    Tigers have an easy run home. They could make finals. 

    Port in Adelaide, Hawks at the G and Essendon at the G. 

    Could lose all 3. They lost to Norf don’t forget

    Lions were 7 goals up weren’t they?

    Geelong like loss.  The Lions Blues game going to mean a lot next week.

    I've said it before but Brisbane's leadership and midfield is highly questionable. They go missing at really important points. Remind me of MFC circa 2002-2006. Really poor again.

    Agree.

    But their main issue is their woeful defence.

    Old school sysyem thst just doesn't cut it - as evidenced by how many big scores they've give up.

    Cost them this game as they simply couldn't stop the tiger's momentum

    From the AFL game day thread

    "Searching for their first win since Round 21, 2014 at the MCG, Brisbane gave up a 42-point lead and were overrun by the Tigers. This came about as Brisbane's ball movement was stifled by Richmond. In the first half, Brisbane turned 34 defensive chains into 16 forward 50 entries and 6.3 (39); in the second half, 30 chains only yielded seven entries and three behinds."

    Brisbane did a Melbourne.

    Welcome to the Dangerzone, Lions.

    Serious question- have we been 42pts down and lost this year? I don’t think so but wondering if you or anyone knows

    Random thought….

    Blues don’t make the 8 (even if they win tonight).

    Lions @ Gabba 

    Dees @ MCG

    Pies @ MCG 

    Tigers to win next 3.

    Blues making the 8 comes down to them beating the Pies rd 23.

    Massive choke from the Lions. They lost it more than the Tigers win it. Lions won contested footy, clearances, inside 50s etc. just what the bed when the pressure came

    Agreed. Zorko is the worst captain in the league and yes I am including Heppell in that. He is a hot head and thinks of himself. Argues with the umps and has personal grudge matches a lot. 

    the Sooner McCluggage is made captain the better for them

    Oops. I could not pick a winner to save my life this year. That is why I don't bet on Melbourne games.

    Another bonus out of that game is St Kilda. They have  to win next week now, most likely they wont but its now their Grand Final.

    Brisbane's chance to win a flag was the only year in history when the finals were/will be played in QLD. Not sure where they go from here. Back to QLD, I guess.

    They can’t win, neither can Flagmantle. It’s out of the current top 4.

    Rippa great result for Dees beat Pies where locked in top two

    Wouldn't count on this - Sydney have North, Collingwood (at the SCG where they are 8-2) and St Kilda to come. Very good chance they make up the 4 points and 5% between us even if we go 2-1 from here.

    So basically if we beat the Pies and Carlton we will finish 2nd?

    I hate seeing Richmond win but it helps us

    For now.

    Keep winning and it could be us against the Swans at the G.

    Lose one and it could be Swans at the SCG.

    If that was the case, I think I would prefer to finish 4th and play the Cats at the G.

    Haven't worked out all the scenarios needed for various results yet, I am sure others on DL will.

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.
