Assuming we know if that last game is a dead rubber, is there anything in the rules that would stop us playing all four emergencies and simply resting Gawn, May, Viney for example. 

Well, you push the envelope but don't cross the line

Lyon has twice rested 8 or 9 players on the eve of finals.  Brad Scott did the same

To me, it's not about resting players, more so avoiding any more injuries

As it stands, Fritsch is still out and we've run out of tall forwards who can impact games (good luck Smithy!)

    Players are routinely 'managed' throughout the season.  No rule apart from bring the game into disrepute maybe. 

    Play Casey (plus bailey for a run) in Sydney I say and give the finger to AFL HQ.

    I have read lots of posts from Pies supporters on Twitter and they seem to be OK with dropping the minor premiership.

    They don't fancy playing us at the G' and rather would play Port at the G'.

    Colliwobbles 😁😁😁

    I’ve read that too but winning from 1 from your last 5 isn’t a great form line heading into finals.

    No team has done that and went on to win the flag. It’s absolutely not what McRae was wanting. I do not care what anyone says, no coach wants their team struggling in August. 
    Doubt starts creeping in and suddenly you aren’t the scary proposition everyone thought you were. Pies in particular, have lost their greatest advantage in the last month. Teams no longer fear them. They no longer worry about getting overrun from any position. They’ve shed their cloak of invincibility. Which leaves them as just another good side in contention.

    Gold Coast will need to play on at every opportunity to even have a chance today. Can't compete defensively with Carlton.

    Flanders has 9 touches in 6 minutes

    I Put a fair bit on GC. Carlton are the biggest confidence team in the league. when their run stops, they fall off a cliff. can’t play on emotion for too long

    I’m worried about how flat Carlton are. Last week was a very hard game. I hope we don’t come out this flat.

    This looks more about preparation. They shouldn’t be flat in the first quarter. I also think the Suns match up really well in the midfield.

    Hopefully they are just flat because they made finals for the first time in a million years and have relaxed now the monkey is off their back.

    This week and next I'll be barracking for whatever combination of results see Carlton tipped out of the 8.

    Suns are coming. They have a great midfield, a good VFL side, and are about to get handed the best academy picks ever. Hardwick knew what he was doing.

    • 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.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • 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?
