My god our backline is struggling today

Talk to the mids. Too easy for them.

A better quarter from us, out worked them and levelled up the uncontested ball. Playing helter skelter footy was playing into their hands, looking at more composed and making the Tigers do a bit more running without the ball. They also look like they are starting to tire as they were missing the mark with basic skills that they were hitting with ease in the first half.

Anyone's game, hope we can kick a few early, got vibes from Geelong a few weeks ago so need to start the quarter very well.

Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous.

Not if he doesn't get his hands on it

Tiges fans are absolute nuffies

Tigers started going down the line rather than running the ball through the mid, maybe a result of tiring

Got that on our terms. Tiges will keep coming. If we are serious in 23 then we need to impose ourselves right now.

If someone told me Petty had four... Melksham and Jvr three at three quarters...I'd have bet the farm.

They are punching it and kicking off the ground to get it forward, where they can run onto it.

We should be doing the same as fast entry will win it.

Would have been nice

Why the hell is Van Rooyen starting on the bench

Come on...first goal.

I beseech thee.

Must take these chances

July 30, 20232 yr

Like the approach. Forward 50 time is what we want.

July 30, 20232 yr

Dragged it in

July 30, 20232 yr

We are still at least one marketing target short in the forward line.

Richmond’s defenders have had way too many marks.

July 30, 20232 yr

Neal Bullen butchering it again

July 30, 20232 yr

Good umpiring.

July 30, 20232 yr

Needed to take our chance

Neal Bullen???

10 inside 50s for 0 points. One inside 50 for a goal. It’s so frustrating

Yeah I hate that

We had some chances to score first. Damn.

July 30, 20232 yr

First blood to Richmond. Really needed that first one

The justification for Nibbler in the team is getting harder to swallow.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
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.

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?

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.

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?
