Anticipation level

I must be honest and state quite categorically that I am not pumped about the imminent start of the seaon .

Perhaps I'm a pessimist , perhaps I'm a realist , but whatever the case , the viagra's not working and I'm just not excited enough to give the opening to the season any more than a 5 out of 10 on an anticipatory level .

Where are you on the excitement level ?

    mine would be hovering around the same level at this stage - but I'm sure come Friday night (about 3 or 4 schooners in) - I'll be pumped and the levels will have risen somewhat!

    9/10. Absolutely pumped for the season opener.

    However if we were playing Freo away my excitement levels would dip down to a 6.

    Very excited about the first 4 weeks as all our games are at the MCG, albeit against finals contenders (St.K, Freo and Geel). I believe the only way we can make top 4 this year is if we're 4-0 after round 4 and 6-1 after round 7. This means we can only afford to lose to Sydney in round 5 or Dogs at Telstra Dome in round 7.....before we head off to West Coast.

    We also play 1 more game at the MCG than last year...due to finally playing Collingwood twice in the one season!!! We also play Carlton twice at the MCG...surely we'll take care of them this time.

    On the flip side, my excitement levels dip down a bit after I think about our pre-season performance where there was very little improvement shown and very few highlights....bar Jones, Moloney's comeback and Jeff White's 3 goal haul against Richmond.

    Could go either way for the Dees and Daniher. Traditionally 2 teams come into the 8 and 2 team drop out. Could very well be us??

    About a 9 now, it'll gradually build as I take the train down and walk into the MCG, when the ump blows his whistle I'll be at breaking point.

    Definately pumped!!

    9/10.... Only 1 off a perfect score, but that is due to the fact that I no longer live in Melbourne :(

    I can't wait for Friday night to get here, not only to see how we go against the Sanints, but to see how The Ox speaks about us on live TV.... Will be interesting!!

    BRING IT ON!!!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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?
