Lions seem to have had a rough draw to start the year. 

- The 4 games so far vs Saints, Demons, Port and Tigers and

- 3 of 4 games intertsteate:  2 trips to Victoria and 1 to Adelaide. 

No wonder they've run out of puff.

Would like to see them win a few especially against the teams I really hate (have only moderate dislike for Lions which is the best I can give to any AFL side).

I don't think they're that bad, with talent. So on your post Re the tough draw, I wonder if in another say 6 weeks, IF they will have Regrouped? And win some of those games you mention.

 

I hope they do.

Weird thing was, the season where 186 happened (2011) wasn't even that bad in the scheme of things - we finished 12th with 8 wins and a draw. It was otherwise looking to be a reasonable development year under Bailey until the club did its best to self-destruct.

It was 2013 where the wheels completely and utterly fell off with two wins at 54%, which as ET said, was Fitzroy like.  

Gotta love reliving these great memories.

Very true. 

1-8-6 is indelibly written on my soul...:(

...which only a premiership can erase :)

I’d rather to have lost by 186 than never to have lost at all. 

you might get away with that on the Collingwood forum ET but not here on the mensa board with all us Greek and Latin scholars

Kangaroos vs Carlton is on free to air....  geez.

It does not get any more boring and irrelevant than these two minnows playing each other.

you are such a romantic ET...:mellow:

...Tennyson would be proud of your ability to play on his words...:huh:

Aliir looks lost across half forward.


I would love to start a thread about the psychology. ...philosophy. ...sociological aspects of afl supporting.

Its interesting the tribal passion we have. Sometimes I wo der if it brings more unhappiness than joy but I guess on the whole it gives me much fun and entertainment.

Its great bonding now with my son which is a new dimension. 

Cant imagine not having it or following another team. Cant imagine winning a flag though. Would be awesome.

Time is going so slow, I just want North v Carlton to start already! So pumped.

a pity we don't have Bruce to call the game but I assume BT will make up for it

I know it. Have you ever looked forward so much to what promises to be a lousy game of footy?

It just gets better and better. 

Netflix will be the real winner. 

The Dogs small forward line seems to have gone to poo.

They should have won that but as they can't seem to fit a leading target within the 30 meter range, they usually have to ping at it off crumbs, spillages and sneaky leads in the forward pocket.

A big CHF or FF would help but their nine year investment is in the Magoos.

 

Like him or not, McVeigh is such a pro in defence.

For anyone who's interested I can confirm it is a horrible night in Hobart, had to pedal my bike down the hills to get to work otherwise I would have been blown back up them.  Just sitting here listing to the rain belting down on the roof. Shame because yesterday was perfect weather for footy.  Anyhow, should make for an already terrible game to be even worse.

Just need north to get up to get my multi home.

  • 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.

  • 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.

      • Thanks

  • 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?
