What’s worse? The umpires, our forwardline or our inability to play without May?

Doing an Amber in the bed when we get out to a 25-30 point lead.

    any chance of our fans turning up??

    Our supporters barely make any noise. Hasn't all year.


    For a team that prides itself on its contested ball we are doing a lot of ball watching. Bowey twice has watched a swans player claim a mark that was clearly touched yet no tackle laid. General lack of intensity and poor by hand.

    Great idea dropping the Weed, this is a joke.

    It's been relentless

    definitely feels like we are outnumbered here tonight

    Tackles 26 - 44

    Not enough pressure

    Missing May badly, not just in what he does, but in how the backline sets up. He's the anchor point, around which all the others play. Not helped by Salem being rusty and Thomlinson being reminded that it's a bit of a step up from the VFL.

    As for up the other end ... Van Royen can't develop quickly enough. 

    Our forward line and movement into forward 50m is really bad.

    Better off playing 16 men than the Brown Brothers thus far,


    Midfield not clean. Stepped up the pressure on Jackson and he hasn’t handled it well at all.  Salem looks out of it.

    This is really interesting now. We get to see if we are up for the fight.

    We are one of the worst pressure teams statistically this year which is a huge concern.

    Being outworked all over the ground, not sure if the Swans can maintain that sort of effort. geez we are struggling to organise without May back there

     


    Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

    They will. They finish strong. 

    The bye really couldn't come soon enough.

    So many of the teams we've played thus far have thrown absolutely everything at us. Almost every game has been a grind. We just look so tired.

    It's really quite concerning how we look though. Don't think we win tonight. Sydney look just as Freo did.

    Seriously I love how every team is suddenly made up of aerial superstars whenever they play us. Sydney hasn't looked this good all year.

    • 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.

      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?
