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?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
