    The heart always says I want Collingwood to lose but what result is the best for Melbourne?

    If you think we can go on a winning streak you want Collingwood to win by around 25 points and MFC to win by 30.

    That would probably see us overtake both Collingwood and Geelong

    Why want Port to win? They are ahead of us and GC will only win 10/11 games at most.

    Been meaning to ask for an explanation of these monikers for ages: 'Crom', Flagmantle' and 'Pear'.

    I believe Crom originated from a typo in a forum somewhere years back, and the footy-posting public got hold of it and it got legs.  Not 100% sure though.

    Pies V Cats is a tough one.  Both average teams in average form but can look good on their day

    At the G, I'd probably go for the Pies

    Pear is the bogan way Port fans yell Poowwaaa.  Ends up sounding like Pear sort of?

    Or, I wondered, a dig at Peter Bell's perennial claims?

    Collingwood v Geelong games are tough - I hate wanting either side to win. But in this instance I think we want Geelong - I doubt we can catch Geelong given their fixture (Collingwood, the Dogs and Fremantle are the only relevant sides they have, the rest being North, Adelaide, St Kilda and West Coast), so I'd rather sink losses into Collingwood to keep us above them.

    We won't catch Carlton so we definitely want them to beat the Dogs (and handsomely too if possible).

    Gold Coast v Port is another tough one. We'll likely have to beat both to make finals. Can GC find 4 wins out of GWS (away), Brisbane, West Coast (away), Essendon (away) and Richmond (away)? If not, we want them to beat Port to try to keep us closer to Port.

    Outside of our game, a Richmond upset over GWS would be the best result of the weekend, though.

    crom - cos the crows mistakenly printed 'go the crom' on official merch once and it's stuck with their fanbase; they've even produced merch mocking themselves about it, i believe

    flagmantle - it's the aspirational name their own fanbase gave to themselves in the year they got beaten by the hawks in the grand final in the mid 2010s; meth coke fans call them 'flogmantle' in response

    pear - cos their fans all sound like they're saying 'carn the pear' when they say 'carn the power' and it has, like the crom, been adopted by their own fanbase as a term of affection for the team

    I’ve no respect for people who don’t pick their team in the footy tipping. I’ve picked Melbourne every game since 1986.

    In our comp there’s a North supporter and she’s dead last because she picks them every round. I know who to call when I need a loyal friend though - and everyone was so pumped for her last weekend.

    Some of you should be ashamed. 😂

    Brisbane beware of the sacked coach games, where clubs suddenly find a way to win after sacking the coach.

    Bloody heck

    Do we need a draw or apocalyptic zombie attack tonight?

    Who to follow?

    Pies to win and even the comp but I keep thinking of Gus.

    Zombie attack it is then.

    • 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?

      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.

      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.

      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?
