St Kilda heard of this concept called defense?

Yes, they were schooled in it only a week ago. But all the cool teams are into all out attack. Power teams like C'wood, Ess, Hawks, Blues.

    The AFL website studiously avoids mention of the crowd size. Maybe their calculators don't go down that low. (They're mostly used for counting exec bonuses.)

    I never believed the St Kilda hype.

    The commentators seem very determined to maintain it though. “St Kilda right in this!” “St Kilda a very good team!” Etc. St Kilda have been putrid so far, no defensive structure and so fumbly and rushed moving forward!

    St Kilda just bomb it into the forward line, now who does that remind you of?

    The competition can’t sustain any more teams, so for many having 19 or 20 teams creates new problems. Any relocation / new team will obviously be a long term venture. It may not get seasoned fans to jump straight on board straight away but some will. Over the years kids will grow up knowing nothing else but supporting them and the fan base will grow. I personally think one issue Tasmania faces should they get a team is player retention, as picturesque and beautiful as it is I don’t think it will hold the appeal for everyone (and yes I’ve lived there for several years).

    But as you say you’ll support it as a second team and that’s half the problem. 
    Everyone in Tassie already has a team. Would you drop Melbourne to barrack for the Tassie side? No you wouldn’t.

    Do you know many others who would?

    Eventually you’ll have kids barracking for them organically but it’ll take years and success to make it happen. 

    I’m not actually advocating for a Tassie team. I don’t have any need for one, as like I said, I have a team, and so do most others. Just saying that if “we” did get one, I wouldn’t want it to be Norf.

    It’d be a bit weird as a mascot though given Tasmania has very few Kangaroos. The only Kangaroo indigenous to Tassieis the Forester Kangaroo and there are sadly very few of these left. Of all the states to have a team called ‘Kangaroos’ Tassie would be the silliest pick.

    Norf are a beggar bowl club. Will go anywhere for some $$$$. $10 could buy you 2 reserved seats for the game.

    On the goal cameras, they are good but when it suits look like VGA quality.

    Kolodjashnij having a great game today.  Knocks out Jack Higgins (subbed out with concussion) then follows up his good work slamming captain Steele in to the Marvel concrete damaging his ACL.  Makes up for him missing targets.

    Saints look ordinary, don’t they?  Meggs was surprised they got so much media praise last week for their 38 point loss to us.

    Nobody in Victoria thinks anyone wants Norf, don’t worry.

    But the second half Meggs? Media thought they were awesome. We were in neutral for most of it.

    Geelong need to get out of neutral cos the media might be onto something 😎

    The Aints have gone bezerk 

    Kicked 7 goals that quarter. In the corresponding quarter last week agains Melbourne, they also tried to make their move and wound up scoring 2 goals to 1.

    Pretty solid effort from the boys in that context.

    This time tomorrow we are likely to be 5 games and 50% clear inside the 8. After nine rounds.

    It ain’t about making the 8. 

    With Lions and Freo up and about, top 2 is what matters

    Just an observation DD. I'm well aware we have far bigger fish to fry.

    This is terrible I know, but every time Tom Hawkins is in a marking contest, I silently hope for an injury.

    • 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.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      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?
