GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs Richmond

July 30, 20232 yr

We're just handing goals to Richmond far too easily

July 30, 20232 yr

Bad fumble by Petty also

July 30, 20232 yr

We have gone back to the bombing forward.

July 30, 20232 yr

For a so called defensive team, they are overpaid butchers.

Helter skelter football isn't working.

Yeah he's been exposed unfortunately

Richmond at near 80% efficient F50. Dominating everywhere except there. Richmond playing out of their skins. Look like having a shot every single time.

What we get in Petty up forward we also lose in defence.

July 30, 20232 yr

Tigers defending the g the way they used to in their prime

July 30, 20232 yr

Max has totally gone missing. Makes a huge difference.

July 30, 20232 yr

We are playing a highly offensive game against a team ranked 1st for F50 efficiency. We need to lock this down.

July 30, 20232 yr

Richmond running faster than us so far

July 30, 20232 yr

Tommo needs to put this half behind him

Speed is king, creates scoring opportunites, teh real worry is the tigers conversion of F50s in to scores.

July 30, 20232 yr

Weak and flat. They are walking through us.

July 30, 20232 yr

The Zone is lazy today.

We're not working hard to get back and cover the spare that gets created when others push up.

It's why there is constantly a free man ahead of the ball for the tigers.

July 30, 20232 yr

Gees were looking average here

July 30, 20232 yr

How could no one stick a tackle then

Exactly. Unsure why Goody would want to this against Richmond but they are on of very few I wouldnt be trying this against.

Richmond dominating in all areas of the game unfortunately..

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.

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.

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.
