AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

I hate Hawthorn but my hatred for Clark is greater.

Suck [censored] coward. Could have stuck it out and got a win this week. Instead you're getting flogged. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Enjoying the boos he's getting too. Nobody has any sympathy for him it seems.

 

Geelong are rubbish. Enright looks like he has already retired and Bartel isn't much better. Even Selwood is having a poor game.

Hawks on today's form would have flogged anyone, but will be interesting to see what becomes of Geelong this season. Lots of geriatrics playing for them today.

Oh, how much I would give to finish above them.


Bartel Enright Longergan and Stokes all look cooked.

Hawthorn would have beaten anyone today I'm sure, but Geelong's kids have never looked remarkable to me. Commentators seem to think they have this amazingly rejuvenated list but every single time their senior players have poor days (Bartel, Enright, Johnson etc.), as has happened today, the kids go missing completely. It's easy to look good when you're thumping GWS or St Kilda at Skilled Stadium, but I don't rate their list outside of that core of superstars, and if they slide this year, I don't rate Geelong.

Bartel Enright Longergan and Stokes all look cooked.

Yep, and you can add Stevie J to that list as well. A number of their good players are all over 30.

Plus their ruck division is a shambles as well. They might struggle a bit this year.

 

I'd say the westbound lanes of the westgate fwy. would be busy right now

lol @ that horrible handball Chip gave to Gibson setting him up to get crunched


lol @ that horrible handball Chip gave to Gibson setting him up to get crunched

It was a real MFC special, wasn't it?


clark just got his first touch in about an hour and you could definitely hear booing. Think about that Mitchy boy

Very surprising the hawks fans are booing Clark. I knew there had to be something good about hawks fans

Mitch Clark is an amazing mark and kick of the footy. Why is he not at Melbourne still? It's an absolute travesty.

Geelong second bottom of the ladder after round one and Melbourne in Fourth. Who'd have picked that a week ago?

I like this season already.


Hate the commentators constantly saying 'frawley must love his new environment'. He's absolute sh*t! Can't kick, poor decision making- he is actually one of the reasons we have been so poor. Very glad he's gone.

Exactly.

Also, this game just reaffirms why we must back the players in our side who have skill good foot skills. We can only afford a few of the battlers who work hard but constantly butcher the ball.

 

Here I was thinking Clark left us chasing success.

Guess I was wrong, sorry Mitch.

Shaw only got one week for Kent hit

Delidio the same - lucky imo

interesting only one week considering he lifted his elbow to hit him in the head.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
