    I keep saying there are no decent teams this year.

    Anyone who makes the eight is a chance.

    I can't remember a season like this.  Literally anyone can beat anyone.

    If it wasn't for Silvani dreaming up  the masterplan to setup the GWS in the first 3yrs and entice 8-10 fringe GWS players to come to Carlton while he was head of their list management they would be screwed. He knew very well to have a strong healthy list for his kids to play in (3 boys) He had been in cohouts with Carlton of his plans with the proviso that his kids are all Father son selections and a healthy pay packet this was there way out of the dungeons. A once in a lifetime opportunity Carlscum,Silvani and Mike Fitspatrick have concocted.

    Just back from Docklands .... left at 3/4 time.... lousy game end to end play and then ball up or intercept in the forward line.

    Absolutely freezing at Docklands.... with the roof shut for a game that started at 3:20pm.

    Not sure what to make of the Orange Men.... forwards not really positioning themselves or doing enough with the lead.

     

    Correct.  Freezing for an indoor venue, today was no different to usual.

    I was sure the umpires were trying to gift GWS the game in the last few minutes. Good thing that the AFL master plan had another little setback today.

    I don't usually get complimentary about opposition clubs... But wow, I wonder if the Blues realise they've got one in Bolton. Am super impressed by how he gets what he gets out of some out-and-out spuds. Very Bevo like.

    A lot on here don't rate him, not that it means much. The man can coach, yea indeedy. 

    Suck a fat one GWS.

    I can safely say I tipped Carlton and Bris NO Sandilands no freo and they are flat track no wet weather team (how did we manage too lose unbelievable)and Bris off the break GWS are decimated with injuries and Carl coming off a break.?

    Without checking my facts I believe Carlton had 8 x top 10 draft picks running around today. 

    4 pick 1's - Kreuzer, Murphy, Gibbs, Weitering 

    Pick 2 - Thomas (spud now)

    Pick 3 - Ploughman

    Pick 6 - Marchbank

    Pick 10 - Sumner

    Charlie Curnow was pick 12 and Cripps 14.

    That's ten players inside pick 15.  Add Simpson and Docherty and the nucleus for a decent side is there.  They need more midfield depth.

    Any team who makes the 8 can win the Flag this year. 

    It is all above the shoulders

    Fire Up Demons. It can be done

    Docherty was pick 12, so better make that more than ten players inside top 15.

    Wow the Hawks are 2nd last.  Awesome to witness their downfall and even better they dont have their first round pick...  but on the downside, St Kilda will have a very high pick in the draft.  Can only wish they pick a dud.

    It's a bit like that, isn't it. Not a popular potential premier, the G-men.

    Toby Greene missed a heap of simple goals the last 2 games. I wonder which is the real Toby Greene. His kicking was shocking early in his career. 

     

    Also, if Tom McDonald wants to know what he'll look like in 20 years, Andrew McKay can show him.

    I had to work so watched the last 2 minutes on the afl website. Gee how many chances did gws have then? The ball was right in there square in the dying seconds. Good defending by carlton. Not sure what Toby Greene was thinking with that kick into the pocket that went between 2 of there players. also what was with that miss he did running into goal. He should have given the nadball over the top. 

    Gosh what a strange round of results. It makes tomorrow more nerve racking.

    • 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.
