Christ if there was a night I wish the Saints would just capitulate, it's tonight. Of course they're taking it up to Sydney and the game's going to be a shootout.

They get such an advantage at Etihad but aren't much chop anywhere else.

    Text message from Paul Roos to John Longmuir during the half-time break of St.Kilda v Sydney -

    "Yeah, Longsy, we're rolling here, better knock St Kilda out for us"

    Reply -

    "Sure thing Roosy, gimme 5 minutes."

    Looking increasingly likely that only the victor of Melbourne/Port will remain in the finals race. Please don't [censored] this up, Dees! Fire up!

    I think it's fair to say now that we're the only team outside the top eight that can make it. It's still a tough gig but ...

    We're mathematically the only team that can make the eight.  Port are now a game too far behind and St Kilda have an irrecoverable percentage problem.

    One less, soft goal free to the Roos, against us and we would be in the 8 today.

    GWS' choke was incredible, they had the ball two or three times in that final 60 seconds but couldn't close it out. Steve Johnson going for a kick off the ground instead of putting his head over the ball to win a contested possession didn't help.

    Only ourselves to blame, Redleg. If not in the North game then in the West Coast and Essendon games.

    If we don't make it this year, I hope those three losses drive us to finals in 2017.

    Agree, but what I meant is that one free kick less, was a two game turnaround. They lose 4 points and we get 4 points and we are in.

    You dont reckon the bombers are having a crack today because the lions won yesterday and a win still won't get them off the bottom and pick 1

    I wonder how many weeks Harvey will get for his hit on Mitchell. There's no way that can't be a suspension. 

    Two would be perfect. :P

    I almost tipped Brisbane to beat Carlton tomorrow but then thought of how counter-productive this would be for Leppitsch and his attempt to win a priority pick. Carlton by 104 points. 

    Fremantle will lose to Adelaide at Domain Stadium by the same amount of Dockers supporters who will attend the game. 337 points.

    Should have backed Bummers today . Two games clear on the bottom. Can afford to win one now. Not tanking though, must get that number 1 draft pick safely in the bag......

    Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but wouldn't it be funny if Essendon won today and then beat Carlton in Round 23 and end up losing that first pick?

    GO BOM--

    GO B---

    Can't bring myself to do it.

    I hope they both fall over with 44 hammies and both teams get relegated to the VFL.

    There is the argument for wanting to play teams in any predicament, but surely it's better if the Tiges beat Geelong and the r23 game has no bearing on top 4 or for them losing a 5/6 home final. Go Tiges.

    I'm REALLY enjoying the fact at the moment that the big 4 Melbourne clubs (Coll, Ess, Rich, Carl) are the worst four performing Melbourne based clubs on the ladder.

    The only thing that would make this even better is if Hawthorn was the fifth worst...

    A good weekend for MFC. Not only a win and still in finals contention, but thanks to Gold Coast, they have now avoided the humiliation of being the only team to have lost to Essendon this year.

    How convenient, Essendon come out and win as soon as they're 2 games clear at the bottom of the ladder. :rolleyes: 

    Hard not to think they've been underperforming through winnable games by design. Couldn't be more obvious than Worsfold leaving Rich untagged a few weeks ago, despite it being Coaching 101 for every other team that played Brisbane this year.

    Anyway, thank Christ we've been saved the embarrassment of being the only team to lose to them.

    • 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.

    • 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.

      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?
