Heard it on 3aw Rex Hunt reckons we dont have the cattle and we will not win with Neita or Robbo out .

He said that the cats will win by 28 points and maybe more if they get on a roll.

What do you think i reckon we do have good players but the mind set of the players is a worry at times ( like now ) .

    Dear Old Rex...

    It is not overly hard to tip against the Dees this week:

    1. Lost the first 2 games with no heart

    2. Lost key personnel

    3. Up against a side that won by a bucketload last week.

    On paper (and according to this site) we dont have the cattle. Or the guts. or anything else.

    But I still tipped the Demons (and I thought Rex was the dribbling idiot!)

    The cats have tom hawkins and selwood added to a great list. It is important to note that 90% of this list were beaten by minnows and short handed teams in 06. They missed the 8 at finals when they had the right cattle on the paddock.

    When geelong are playing, nothing is certain.

    The dees are an outside chance.

    rex is a smart guy. if i were a betting man i would place a $50 on geel by 50 points as i recon we will get flogged. remember 'go with your head not your heart"

    This is the sort of game that we occasionally win - down on form, missing many key players, absolutely no expectations, all the tipsters against them: perfect conditions for a mentally soft team to shine.

  • Quote

    unfortunately unlike some past occasions when we've faced enemies depleted.. we now have the handicap of our top two goal kickers missing physically...and half the rest just missing in action..

    that my fellow Dees is a sad reality.

  • Quote

    Agreed BB, but they played with the expectation that they'd do well. So even with our top goalkickers missing the rest may play as if they have nothing to lose - and when that happens ...

    Good call Yze Magic, now if we do get up today I can say that we beat a side that are [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached.

    But if we lose we got beaten by a side that is [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached.

    Somehow I don't think we can call anyside [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached at the moment.

    Big call to rule out a team in what's a 'two-horse race', but it's hard to argue.

    That's not to say I agree with him, but I understand where he's coming from.

    When Melbourne have their back to the wall they normally surprise the pants off everyone, it'll be no different today, Melbourne by 22 points.

  • Quote

    The fact that Freo is 0-3, when everyone has them in the top 4, just goes to show you that we are not the only unstable, unpredictable, prone-to-dropping-our-bundle, side in the competition.

    The difference is, Freo has a great home ground advantage, and no key injuries.

    At least they'll take some heat off us.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      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?
