    Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form.

    Sydney are the team to beat. There is no doubt about it. Thank goodness grand finals are not played on that postage stamp ground. 
     

    Very important to finish top 2 or on the non Sydney side of the draw to avoid playing them at home.

    That’s a Sydney members only section. We sit in the pocket a few bays around from them. 

    Appreciate that, not sure how that’s fair though.

    Winning the center.

    Winning loose ball contested

    Winning more of the 1 v 1s

    Holding up across HB

    The Swans have a number of VG running mid types in size who are strong at the contest, over the ball and able to burst out of congestion

    Their entries inside are mostly either quick kicks / bombs to the square and/or looking to target a free player  near the hot zones after going wide via the flanks.

    If the ball hits the deck inside 50 they're super competitive here also and quick to pounce if it gets to the outside

    Gonna be very hard to beat if they hold form and not too many injuries

    WCW likely to have an answer. Probably the same reason that the Cats, prior to the new stand being built, had the away cheer squad on the flank. For some reason seats behind the goals are highly sought after. I reckon the GFC were told by the AFL they had to hand over one end (for TV purposes) when the new stand was built. 

    At Mordor we sat on the wing (next to the race, absolutely freezing) while construction of the new stand was underway. Now that it’s complete, the Geelong cheer squad sit behind the goals in the new stand and opposition cheer squads sit in their old bay.

    Geelong now Carlton getting flogged, great start to the weekend.

    We did beat them for 3 quarters, by 37 points, and they were absolutely perfect for the other.

    Bedford Jordan and Grundy, would love that depth, I think Jordan plays a more accountable game than Sparrow. Good luck to them all, not complaining just observing.

    very impressive from the Swans.

    always enjoyable watching Carlton get thumped

    Sydney haven’t had their captain(Mills) all season. He’s back in the coming weeks. Plus they are without their best defender tonight too. I had thought they were over rated, time to have a rethink.

    They are playing very good now. But so were GWS before they hit a wall. Look at Geelong 3 on the trot now. Can happen anytime. The only time you want to start to look invincible is 2 weeks from finals not now. 

    The only advantage for them is to manage the load of their players. So they are fresh going into finals.

    Carlton getting a solid reality check here

    We should have iced those dorks last wk 😔

    Looking back, aside from the tigers’ win against the swans, we have been the closest to them - with a 22 point loss - and we played like TRASH - and were in it at 3Q (2 points down) before they ran away with it in the conditions.

    Gives some comfort I guess. 

    Anyway, good to see the blues getting smoked. Just wish we did it!

    I know the set up coz I live 25km from the ground and a heap of my mates are Cats’ members. Whenever they’ve built a new stand they’ve relocated supporter groups, usually to a better spot.

    We could be 4 points and more than 20% clear of the blues by the end of the round.

    That’s the thing. They kicked every goal going forward in that first quarter.

    I know it’s a constant source of frustration here, but on expected score we won that game by 20+ points.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      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.

    • 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.
