Edit: that said, no doubt there’ll be more COVID during the week. Happy for any of the above “outs” to go around again depending on who’s out. I thought they all contributed really well.

    Depends on who has recovered in time to do some training.

    I would drop TMc for selfishness. Pinched Harmes goal and burnt a bunch of players in good positions to chance a long range goal.  Missed.

    I’ll give him benefit of the doubt on the mark: I thought it was just him losing track of his own location and needing to make a split second decision with the ball about to land on him. It was definitely clumsy and didn’t look good but I don’t think it was an intentional goal steal.

    I agree the long range shot was poor though.

    Bedford would be very stiff to miss out but probably will

    I’d keep him in tbh. 2 clutch goals needs to be rewarded. Kozzy hasn’t had a great year so make him work harder to earn his spot back.

    I'd have Spargo out before Bedford based on today's game

    Not a  knock on Sprago, but Bedford looks good. Has speed and skill

    Bedford + Kozzi hunting in the forward line?   I like it!

    The great unknown. Hopefully all 5 are ok and it was a mild case.

    Bedford will be unlucky to lose his spot but Kossie is more important. Milkshake Dunstan and Chandler will drop back down Smith looks injured and I guess one of Tmac or Weid. Of course we might have more cases during the week.

    I'd keep Bedford to start. Petty is coming back for Smith obviously with his injury. Neal Bullen for Melksham & LJ back for someone. 

    The advantage is McDonald can go back when we need him to. Like in the final quarter where he did ok.

    outs. Spargo Dunstan Smith Melksham Weideman 

    ins. The Covid 5.  Sparrow Anb Petty Jackson Pickett 

    Bedford stays in.  Offers more than Spargo based on todays game.  Bedford and Pickett would be a dangerous combo imv and should be given a few games together.

    feel sorry for Bedford though.

    Well we will have one forced change at least with Smith. Let’s hope Petty is right to go. 
     

    In: Petty, ANB, Jackson, Sparrow 

    Out: Smith, Dunstan, Tmac, Melksham

    Really torn on Bedford. He played so well. Hard to drop him for Kosi but hard to leave Kosi out.

    Weid v T Mc remains a ???

    Hard to judge today because Sam rucked a fair bit and Tom went down back late.

    Still think if Tom can play just ok footy he’s the right choice because we’re just so top heavy with Weid and Brown.

    my reasoning was that dribble goal Sw missed, Tmac would have nailed it,

    Who chooses Weid over McDonald tonight? Really. McDonald is more aggressive and smart and competes in the air.  Weid hasn’t taken his chances and hasn’t taken a contested mark in weeks.
    Jackson back in and Weid out.  Just my opinion.

    As weird as this sounds the COVID protocols could be a blessing in disguise as it gives players rest which will come in handy come finals time.

    Tmac has more strings to his bow than Weed.

    Weed took a good mark tonight and kicked a goal but doesn't do to much else unfortunately.

    • 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?

      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.

      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.

      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?
