AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

What
in Melbourne Demons

Geelong played a worse game in mid season last year but managed to regroup to put in some good performances before going out of the finals in straight sets.

Definitely on the decline. They have a lot of players coming to the end of their tether and I'm not sure whether the combination of Hawkins and Clark is really going to work - their forward line looked cluttered and one paced.

A lot of their star players are near the end and under Scott the Cats haven't learned a defensive game. Of course they haven't needed it in the past where they went all out attack with the class to do it. As we have seen under Bailey, if you don't have the cattle you can cop a few good beltings with this approach and I think this will be more the norm for them.

    Yes I agree Curry.

    I posted on this forum , when Frawley was still a Dee, that his communication skills were roughly equivalent to a pot plant.

    No offense meant to pot plants.

    yeah,yeah bbo......but what type of pot plant

    some pot plants are sharper than others

    Well folks, do we stick to our predictions of no more than 4-6 wins and bottom four?

    Some of the sides we thought we wouldn't beat looked pretty bog ordinary this round.

    Bears. West Coke. Norf. Even the Pus Kitties. Not to mention the Baggers and the Colliwobbles.

    And that win against the Doggies in NAB Challenge not looking so bad now.

    I thought the number 8 was the magic number last time we did a wins prediction thread.. I still reckon that's about right

    Seems about right. Still hope we can grab a couple more but 8 would be on track.

    My biggest highlight? Carlton are firmly, firmly in the poo.

    As, we hope, are the Whinge-aroos!

    • 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.

    • 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.
