That's what I thought last year.

They can't sack Buckley again though!

    From memory, and this might be wrong, Pert simply asked the AFL if we could have a home game vs the Dogs in Round 1 to unfurl the flag (e.g. see here).

    I'm not sure we asked for it to be a Wednesday night, and indeed I reckon if we'd been given the choice we'd have asked for a Friday night.

    As to Gil, he will do what Channel 7 want him to do, because the AFL needs Channel 7's money. 7 want more night games, so 7 will continue to get more night games. 

    Seems pretty clear from the article that we backed the Wednesday game so as to be the first game

    Absolutely they did.

    Again, not sure if you're backing up your argument all that well. I've highlighted your this part in particular. 

    2013 -  they won by 15 points against Freo who never looked like winning on the day. The first half Fremantle kicked a total of 1.6 which was horrible display on the big stage.

    2014 - Hawthorn smashed Sydney by 74 points. Folded like a beach chair as you say.

    2015 - flogged West Coast by 46 points. Game was pretty much over in the first quarter after Hawthorn kicked 5 goals straight to West Coast 1.3. At 3 quarter time Hawthorn were in front by 50 points. West Coast absolutely folded and were cooked 25 minutes into the first quarter.

    Realistically how is this any different to Richmond?

    Adelaide and GW$ didn’t even bother to turn up. They were far worse than the Whorethorn games, particularly GW$

     

    Geelong moving the ball much quicker than last year

    I can never Support anything Jeelong either 

    This has the look of a 100 point shellacking. Men and against boys so far

    Hawkins could kick ten today. Essendon struggling to account for his size and strength.

    Soz, Forgot who I was talking to 😁

    What an awful quarter of football.

    Disgusting to watch.

    Game over already. 

    how do the Cats do it every year? They are missing 5 from their 22 too

    Well we will just need to smash them in a prelim again I guess.

    Good start by the cats

    Too bad they can't play Essendon in finals.

    Wednesday night was fantastic, i'm not complaining but it would have been great if we were playing our game in the 2pm slot today. A beautiful Saturday afternoon at the G to unfurl the flag, bring the kids, perfect conditions for footy and enjoy a few beers while watching. And i'm sure we would have got even more Dees fans along.

    Grand final replay was the only way Gil could justify a Wednesday Night game. It was all about & and Foxtel. 

    Essendon too many vanilla players

    What lol

    Adelaide were 2 goals up at quarter time and only 2 goals down at at half time. They were absolutely right in the game going into the 3rd quarter. 

    The GWS game is absolutely no different to the Hawthorn's 2014 gran final. Both games were were over at quarter time.

    All Hawthorn's grand finals the opposition were pretty much done in the first quarter.

    • 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.

      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.

    • 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?
