MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11

We will certainly need fitzy next week against the Blitz show at Geelong, lucky Stanley is out, hopefully Mitch not back.

I like the team this week but it is also very young and inexperienced. Brayshaw, Stretch, Toumpas, ANB, Michie all very young in their careers.

The Hulk and Viney as well. The hulk is very green

    I'm worried about the Dunn on Bruce matchup.

    I'd hate for the game to be decided purely on Bruce kicking 6+ because we've got nobody to play on him.

    Dunn should be playing on the oppo's 3rd or 4th fwd not No 1 or 2.

    This is where the loss of Frawley will occasionally rear its head (although still rather Brayshaw than Frawley)

    Riewoldt kicked 9 against us at the MCG one year, and we beat them by 50+ if I remember it right. A balanced team goes ok, even if there is a winner on the other side.

    Disagree.

    He is very versatile, being so tall and quick. Yes he is no champion but he can still improve. He can play ruck, forward or back and can snag a goal. If played forward, he is actually not an easy match up for opposing teams.

    We have several others who will go before him.

    Absolutely agree Mr Red

    surprised no one cares about this big out...

    If we win it's not going to be because Roberton was a late out

    Schneider is a bigger loss for the saints.

    They took a lot of class out of their team. Expecting a lot of turnovers from them.

    Nothing to do with a jinx. 20 in a row says it all

    As long as a Gawn stands up I think we will win. If he goes down we are in deep Doo Doo.

    Agreed. Gawn dominates and we win.

    Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I saw this on Saintsational. It refers to a Robbo article which describes what he saw and heard at a St. Kilda planning session.

    A lot of interesting points about how Melbourne plays and strategies the Saints have noted that we have used.

    Good work xarronn - some interesting stuff. I particularly liked reading some of the forum comments. One poster refers to Robbo as "the obese [censored] head".

    Not silly those aints supporters.

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
