But but but we didn’t play 4 quarters of footy 🙄

Good hit out and nobody died.

Loved what McVee served up

    We saw a response. 

    Good sign, no doubt it would have been addressed during that third quarter. 

    No injuries positive. Mcvee looks great. Hunter going to change us. Grundy will work into it.

    Trac looks like he has a noticeable limp. @Demonland

    I have always thought so. I think it is just the way he walks.

    Solid game first up. 
    McVee impressive and Grundy will get better, that was his first competitive match for a while. Petty is still very good one on one back there.

    Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Saints needing to find a way past Tom Petty as the spare man down back.

    Hunter prolific

    McVee classy and clean

    Rivers busy - like the midfield move 

    Bowey excellent marking/bodywork for a player of his size

    Grundy a bit underwhelming

    Gawn floating back freeing up Lever is 2021 vibes. Don't have to have perfect forward connection when the other team can't score.

     

    Nice to see the short option at lockout too

    My boy Hunter played well. Loved his disposal.

    I liked Chandlers game as well

    good workout overall

    And I'm not holding out much hope of the Saints surprising Freo in Wk 1. Looks like a long season ahead for them.

    Huuter coped a hit to his leg, late in that last quarter. 

    Lever walked onto the ground at the end, minus a boot.

    I liked Rivers game, was even organising the backline structure, and often first to support/encourage his mates.

    Mcvee looks at home.

    Given the size of his upper body, not really surprising. Then again his quads will also be tough to lug around, just massive thighs of striated meat.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes in
    - mcvee replaces salem as small defender
    - chandler required in 23 as pickett given more room to roam
    - grawndy still a work in progress
    - hunter will be a weapon as a second wingman
    - rivers ahead of sparrow and jj as next rotation mid

    Wasn't huge on Grundy today. Thought most of his taps went to the opposition and his disposal was simply meh.

    Still thrilled we got him, hopefully he works into some form before the start of the season.

    Phillipou said he was the best player in the draft and he might be right.  Brad Hill got plenty of it with some good run. Both good dreamteam options. Wilkie was decent. The only bright spots for the Saints, it's going to be a long season for them.

    We aren’t going to play 8 defenders unless one of them dominates this game so Riv will just be a rotation. Sparrow will continue playing good minutes, he was better than people think

    Think a 10 goal win is what most of us would have hoped/expected. 
     

    Trac break tackles with ease, Hunter showing what a draft steal that was, Rivers and Kozzy getting decent midfield time and McVee’s cool defending were some of the highlights for me.

    McVee was great looks to be another great Taylor pick up.

    bowey 1 on 1 was improved significantly 

    hunter a draft steal 

    Grundy and Gawn still combined for 3 goals let’s be honest if that’s a weekly occurrence then that will work brilliantly

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    • 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.
