Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back. 

Yep, we are really missing reasonable rebound and eyes-up midfielders.

I thought Tomlinson was worse than Hunt last week.

Bring in Disco we need some good news.

    The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height. 

    That was when he was recruited.  Anyone stood next to him at VFL huddles to asses??

    Bayley is not going to play CHF , expect Petty to start there . Turner will be FB and Mitch or Ben will start on the bench . Dees to win by 56 pts.

    So you reckon Lever and Turner as our only key defenders, and then Petty, Brown and Brown, with Jackson to rotate, all playing forward? Nah.

    Tommo at #localfooty today looked like he'd been dropped...

    I think it's a mistake

    He was well into best 22 before the injury  and we should be backing him in

    Hope he's Sub because he's our best swingman option without Tmac

    Blokes of the quality of Tommo and Hunt getting dropped shows that our depth is still good

    would be fantastic if Turner develops quickly as we need another tall option back as Smith is constantly injured

    Great selections the outs aren’t AFL standard confident we will win now

    20 of last years Grand Final 23 are playing.  Missing Rivers, TMac and May.  That's a very strong side.

    I think everyone knows what it says about Sam - Goodwin said in his presser he has been told he needs to improve (my words significantly) on certain things - my guess is 

    - not being easily pushed off the ball

    - bringing the ball to ground and stopping his opponent marking

    - compete with some aggression when not in possession 

    - heaven forbid kick a few goals 

    - run hard to create space and an option for players up the field 

    there may be more I don’t know but whatever it is he’s not close to a recall based on what I’m hearing unless he starts playing with a bit more physicality

    I'm not so sure re Petty at CHF CoolX.  If my memory serves me correct, going on what Goody hinted in yesterday's pressor, BBB & Mitch more than likely the  starters up forward.

    Not saying we won't swing Petty up forward at some stage but if we're playing 'the Demon way' i doubt it.  If he goes forward it's probably going to be in hope if the two talls (announced in starting line up) fail to fire.

    This is all absolutely correct and just about applies in equal measure to Jackson.

     

    We are still paying only $3 to win the flag!

    gees thought I might get some value this week!

    Two pretty major key spine (book end)  players though Swooper and don't really have genuine replacements for either.

    However, if Turner slots in tomorrow he might cover off Maysie's role.  Who knows he might even play a ripper.

    Then fingers crossed at least one of Mitch, BBB or Dogga can fire up in F50 to give us something.  Surely one of them can get going.  Third time lucky!?

    • 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?
