Not sure the Hawthorn forwards are going to benefit from Frawley delivering into their forward 50. He seems to be in a competition with himself about how high and long he can kick it every time.

    Pretty much the perfect weekend of footy.

    Demons win

    Bombers blowing a 41 point lead

    Cats flogged

    The cats won two of the quarters. I call that a draw!

    Irrespective of his general decision making and flaws, Frawley seems to have made an astute decision in joining the Hawks. Problem is his flaws are now more glaring. Still he will be an asset when the opposition are having a crack and pumping the ball forward as long as only he punches the ball.

    Holy Hell, I just had a look at who I tipped this round. I'm proud to say I backed us over the Gold Coast. That was one of the few I got right. I think I have some catching up to do already. :)

    I don't reckon next round will be any easier, mate.

    Yep GWS actually have a forward line, and a better midfield in my opinion. It will be a big challenge, but if we win I reckon we're finals contenders; hopefully do a port adelaide.

    And North getting absolutely belted.

    Very close to the perfect weekend.

    After attending the match today I hope Geelong has fallen off a cliff because the Dorks just played stunning football after the first quarter. If the Cats are still a top 6 side God help the rest of the competition. We might as well hand them threepeat cup now. If they had kicked the ones they usually do that could have been 100 pts plus. Their run and spread looks unstoppable, they somehow have 4 players at every contest and multiple options on the outside forward or back. Geelong made a lot of unforced errors, they maybe on the slide big time, they matched the Dorks on the inside for a while but they look very slow on the outside. No Varco, Christiansen this year, Motlop tried but made errors and Cockatoo was overawed. Mitch looks abit slower than I remember but still played well with 3 goals and a good run in the ruck. Hawkins had a shocker.

    His first 2 goals were complete gimmes then he hardly touched it for a half of footy. His last goal was a lovely kick though

    I presume these observations were relayed by your manservant while you endured the rigours of the Members Bar Earl?

    Dangerfield must be watching this and having second thoughts about joining Geelong, a club on the decline.

    I thought he was always going to the Hawks. They had big money put aside for Buddy.

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

    My niece who is a Hawks supporter was at the game. She sent me a text saying she was booing MC and the guy next to her kept screaming out that MC owed the Dees money!
  • Quote

    think about how loud 27,000 of us were on Saturday

    MC is SO lucky he won't have to face that, instead we play them at SS where our supporters can hardly even get into the ground

    wtf do I mean 'lucky' , 90% of our games vs geelong are down there. What a disgrace

    Leigh Mathews reckons they've peaked too early. He said they should have only won by 4 goals. WTF

    • 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.
