So many pundits are still very bullish on the Tigers and I just don't understand it.

These same pundits will be saying the Blues are strong Premiership contenders when the Blues have a big win tonight.  God help us.

I also don't get it.

The Tigers will need a time machine for Dusty, Reiwoldt and Cotchin if they are to win the flag.

    That time machine will need seats for Grimes, Lynch, Picket and maybe a few others...

    They want to copy Geelong and rest their ageing players but they won't get enough early wins to do that in the back half of the season.

    Nor do they have the luxury of having a home ground advantage so good they can bank 10 wins a season without breaking a sweat.

    I might be wrong, but I can't see where enough improvement will come from to win a flag.

    Tigers' backline will be stretched with Balta and Miller vs McKay and Curnow.  Maybe they hope Grimes or Vlastuin can go with Curnow.

    Due to forward lien injuries Saints will go all out defence.  Freo won many games last year because of their stingy defence rather than high scoring.

    This will be a battle of attrition of the defences!

    Saints could cause an upset

    New season, first game, same old colour-blind AFL officials.

    Richmond - yellow and black.  Umpires .... yep, yellow and black.  FFS!

    First 10 minutes of madness followed by really average footy. Lots of pressure, dropped marks. But great to have footy back.

    Wait, he missed anyway but the umpire didn’t bring back dusty in line with the mark???? So players can choose their own line of goal now?

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
