Such a 50/50 game for mine.

Jeffy will have is work cut out with Docherty who is in sublime form. I see this as the most important match up today because I reckon Garlett will need to put at least 3 goals on the scoreboard for us to be a chance. I think it was the Rd 2 game that Jeffy chased down Docherty in the F50 and kicked a snag with the resulting HTB decision - more of that please.

Gibbs also concerns me. Accumulates ball, uses it well and hits the scoreboard... Need a tag on Gibbs but not sure who gets that job.

Trying to pick winners this season has completely done my head in, so I'm going with my heart today.  Dees by a skinny margin and sitting 4th spot at the end of the weekend.  How nice would that be?

Would be nice to pot Tigres out of 4th spot wouldnt it...

I suspect Melksham will go to Docherty and Vince to Gibbs.

Without varying opinions I would find this site very boring.

I know, I'm just teasing. I just feel like the purveying mood around here is fear.

We've been really competitive for 95% of the season. I've got no reason to suspect we won't today. 

im tipping us to win  and hope we win well  i was just saying its going to be a  wet day and infor a hard slog

Hardly a cloud in the sky, forecast mainly fine

which weather forecast are you looking at????  There's a 5% chance of rain in the 4-7pm window as per the BoM site

Today we really need the leaders to lead and the up and comers, Oliver, Petracca et al, to up and come.

This. I didnt even realize wed slipped to 8th overnight. This season your gone in a flash.

Mmmm remember St Kilda were 'gone' last week... its all about the body of work...

Carlton traditionally play a very defensive game.

I went to the Docklands and watched their upset win against GWS. Their defence sits back and just picked off the run and carry of the Giants. This then allowed them to quickly counter attack through unmarked men and then take a mark in the forward line.

Our normal game plan does not work well against this style so I trust that Goodwin has some tricks up his sleeve. One obvious ploy is to leave a quick mobile tall near the forward line to counter balance the defensive line. I'm sure there are others.

Not how I would look at it. GWS are hopeless at putting pressure on the counter attack from their forward 50. We are one of the best at that so Carlton shouldn't find it anywhere near as easy as they did against the Giants.

Go Dees.

I didnt mean we were gone.....i was just saying how fast it can happen.


We are quite tall, I wonder if that will hurt us if it's wet?

The cards are unsettled today, my friends. The minor arcana hint at difficulties with opposing forces, and the revealing of the Chariot was perplexing, to say the least. The adjacency of the Hanged Man and The World could suggest a fast, open game but, then again, when The Magician appeared, could it imply a slog, with too many defensive roles for an attractive game.

Dees by 13 points.

Big game today...Really it is

prepare them right Simon, it's what a good coach does. 

Smack them hard in the first quarter, then dictate the game. 

Carlscum are well coached kids, we have no excuse now that Garlett Gawn and Jesse are out there

I think you should sit out the next pass around of any spliff.

  • 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.

  • 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?
