wet weather...

Im just wondering if others would concur that it might be prudent to bring in Sylvia and/or Petterd given the track might be heavy and not suit the taller timber ?

PJ would be an obvious candidate for exchange... brings into question Dunn...yes yes..love to see him back but is this the right day ? Or do you retain Dunn and leave out Russian.. ?

just questions !! :-)

PJ doesnt rely on his marking and is good at ground level, so you would say he is a good big man to have in the wet.

I would leave out the Russian if anyone, I just dont think he offers enough around the ground and if it was wet, it would be reduced even further.

Sandilands just poses to be a real problem...

Sandilands just poses to be a real problem...

Agreed. I think its better to throw in sylvia or pettard - an in and under player. Sandi will be an issue certainly and i think both white and johnson will be a better combo than Jamar (who can play against less vital or game winning ruckman). I think its inevitable that we will be able to stop sandilands...except if pickett lines him up so i think its important to have our centre square players make sure that there are no freo players in space (a corrodor) who will run on from the tap.

I think we are a real chance in the wet. Not only because of the weather not suiting freos game style but also the fact that we should be able to get plenty of players around the contests.

Im very excited and going tomorrow due to feeling we actually have more of a chance than i thought we might. But to win, davey MUST have a good game. We need smaller players crumming the ball as it will be difficult to mark the ball. I would even open up the 50 with just Dunn, Davey, Green there with Miller playing in the backline. Might even throw C.Johnson into the 50, get the ball to the ground and use the speed on the slower, taller freo players.

Good luck dees

 

If it stays wet speed and height won't be that important. Clean hands will.

I would leave PJ in; and probably even Jamar, as he will be our best bet against Sandilands whatever happens.

Sylvia, Petterd and Bizzell have all shown clean hands so far this year; and they have the added bonus of being able to find space and keep a cool head.

Go Dees

Dont think CJ is even in the 22 but i agree with bringing in Pettard for Jamar... no need for white pj and Jamar today

my bad. thought cj was in the team

  • 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.

  • 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?
