Interesting. 

 

No Match Review? Could be some Leigh Matthews-type hits behind play

    A bit strange the clubs involved in tonight’s game didn’t provide any score updates or reports for their supporters. Wonder if it was an AFL directive as the broadcasters were trialling some TV tricks. 

    I guess the scores don't really matter but still strange that there was no vision from either clubs. We often get vision from training from clubs and/or journos even if just from their iPhone.

    Not 100% sure Andy, I thought I read somewhere the media wasn’t allowed in last night’s scratch match due to the trialling from the broadcasters. Might explain the lack of vision from the journos.

    I agree that Hibberd is likely to be the one carried over, although the difficulty is that I'd like to see everyone get a run to push for selection. Weiderman needs to have a big crack in this scratch match, demand a spot back in the team. In round one we had an Essendon delisted player come in in front of him and now a 1st year player, if that doesn't motivate him then nothing will.

    I assume this will be held without crowds. I would be nice if we could have at least one Demonlander admitted to provide us with score updates and some narrative. Any volunteers?

    Not sure why its not played tomorrow thus allowing all the emergencies to participate.

    Makes sense. The fewer players we have on the ground to stuff it up the better!

    considering how many we had in from our 2019 best 22 it doesn't surprise me

    Does not fit the 'pot the club at every opportunity' narrative.

    Carlton tweeted there will be a report on the match on their official site tomorrow. Could be the same for us.

    Josh Mahoney on Before the Bounce reported:

    Weideman And Brown both kicked 5-6 goals

    AvB and Hannan played the whole game

    Good for Brown's accuracy & Weid's confidence levels (he's shown what he can do, now he just needs to back himself week after week).

    Great to hear AVB got through the whole game (and hopefully unscathed)!

    Interesting re weid. Im not a fan but Id love t see him step up and at least make Jackson work really hard to keep his spot. The trouble is that these scratch matches really give very little real indication of how a player would fare in 18 a side games. So the step up will be huge for players between the levels. Strange times.

    The biggest problem with Sam I think is confidence. He has shown he can perform, he just needs a major boost of confidence.

    • 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?
