    Geez, I reckon you're selling it a bit hard when your team is clearly out of form and your captain is coming out with:

    “The expected score, which Champion Data does, had us in front by the end of the game"...

    We were in front in a bunch of stats but the key ones

    Scoreboard

    Scores we allowed from D50 stoppages 

    Goal kicking accuracy

    Gawn is clutching at straws though. Listening to too many of Simon's press conferences

    BTW G Lyon and J Brown both said that the D50 stoppages are one of the easiest things to fix so lets hope they fix it pronto.

    You're forgetting the stat that lost us the game... 

    11-25

    I never understand when you lose games to  lowly teams then lose to a grand finalist that things are ok!  They are clearly not or we would have won.

    Maybe not, but you hardy expect him to say we have to do a major overhaul at this point in the season.  In any case, that would be a stupid policy.  We have to tweak some things and hope for some things to click and we get back to the form that saw us beat every good team.  Currently that seems unlikely, but I can't see much point in doing anything else right now.

    Rubbish the majority were free kicks to the dogs. Blaming the umpires is a poor excuse. The umpire was not kicking for goal. The simple  fact is the Dogs played better and  they have match winners on the day, we did  not. Remember that old one. When the going gets tough the tough get going.

    Well it looks very much like another year to wait for a flag if nothing changes.

    There's being positive and then there's gaslighting

    How about being honest.

    Could be, but how many of us expected a flag at the start of the season?     Seems to me that expectations rose high due to being unexpectedly near the top of the ladder for so long and that has unreasonably increased the negativity some feel now. 

    Let's hope that whatever happens from now is either a surprise return to form and a flag, or failing that, that we have something solid to build on for next year.

    Agree 100% I kept thinking in May that over the years I had seen a lot of May Premiers who did not even make the GF a few months later. After that start if we don't make the GF a few things will be different in 2022.

    You. Have. To. Be. Kidding

    I can barely remember a game umpired so poorly and so inconsistently. And i remember a lot of games where the umpiring has been woeful.

    It was 11-4 at half time.

    Our fourth free kick happened on our half back line with 5 seconds to go. So it was essentially 11-3. 

    And as always, it was the frees missed that were significant than the ones given.

    Sure we lost the game, and that's on us, but there is absolutely no question a big factor in their 21 point lead at half time was the rubbish umpiring. 

    Simply not good enough.

    • 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?
