Does anyone else get a Michael Long circa 2000 vibe about Marlion Pickett?

Yes constantly sniping, noticed it for a while now.

    Three best teams to date are Dees, Doggies and Lions. Beneath them are Port, Cats and Eagles. But we can't write off the Tiges yet. If you want to understand how much a good midfield counts for, look at our centre clearance numbers decrease since Viney has been out. Cotchin, Prestia and Bolton seriously changes their midfield power. And their leaders and elders often step up to drag them across the line. They are failing, but don't write them off yet. 

    Having said that, Dusty has lost a metre or so of his pace, Hibbo showed how to play him, and now Fagan and co have worked out how to tackle him. Harmes did the same thing. Riewoldt can really turn it on in key moments but rarely plays a full decent game. And most teams who have the right personnel play the Tiges defenders one-on-one and they get showed up. Their team defence is great, but they are not great one-one-one. Notice how Vlastuin and Grimes got exposed by forwards who can really mark the footy.

    I like Mathieson better now for getting under Richmonds skin the way he did.

    Oh no a 2 hour flight. Toughen up princess, the game in Alice is brilliant 

    Its not so much the flight. In fact its not that at all.

    I think the games great for Nt but I think we we would be more a chance winning playing at the G.

    The club has been making noise about turning the Mcg into a place where clubs are fearful to play against us.

    So its incongruent to play a G game interstate. 

    We only get 12 games at the Mcg. The more the better.

    What is going on with holding the ball and push in the back? Not the slightest correction from the horror of the last 2 weeks with umpires simply not paying blatant free kicks. I LOATHE Carlton but the umpiring looks biased against them.

    And Hawthorn are rubbish.

    It’s amazing how far Hawthorn have fallen. Well actually not it’s not amazing at all, it was highly predictable.

    we wouldn't get the game at the g tho; it'd be at the docklands, and cost us $2-300k to host there rather than make $500k having it in the alice

    plus we've really developed a fantastic community outreach program up there with the santa teresa ground redevelopment and the engagement and connections we have developed

    i'm more than happy to stay hosting a high profile game with guaranteed free to air coverage in the alice instead of hosting a game at docklands

    Agree with all this.

    The other thing i would add is that the aura of invincibility is slipping. teams will now have belief playing the Tiges whereas before they were defeated before the ball was bounced. Psychologically that makes a big difference.

    Geez Carlton and Hawthorn are both putrid.

    Third quarter was awful Gonz. That Hawthorn forward playing on in the goal square and getting pinged swung the momentum big time.

    Gold Coast choked big time. Should have been 3-4 goals up but kept missing

    Dogs are up by 77 at 3 quarter time.     This is what we should have done to the Crows today.  I am [censored] off

    Dogs also lost to the Tigers after being 4 goals up and narrowly beat the blues - want to take those results too?!

    Gee the dogs are doing a number on the saints like they did to the roos on good friday. 36 scoring shots to 6. May is going to need to lift big time & I fear for petty.

    I do fear a little for next week.

    The Bont is just a freak

    Dogs are ruthless and hungry. Just want to be THE BEST. 

    3-Bont 2-Macrae 1- Dale. 
    BONT clearly the best in the league.  Oliver v Bont will be amazing.   Trac could be our midfielder to kick 3-4 goals a week but doesn’t seem to have the absolute hunger   

    it’s their pace that will worry us, kicking efficiency and run for 2nd and 3rd efforts 

    WE MUST WIN THE CLEARANCES

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • 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.
