Bailey Smith is a ripper. Only 19 and already looking a gun midfielder. I was a fan in his draft year. That 2018 draft looks to be the best of the decade. Shame we opted out of the first round! 

Doggies looking good in first quarter. Delightful to see lots of niggle!

    Good game so far, high intensity and decent skills. Dogs need to start converting though.

    The pace of this game is incredible!! Come on Doggies, can’t stand Giants and the fake tough guy act.

    This is the level of intensity I expected of the Dees this year after all the "Hell And Back" stuff and offseason talk.

    Let's hope we bring it this week for the first time this year.

    You can have all the intensity in the world but one of these teams will lose tonight (or only get 2 points). I want us to smash teams every week but it just doesn’t happen (unless you’re MJ or coached by Fergie/Klopp).

    Just reckon intensity is one of the key elements we're lacking so far, which is disappointing given all the talk about the 'hurt' and 'fire in the belly' all offseason. Start bringing that consistently and it goes a long way towards smashing teams IMO.

    you can call it intensity I call it scrappy.... terrible spectacle except for the faux rough stuff in the first 15 minutes which had all the reality of world championship wrestling

    It's called run and pressure. Can understand if a Dees fan isn't familiar with it.

    Yeap but GWS have been “intense” and that is the lowest halftime score since year 1. As long as the intensity = scoreboard.

    Does this account for people taking up streaming services?

    90 per cent of statistics are wrong 40 percent of the time.

    They misdirected their inensity I reckon. Doggies focused more on pressure and running intensity whereas GWS were too sucked into the faux tough stuff.

    GWS now without Taranto, Whitfield, Kelly, Greene. Arguably their 4 best players. 

    add to that the usual dogs free kicks 14-6
     

    Gws are done

    Not sure mate. But i would be concerned at Ch 7. 
    lack of scoring is strangling the game...

    Dogs have really shot themselves in the foot here, game should be over but they've kept GWS in it.

    As an aside the highest rating AFL game in Sydney last year got 87,000 in Sydney to watch it.

    Brisbane 74,000

    It's not exactly killing it north of the border

    the average TV audience in Victoria for VFL is 25% higher than the average TV audience for AFL in NSW.

    It is not far short of the average viewing audience for the Swans.

    Why would media companies pay more for an almost stagnating audience in raw numbers and a declining audience in percentage numbers

    • 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?

      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.

      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?
