    He'll be back!

    Don't mind Jake in the side today. He'll offer more than Brown if the heavens open.

    Just offers a bit more flexibility. Happy with it too.

    Walking around the mean streets of Adelaide I feel like I’ve seen a lot more Essendon paraphernalia wearing people than Dees.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    Are there any players you’d like us to be irrationally critical of?  This is the DL Gameday thread after all, where pretty much compulsory for all posters.

    If BBB is training, hard to see him playing IMO

    Well called.


    Bowser having shots on goal from the pocket during the warmup, and nailing them.  Interesting!

    I’d prefer it the other way round myself.

    I'd love to see how he would go as HFF/small forward

    It’s JJ’s 50th and 31 year old Melksham in probably his last year, has hardly played any decent footy this season and he is preferred to JJ.

    Wow!

    Are we determined to p-ss this kid off and drive him away in his FA year? Apparently so.

    Hope Goody has had a chat with JJ to explain the rationale of the selection.

    Well I suppose Melk can have a great game and justify it, but initially it seems hard on JJ, on a small milestone game.

    Essendon haven't beaten us in Adelaide for over 150 years.  We've got this.

    Ugh.  A spot opens up and we go with Melksham over JJ, relegating Jordon to sub on his 50th game.  JJ averages 14.5 disposals this year; Melksham 3.7.  <grumpy>

    I'm guessing the rationale is replacing a forward with another forward rather than a mid.

    It is positional and role.

    Melksham plays an undersized key forward in our system. Jordon is a midfielder.

    I think we should be rotating the sub role but that’s a separate issue.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
