    The Sunday games are also underwhelming, 

    Sunday, June 13
    North Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney, Blundstone Arena, 3.20pm AEST

    Sunday, June 20
    Hawthorn v Essendon, MCG, 3.20pm AEST

    All stand alone games, although, Hawks v Bombs could be close, but full of errors.

    I guess it is lucky the round starts on Thursday.

    Are you keen to play on Thursday nights?

    Yes!!! A win on Thursday night means we can sit back for the weekend and watch all the ne’er-do-wells battle it out. ?

    Hawks actually got a Friday night game...interesting.

    Assuming the Thursday night games will go for 3 or 4 weeks and then typically disappear again.

    They usually play the TNF games over the bye rounds for some reason (ironically when there's fewer games on)

    Lol I’ve always wondered why they did that but with a full slate no Thus games.

    The best way to kick off a round, aside from seeing the Dees get a win, is seeing Duckwood swearing at the umpires, moments after Geelong have lost in the dying seconds of a close match.

    Round 15 v Essendon Saturday night at the G (their home game) another prime time game as well as obviously Queens Bday in round 13 (bye in round 14)

    Bombers off a 6 day break too.

    We are getting a good draw!

    Perhaps the AFL are kind of apologising for last years horrible draw for us.

    Still more draws to come and favourable could change to bad.

    That will make it 10 of 14 FTA for the club Gonzo ... fantastic exposure but we need to keep playing well.

    Entirely possible of course with a relatively low injury count and competition within the ranks (to keep all the players on their toes)

    Hate Thursday footy. So hard to get there in time from work. Massively late night by the time you get home. I’m too old for that [censored].

    very few have been in the prime time slot though Macca

    Saturday night is a shared time slot with an interstate game thus preventing national coverage and Sunday 3:20 is just ok

    Thursday and Friday nights are where the big boys play

    I reckon any FTA game is miles ahead of cable or streaming.  Especially those graveyard cable slots where only the very keen know which games are which

    Saturday night on FTA beamed into Melbourne is the guts of a TV audience and what the club would be looking for

    Rounds 11 & 12 are Friday night games and the following week we have the QB holiday Monday to ourselves.  So that's 3 weeks in a row to a total national audience. 

    We can't have every week like that

    Brighten up DJ ... good things are starting to happen.  Embrace!

    In fairness there aren't a lot of great options that week if you take out the QB. As ratings go it's probably the best of the worst options available.

    I think the reason is scheduling. If you play on Saturday then on the following Thursday that is a five-day break. So you can only really play on a Thursday after a bye or something like that. I think that is also often why we have a bye after QB.

    watching Eddie last night he was saying that the only thing holding Thursday night football back was the FTA channels commitment to existing programming. Suspect the same applies to Monday night football.

    Others on the panel said players didn't mind a 5 day break as long as it was limited to once or twice a season

    Tell that to Brisbane, playing in Melbourne on Saturday then have to back up with a Thursday night game against the Cats.

    AFL will use it as a bargaining chip at the next media rights agreement. Why give them TNF for free when you can make them pay for it?

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
