    Jason Dunstall is tool. He said that we will in only same number of games as last year.

    What a great game and so nice to see Harmes, Kent and Kennedy feature so well. I particularly like the way that we had a good mix of goal kickers with Hogan only chiming in at the last quarter after a number of missed opportunities. Great to see Watts, Oliver and Garlett dominating a quarter each and so many contributors overall. Considering the fact that we still have Petracca, Brayshaw and Trengove to debut, we may well be in for a good year.

    If we cut the skill errors down by 50% from what they have been in the NAB cup we are a huge chance to win 10

    Kennedy and Oliver have cemented their spots for Round 1. It turns out Kennedy can kick, already like him more than Howe. We all love Oliver but how good was his handpass to Salem in the last quarter. You can't teach that.

    Piggy is one of the better analysts and I think he has a case; let's not get carried away by the NAB Challenge.  We're improving, no doubt, and we've got plenty of grunt but we still butcher the ball too much and the top teams will make us pay time and again.  Brisbane were undefeated in last years NAB challenge and look how that turned out....

    When we win a premiership, we may need a whole new level of service ... :-)

    Another 15 goals and 100+ points. Clear intent to move the ball faster, more corridor-based movement too.

    Impressive games from Oliver, Bugg and Kennedy, too.

    Dumb skill errors are still a huge issue but the pre-season has at least delivered three wins and clear progress on the attacking front.

    Yep, matt jones went off with a concussion in the first quarter. So 22 v 24 for the last 3 quarters.

    Bugg,  Kennedy and Oliver certainties for Round 1.

    Also worth bearing in mind we had no VDB, Brayshaw, Dunn, Lumumba, Trengove, Petracca or Dawes, and 22 vs 24, against a side at full strength which most "pundits" think are certainties to be better than us this year. At Etihad, against an Etihad-based side.

    Only a practice match, but a result to be happy with at any rate.

    Lots of things to like about the game.

    The one thing that stood out again was our fitness.  For three weeks in a row we've run out games really well, and it was even more impressive with the interchange caps in place and an injury early in the game.

    Watts was fantastic as the link up man, our small forwards applied huge amounts of pressure and our midfield got on top as the game went on.

    Some handy players to return as well means that we couldn't be going on to Round 1 with a better frame of mind.

    Ignore the commentators/media, they have been out of the game too long and have their own agendas.

    Our team has shown a very impressive improvement in getting/moving the ball - now it is time to capitalise on this improvement and refine the required skills and precision of movement.

    Be happy - the Dees are on the climb!

    I'm a happy little vegemite.

    I just cant wait until round 1. I would like an early surprise from the easter bunny and have CP5 placed anywhere he bloody well likes on the forward line.

    along side Hogan Garlett Kent VdB Watts Pedo. and my basket of easter goodies

    • 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.

    • 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.
