Bowser looks great and Dogga with 4 goals is turning it on.

 

What a difference kicking straight for goal makes!

    Good job everyone! except Viney you can rot in the 2's forever and Harmes you can do the same if you cant kick easy goals. 


    I’d like to see Koz get around it more. He just needs to get that spring back in his step. When he’s feeling dangerous opposition clubs get so nervous, and it’s great to watch.

    That's harsh on Tyson. Don't think that even he got caught that often.

    I do like Viney but he's just trying to do the impossible too often.

    You’re joking right?

    He always got caught holding the ball, always.

    FMD Garry Lyon is a miserable campaigner. Was a great player for us but not convinced at all he's still invested in the club. 

     


    The key to is and always will be tackling pressure.

    Can’t fault much, but Harmes and Viney kill me. 

    Neither has learnt to take the first option and Harmes can’t hit a single target. 

    Really want to see them lift their game, as they should be copping a bake from Goodwin. 

    Loving the forward pressure. Brown’s looked really good and that helps TMac, Fritsch and Jackson get free and hit the scoreboard. Oliver incredible and Lever, Petty and May solid.

    A week is a long time in footy huh. The confidence we’ll be getting from this is very important

    For me I think this is Viney trying to find form. He has been injured and not in the team also trying to find match fitness. What a good opportunity to try and find some of that touch. He is getting the ball and once that confidence comes back he will be the bull he was again!

    Feel quite bad for Viney. He seems so out of place in this team. Doesn't seem to be "one of the boys" and tries to do too much.

    Also getting FAR better looks at goal, looking more shallow and straight as opposed to deep in the pocket.

    Hes an absolute mess of a player.

    Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

    The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

    Absolutely spot on comments as usual Dazzle

    I’m not satisfied, half to go and there were bad habits creeping in at the end of the quarter. We have a big opportunity to get some good form today and get some huge confidence. That will all be undone with a mediocre/poor second half.

    Yep spot on. BB50 leading straight rather than 45 degree angles into the pockets....who'd have thought!?

    I'm not denying that but my point was that I didn't see him get caught at the same rate that Viney is today.

    Anyway, Tyson's been out of the team for three years, so let's get back on topic.

    Jones would actually be better than Viney at this point. Smarter with the ball and seems to be more adaptable.

    Magnificent second quarter. That being said, confidence can be a double edged sword.

    Dare and dash are required to open teams up. We have shown plenty of that. It’s manic, relentless and inventive.

    It can also lead teams to unwise and presumptuous disposal. The Fritsch and BBB forward entries are case in point. BBB was right to be dirty on the former for torching him, and then proceeded to lose all moral high ground with that unrealistic shot.

    Dogga is having a day out. The opposition isn’t overly organized, but you can only play against the opponent presented to you. He’s also fixed his kicking from beyond 35 out, which is a credit to him.

    Bowey is a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t big on blooding more newbies leading into September, but he’s shown poise beyond his years.

    Clarry may need to be the medical subbed off alas. He’ll be suffering from leather poisoning. ?

    From now on all Melbourne players have to spend 8 hrs on a plane before each game..

    I can kind of see his point about is it good to be playing in a game like this. I mean today looks cruisy but next week we will come up against the Eagles & it will be a completely different game

    Should see if Geelong are still keen on Viney. Worth asking the question

    • 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?
