It's also possible that St Kilda are slightly ahead, but on the same trajectory as us: because they actually stepped up a gear when a top 8 team hit their best form in the third and fourth quarter, but held and on found a way to win in a very mature fashion. I'd like to see us do that as well as beating the Saints, before declaring us the same.

I still think the Saints are behind us, simply because they rely more on their older players to win, Roo, Joey and Steven carry their team and i'm not sure their youngsters are anywhere near as good as ours. 

I think when Joey and roo retire we'll see the Saints slide back a little bit and the lack of top end talent exposed.

    I have been stuck in airports, planes and taxis today

    i just saw the Whorethorn jumper

    WTF is that in aid of?

    Rocky Road Icecream?

    Must this putrid club be on top of the ladder for eternity?

    That jumper is worse than their normal sewage design

    who allows this garbage!!

    The pink jumper was in support of Cancer Council Tasmania...more personal to them this year because of Roughy.

    Really no different to when we wear pink on our jumper which looks only marginally better.

    Its the cause that counts!

    Still an obnoxious design. But then it is Whorethorn...

    Riewoldt and Montagna fair enough, but Steven is still young, so can't really include him.

    While i see the point you're making, I don't include him in the next crop of emerging Saints ( Billings, McCartin and co ) which i feel lacks depth of talent, they have a couple of good looking players but our depth of quality in terms of our very young group is far superior and that's why i believe we're not only ahead now, but i think we'll be light years ahead in 3 years time.

    The Hawks jumper screamed of a marketing meeting where everyone was too scared about being perceived as insensitive towards cancer, instead of being the one that pointed out that it looked like they were promoting National Turkish Delight week.

    Or Seb Ross. Played a very smart game. Most pressure Dangerfield has had this year.

    Played a good game against us too.

    Just like we did in the last quarter against GWS when Hogan kicked 3 after a pretty ordinary day and Watts flicked the switch. 

    Nah, but it was just cos GWS didn't kick straight.

    Exactly. A large number of Whorethorn's 2008 GF side is still running the show. Until they retire the equalization strategy means stuff all

    Well if teams would bother to put a hard tag on Mitchell and play a defensive forward on Hodge, we may see different outcomes.

    Because any team who wins 4 premierships in a row is clearly not a member of an equalised competition.

    You should coach.

    Simple,true,and has taken everyone 5 years to work out where their drive comes from.

    Smash Mitchell,Hodge and Cyril to a pulp.You win.

    We had a chance to be a contender by now, but Barry Prendergast had other ideas.

    The only thing wrong with the current system is the academies which fly in the face of equalisation, yet Hawthorn get no advantage out of it.

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
