    Well deserved:  22 possessions, 15 contested, 7 clearances, 2 of which in the 4th qtr set up the play for our 4th qtr comeback and did all that with just 58% game time.  Far better than other candidates when % game time is considered.

    Simply awesome!

    Edit:  Here is the AFL story http://www.afl.com.au/risingstar Interesting that Clarrie credits Macca with the performance:  "'Macca' [Demons development coach Brendan McCartney] told me to see ball, get ball – just go hard at the ball and win it, and that's it," Oliver told Fox Footy.

    His first half was staggering and was given limited time in the second half. I can't remember a more exciting debut for us. That includes Flash Davey and Sean Charles.

    Fantastic result. Hoping that either Oliver or Petracca takes out the award at the end of the year. 

    It is great to see Melbourne have a mid like Oliver who can win the game of of his own boot. 

    Bring on round 2.

    I'm backing Oliver in. 

    Kennedy is a fair chance.

    Danger or Gray for the Brownlow

    Dogs/Eagles/Hawks/Port for the flag. 

    $80 in total for the 8 scenarios. 

    I did ok this week so happy to part with it. Stranger things have happened but if one of them gets up....

    What were you thinking?

    In the back half Murphy, Boyd, Morris and Picken all 30 or older and provide most of their drive.  Stringer makes their forward line look a lot better than what it is and their rucks are still a worry.

    Geelong or West Coast I reckon.

    Did anyone see Parish play? 

    Stats read well but some commentators today hinted at 1 - the opposition and 2 - the stage of the game when he got them. 

    Obviously early days.

    It really is a simple game that many try to make complicated. 

    See ball, get ball.  ??

    And add dispose of ball cleanly and effectively, which he also did to perfection.

    Wasn't it SY. Haven't been that excited for a young fella's first up for a long time. Must watch the last quarter. Was at the game but only watched the 1st quarter replay so far.

    I think the "draft bolter" has started to justify his selection. Well done young man!

    • 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?
