GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs Bulldogs

Nice mini comeback where we started surging and just chaosballing it forward. ANB's hard running paid off by getting to the right spots. I still struggle to see this as a forward structure that can kick winning scores though.

Backline brilliant, May and Lever holding everything together. Not the biggest Tomlinson fan but he's having a go.

    I know we're running a second rate midfield but our missed tackles and lack of manning up is disappointing.

    I reckon our forward entries have improved and Jones is playing really well as a half forward.

    Lever and May (and the dogs kicking) have kept us in it.

    Would be great to steal this game.

    Really loving ANB game. His work rate is first class.

    Not my favourite Demon, but played a great first half and making me eat my words.

    Long to gawn.... very predictable. We have been doing this for far too long. It might work out in a praccy but never will in a real game

    We are a team so heavily reliant on winning clearances, that when we are missing 3 of our best clearance players, it really shows. We are chasing tail which is understandable. Also Salem missing from Half Back has resulted in a lot of terrible ball movement from the backline. Basically we are doing ok considering who we are playing and what we are playing.

    With Tom our only key forward, why is he never up there leading out to the ball carrier? Fritsch is one out against 3 every time.

    Expecting a big year from ANB

    Just struggled to break out last 2 years, lack of consistent game time

    James Jordon is so far ready for senior footy. Drops a simple mark then gives away a silly free kick. 

    Hasn't impressed at all.

    He's rubbish. Sorry

    Watching at the ground yoy can really see how much running he does and how much distance he covers. Super important with 30 min qs and 75 rotations

    Bacline playing well. Midfield too depleted. Forwards I won't mention but they are trying. We badly need Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney playing.

    ANB forward and mid has been exceptional and May and Lever have kept us in it. We have gotten better as both quarters progress which is a good sign. Forward structure very much a work in progress. You wouldn’t be trembling if you were a dockers backman. I would play LJ ruck and Gawn forward for a lot of the second half.

    Tmac, 3 disposals, 1 of those a turn over resulting in a goal (and a 2nd almost the same).  Bloke is still cooked.

    Nice push by the fat spud in Josh Bruce

    The umpire had good vision of that! That is a perfect example of why that rule was created, push the guy forward when he is in the air so you can take the mark. Unbelievable miss. Yet umpires will pay in the back if you fall onto someone who is already on the ground!

    The best thing to happen in season 2021 so far is the return of normal length quarters. They are really helping us!

    How many guaranteed best 22 players do we have out? 
     

    oliver, brown, Weideman, Salem, Kozzy, Hibberd, Brayshaw, Viney, Melksham

    thats 9 that I can count 

    I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

     

    Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl

    Young fella has contributed positively late in the last quarter by being directly involved in goal scoring chains ...

    Yep

    But a good hit out for the rest,  and pleasingly competitive

    Let's see them maintain 4 qrts

     

    Considering we have 3 of our top four mids out and our main big two targets injured , it’s not a bad effort by a team trying out some kids against the best midfield in the comp

    Has made a few blues, but he is yet to debut at AFL level and he is improving as the game goes on.

    He is also up against arguably the best midfield in the AFL.

    Simpleton comment.

    • 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.

      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?
