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!

    Jack S. in his 100th. His Nona was there for her husband’s 100th and her son’s 100th and she’s there now. 💕

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
