We so far seem to lack the killer instinct. A little mongrel, like Vegemite, goes a long way.

i wouldn't say that. more like we have lacked a bit of accuracy infront of goals

very pleased how boys have played out games without letting up

Sparrow or Jordan perhaps?

Jordon will play. Goody said as much in a mid week presser

I was at that infamous match.

Even if we had won, we would have been thrashed by Carlton in the GF the following week.

We will never know that!

you are not alone, od. my 98yo mil in nursing home is 1a and has no idea when she will get it. same for rest of nursing home.

i'm 1b. at least my gp has me on wait list but no idea when he will get supply

fortunately there's no covid out and about (yet)......

I see there are 6 cases in quarantine in the NT all off a flight from India. I am the same DC. On the list but no idea when. It is a shambles. That anyone in 1b has been given the vaccine before 1a is finished is a discrace.

Petty is a definite starter and he was always going to be. I found it hard to believe that some Posters didn’t have him coming in this week.

Despite there being a natural vacancy, he absolutely needs this game before being even more required against the Tigers next week.

Petty has done his apprenticeship, hes impressed all preseason and in all practice games. He even impressed at a few AFL games at the end of 2019. What we know is he can take a grab and has great timing in his leap.

He would be bursting at the seams to get out there on the MCG after not playing all of 2020. Excited to see him out there.

Going to be a star.

Reckon they will play Sparrow and Rivers will be the sub. Just a guess.

I would hope not...

Don’t agree. I was also at that match. We had real momentum, in spite of the loss of Flower, who was absent for at least half the match. It was our dropped marks in the final quarter which were crucial. We were superior in all other aspects of the game. One of the saddest days of my demon life.

The only concilation is that Jim Stynes subsequently had a fabulous career and did play in the 1988 GF as a precursor of a powerful 1990s for the club, but sadly no flag.

An absolute disgrace. I’ve been trying to get my mum a vaccine. She is a nurse at an aged care hospital and over 65. When I plugged in her details it said, she is phase Ia, we are currently in phase 1b. My bollocks we are!

i know young people in the health industry that have been able to get it and they don’t even see patients. A bloody joke. Nurses etc are risking their lives for us and wearing masks/shields etc all day long

Rivers looked a bit tired last week and we will have more than enough drive from the backline with Salem, Hunt and Hibberd.

Besides its not ideal for Sparrow to be sub 2 weeks in a row. We will know in two hours.

That about covers it DD and these are the same people who tell us they can run quarantine for over seas returnees. HA HA.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
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.

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?

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?
