Just realized its at a neutral venue too, in Canberra.

Bring it on.

I haven't lived in Canberra for a while now but I don't know anybody there who thinks of GWS as 'their' team (quite the reverse). So yeah, neutral venue.

    Why are the media not tearing strips off Scully?

    $1 million a year for a player who is VFL standard.

    Are GWS and Scully beyond criticism?

    League expansion was a direct result of Fox/Seven wanting 9 matches a round. Of course they aren't going to be critical of their golden goose.

    Caro isn't affiliated with either corporation and has been critical of them, fortunately.

    Crows lead by 57 against North with 5 minutes left before half time. Huge reality check coming up.

    Edit: 63 points now

    Double Edit: 69 points.

    The bad news is our hold on 2nd spot on the ladder is looking tenuous.

    The good news is one of the whinging Scott twins head is about to explode

    North's biggest problem has always been Brad Scott....he does not know how to take them to the next level.

    And, I can't stand either Scott...

    Same. Other than a Melbourne win, watching North get smashed is the next best thing in football.

    Closely followed by watching Essendon choke.

    Scully - 16 possessions. Geez the Giants did us a favour by taking him. Cameron played well but Tommy Mac can go with him.

    Adelaide are absolutely dominating North. It's scary to watch and they should be actually leading by more.

    North could be on the bottom after this round. Tex is on fire.

    North: a team full of duckers, divers and divas. Personified by their petulant pest of a coach.

    Goldstein, Thomas, Boomer, Petrie comfortably amongst the most unlikable flogs in the AFL for their antics.

    [Censored] culture for a [censored] club.

    (And who says I have an irrational hatred of Norf?!)

    Sorry, had to do the redacting but agree entirely with the sentiment

    How awkward was Adelaide singing the song on the boundary line? Hope that doesn't kick on.

    Awful wasn't it!!

    Waite didn't score a point! Great recruiting right there.

    Gave away his customary 50, but showed great improvement by not getting injured or reported. No word on if he has any friends yet though.

    • 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.
