Simple reason people are asking why Lockhart   Isn’t playing is we don’t have a small lockdown defender! 

if tipinwoodi kicks 3-4 

walters vs Freo unmarked for easy goals

    Well should Nev retire at the end of this year then the enduring image of him could be him putting his body on the line in a tight do or die match which we won.

    I really like what we've seen of Lockhart this year so I hope him not getting a game is due to a desired match up, I would have him ahead of Smith otherwise (although admittedly Smith has looked less like a headless chook lately).

    Hibbo back to face his old team, he was poor early in the year but he's come back into the form we know he capable of from about round 7 onwards.

    Get it done Dees!

    Smith played a really good game last week on Himmelberg who got dropped this week after his performance, other than that I think he is a liability.. I just worry whenever he is near it or has to dispose of it

    Lockhart not even an EMG this week, would love the club to bring forward some transparency on what's happening with him.

    Do you really expect the club to tell supporters and media about the reason why 22 other blokes are not in the squad? 

    Lockhart is a mid- range player that has others in front of him, no commentary required.   It’s not like they are leaving Gawn out of the side.

    ?when did Lockhart become the greatest defender in history? 
    You blokes are kidding yourself. Lockhart is average at best and has a habit of turning it over.  Hibbo is miles ahead of him.

    We said the same thing about Dan Butler, who didn't score when we played the Saints, and Tom Papley, who was handy without causing us a whole lot of damage.

    I'm a Lockhart fan but, apart from Smith, I'm happy with how our back line has been selected.

    hibbo had 3 kicked on him by walters and everyone was saying hes not small enough for the slippery little blokes then nev had 3 kicked on him by daniel last week who basically hadnt kicked a goal all season until then and now tippa is gonna run riot pretty much unopposed. u should be more worried

    Not worried in the slightest.

    Agree with that! Where are our goals going to come from?

    Sure, just find it interesting given the chatter about them both recently.

    Just has the look of a mid table team

    I can count 7 players that you can argue should/shouldn't be in the team.

    Bad memories of our loss to their Reserve side

    I don’t think he is the greatest defender, but was starting to play the role, and at least stayed down, rather than up for the punch!

    No Jacko. If we need to gain 50+ points on the Saints we better be hoping GWS make up the lions share of them as I can't see us doing it tbh. 

    Jackson is a surprise omission but fair enough, he should not be risked this late in case we win against Essendrug.

    Agreed, and good disposal generally. I thought he was starting to develop and could become Nev 2.0 

    One of these guys that would benefit from 6-10 games in a row to cement a spot

    I'd reckon Smith had to be in the side, so he could rotate, slipping forward for an intercept and goal or two.

    Fair point '56. I just thought he worked so well with the Weid prior to his injury and is a good chop out for Max who still looks to be playing a little sore. Brown is a bit too beige for mine.

    Positive change with Hibbs run and skills.

    Yes we need the Weid and Pickett to nail 3 or more each this week. They need to fire.

    • 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.

      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?
