That peanut Jon Anderson starting a rumour on 3AW this morning that Clarrie won't play🤬

usually rumours like this  don’t come from nowhere. The benefit might be that it’s really then a 3 week break for him to the tigers game.

    Gee the peanut gallery will be in overdrive if Oliver is a late out.

    this is true, but goodwin doesn't play funny buggers - in the presser yesterday he was asked directly about claz and said "he'll play"

    If Clarry is out, I don't mind. He needs to get his hand right. He is too important for the rest of the season.

     

    I'd like to see Petty play a somewhat defensive role on Harris Andrews. Keep him out of it and  Brisbane are in real trouble.

    Why have Brisbane started badly?

    any key outs for them?

    One of the biggest threats for tonight will be Bailey, IMO. He always seems to bob-up against us. 

     

    Agree. 

    I'd also add that we have also struggled their other excellent medium half forwards/mids/utilises  in particular mcluggage and McCarty. 

    Defensively it's been our Achilles heel for years.

    Part of the issue against the lions is we have to send one of our best mid sized defenders to Cameron - and basically play him man on man (ie not much zoning off).

    But it's also a personnel issue.

    Nev was brilliant as a small/medium defender in 2018, just about the best. But since then we've struggled in that space.

    The juddster was brilliant last year  and has become our go to player for the opposition's best medium forward.

    But the lions have four excellent medium forwards to cover.

    I think Howes was brought in to strengthen our ability to cover such players  and thus far had been terrific at doing so. He'sslotted in down back like a 200 gamer and gives us so much more flexibility. 

    So, I'm more confident than I have been for ages that we have the tools to cover the lions' dangerous medium forwards.

    Look there’s only one thing I know for sure, Koltin Tholstrup will be kicking 3 goals tonight.

    Bookmark it, rack it, set your watch to it, circle your calendars around it and set your VCRs to it.

    Sadly it appears Salem may of passed his best. Injuries and other issues may of caught up with him. Personally I'm holding judgement until writing him off as he's a one of our smartest footballer's. We can probably adapt his role to make him more than useful into the future.

    VCR's! Are they still a thing?

    anderson on 3aw predicting oliver will be a withdrawal

    hope he's wrong


    Please everyone who is going can they barrack as twice as loud, because I am unable to go because my back is putting great pressure on my groin, which is causing a lot of pain, and making it hard to walk. I am using a walker to walk, and taking pain killers. I am seeing a physio who is very happy with progress. Too hard to go with walker, and I doing exercises and plenty of walking to get better. This is the first Melbourne game I have missed at the Mcg for many years.

    In his last 2 games Lachie Neale has sat out the match with a massive bag of ice on his ankle.

    Having said that he got 35 and 27 possessions in those games.

    eh?

    he's been very good so far this year

    once he moves back into midfield rotation - likely after bowey is back - he'll win a lot more footy

    don't look at his fantasy / supercoach scores for his effect on team, and team balance

    • 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.

      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?
