There are...just saying 

Now that made me laugh

 

I absolutely hate this stadium.

It took 20 minutes to get a beer. Just as long to take a [censored].

It is absolutely putrid in here.  Humidity at 100%. Bar ran out of water.  

 

We have a number of players who can only play better in the second half. Hopefully the loss of J Smith does not come back to hurting the last quarter.

Salem and Viney need to give us more, both are capable.

OMac's 1st quarter was horrendous.

Lewis, Jones and Oliver our best, while Brayshaw had a crucial burst on the ball imo, and his mate Petracca has been very dangerous.


Experience can mean so much. Lewis, Vince and Jones were epic in that quarter.

Structure means so much in modern footy. Changed structure and Roberton is hardly sighted. 

OMac....

TMac beginning to redeem himself. Weideman working very hard.

The grunt of Jetta, Hunt and Brayshaw makes me want to watch the footy again. 

Petracca, Oliver and Stretch - Wow. 

How can we play quarter 1 and quarter 2 in the same match? 

Stare cam? Really?

 

Gawn apparently went down the rooms with a stiff back...

I had a stiff something after that quarter as well.


Couldnt care less if i get shot down over this comment but I've had an absolute gutful of Oscar Mac.

Seriously? ?? Still playing like a deer in the headlights. Absolute zilch mongrel factors and doesn't want the ball. Please heal quickly Smith and hibberd!!!

I'm pretty sure he sustained that in the first quarter after pushing membrey in the back. Probably just precautionary. 

Brad Johnson appears to be going for the Teddy Whitten hairstyle

Hopefully it's not premature priapism

Might be the noise from Albert Park. Remember one year I was there with the roof open and the noise was horrid.

I'm more nervous now than I was at start of the game.  

Yep, first 10 minutes is crucial.

Can Duhwayne Russell stop umpiring the game from his fugging microphone?

Dont see how they could justify picking him on the basis of today. Development is one thing but there's a limit, surely.

Have a feeling we might smash them in the second half. But don't count on 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?
