POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs. Essendon

Positives:

No turnovers.

Backline kept the opposition scoreless.  May and Lever anchored us well.

Hussle around the packs and pressure from the mids and forwards didn't allow them to touch the ball at all.

Bombers are absolute knobs.

Negatives:

Conor McKenna.

We didn't score.

We struggled again with that mid forward connection and couldn't get the ball inside 50 once.

Tom McDonald to cop it again this week after not clunking a single mark.

Thoughts?

    The votes will be interesting this week.

    With the back line keeping them scoreless, you would think votes will go there.  Lever a standout.

    The problem is that we’re now behind the eight ball as far as our preparation for our next game is concerned. No compensation for that and later in the season we’re going to potentially have a crowded fixture.

    The impact on our preparation from last week to next week is unavoidable, there's nothing the AFL can do about that. We're not going to get "compensated" - we're unlikely to be the only side to cop this, and even if we are, it's a preferable alternative to having no season at all.

    If there are no other tests (unlikely, but let's run with it), then I guess the hope would be that we play Essendon at the end of the season prior to finals: that way both sides come off the same shorter break.

    Just check most of the other threads.  I'm sure you'll find one in there.

    Don't worry Clint Bizkit will provide the negatives re the coaching and who we didn't draft/let go. never fails

    Goodwin still can’t coach. No improvement at all compared to last week. It was like he wasn’t even there!

    • 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?
