    It would be classic Dees to blow today so it is a good test to see how mentally tough they really are. Could be season defining.

    Why oh why do I see Toby Greene or worse a nondescript play outa their skin and we dont turn up ! That would be so utterly Melbourne. I of so little faith.lets see

    Never need to post these days. It all gets said better than I could say it. 

    Let's harken back to the Northey days, when we had finally shrugged off the easybeats tag and had belief.

    Langdon reminds me of the Febey twins. There is only one of him, but it always looks like two of him out there. 

    PS Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, but the nusing home staff have learned better than to let me watch the dees games live. Too many solid objects thrown at too many screens.?

    Got my 50 year MCC membership earlier this year. Wondering if that trumps my 50 year ban from the members.  ?

     

     

       

     

    Well Posted there Rollinson 65!

    I'm with you on the great Swoopwer.

    My Northey take away is of teams that were never prepared to lie down or be beaten till the end. 

    Last week I saw the team challenged twice and deal with it professioanlly. Small sample size as they say but I felt the saints game would be some sort of marker for this season. I expect the same today at Canberra and be 3 - 0 by 8.30 AEST.

    Don't underestimate how deep the scars are!  I have never been confident before a game and I don't think I ever will be.

    With Saints going down to the hapless Dons, and the Blues towelling up Freo, I’m getting an uncomfortable feeling that beating both means little, and we may be in for a shock today...

    Gotta start well.

    Go Demons.

    Totally incorerct assumption here PaulRB. - although undertsandable.

    The issue this season is that once the Dees beat you, you stay beaten for at least another few weeks.

    Seriously, the saints would have pencilled in the game last week as a win - Rude shock .

    I've just been enjoying the Romsey sun while slurping down 4 stubbies of Jameson and cola that one of my acolytes left behind. It's rubbish but alcoholic - the sort of stuff that @picket fencewould rate as a very fine brew.

    Time to open a shiraz and start my pre game routine.

    I note that a few above are less than confident.

    Bah to that! I've loaded up on Sportsbet - my nethers tell me we're a good thing today!

    I imagine your nethers have made many of your life decisions over the years. Don’t lead us wrong today!!

    If we come out flat, I’ll be looking to Trac, Viney, Gawn, May, Oliver, Lever, Jetta to lift us. That is why you gave leaders and gun players. You earn your money to correct the ship

    i wont be blaming the bottom 6

    I'm at Cape Paterson , Picket, you might hear me from there

    Any chance of Hunt going to Greene? Has the athleticism but may be challenged with the smarts. Hard to see who else could go with Greene.

    Yep. Still think we're favourites but it looks like we've snuck past the bottom couple of sides, aside from North.

    Looking for a clinical performance, this evening.

    Anyone attending that can give a weather update?

    Currently enjoying a convivial at the Kingston prior to the game. Judging by the team colours on display we should out number GWS support by 3 to 1. Mind you Mrs DW and I make enough noise to drown out 40 oppo supporters 

    Give em a few load BALL calls for me?

     

    At least they haven't got Mumford to thugerise Max this year. The endorsement of that game from the AFL was a disgrace

    If we win today it will be the first time since 2005 with a 3-0 start. Buts it’s like us to stuff up a great opportunity. I hope not.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • 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.
