    May has been fantastic since returning, and quite frankly one of the few reasons I've continued to watch games, and not resort to full blown alcoholism.

    This year just keeps on giving.

    Also, why is the official statement that OMac took time off mid season to get his body right? I thought he'd just been playing terribly (I know there are some who disagree), and was dropped. 

    If I underperform at work, and am relegated to the mail room, I don't get to say I'm building the skills necessary for my substantive job?!

    I'm so confused.

    He was playing terribly, right? His form at Casey has not been much better! Why is he back?

    Little to do with Burgess or Misson if players are put back on or not, it's the MEDICAL team who make those calls.

    Further, you would need to be able to show that May going back on is the reason he's missing 1-2 weeks (with a hamstring we presume), as opposed to he would have missed that in any case.

    Not sure why the surprise re O'Mac. He had his break/rebuild after a non-existent pre-season (hip operations), and his form at Casey has been OK to very good.

    But apart from all that, with Hore and May out, and Petty now as our emergency forward because both Tom Mac and Weideman are out (and Preuss isn't up to it as a forward), who else was there?

    Though I'd take an in-form Oscar over Petty as a back any day of the week, and Frost as well - Frost's attack and general mayhem is worth having, but as a one-on-one pure defender he's too easily beaten by smarter/experienced forwards. Oscar's also a more reliable kick coming out of the back line, something we desperately need in any case.

    Oh joy Omac is back. 

    Preuss still should be in the side to develop the chemistry with Max. I know Preuss form wasn’t great last week but most of team has been pathetic for the season so it makes no difference  

    Our season is dead so I don’t  see the point in not playing them together this season so that next season they can hit the ground running.

    This season has been abysmal and an absolute waste of a season. 

    I cant wait for it to end. That’s how much fun our team is to follow.

    With OMac back

    at least I can smile at the expected

    (rightly or wrongly) outrage from posters on land. 

    I have no idea if it’s the correct choice or the wrong  but ........hell we might even win

    Go Dees

    Will be interesting to see the Casey side this week with the emergencies available to play on Sunday. I see the selection this week a a balance between being competitive against the Saint and trying to keep Casey in the race for a finals berth.

    Rubbish.

    Oscar was getting outbodied and outmarked by 185cm no names forwards against the doggies in his last VFL game to the point where they had to shift him forward.

    He is depth now and the sooner May is back the quicker Omac is back at Casey.

    Petty has already shown be has more tricks then Oscar. Time to put all of our development into Petty once our forward line is up and running.

    • 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.

    • 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?
