    The 22nd of January is part of the school holidays open session series. I know in the past there’s been no training at Gosch’s during the AO but the session on the 22nd at Gosch’s is locked in. We’ve already ordered what’s needed in terms of sausage sizzle stuff and BBQ hire and since that’s done through the Club, there’s no doubt it’s going ahead.

    Definitely bring the little man along 🤗

    I realise this probably doesn't fit in this thread.  But, it was too good to not post somewhere, so I'm sticking it here.  (Sorry!)  Dennis has a point when we all get a bit fired up watching the game on the telly!  😎

    When we first heard about the open session being scheduled for the 14th of February some DA were saying that because it’s Valentine’s Day they might not be available coz plans with their other half etc.

    I jokingly replied, ”I’ll definitely be available because the MFC is my one and only true love.” I expected to get these reaction emojis 😂🤣 but instead I got these ❤️ 💖 which goes to show I’m not the nuffiest in the DA. 😝🙁

    😂  With a rather large airfare attached. I'm currently home, enjoying the warmth and brightness of a Melbourne summer.

    Anyone know where clayton and christian came in the time trail?

    You can't hide your fitness in those

    Times in the time trials are subjective to each footballer. It’s about each player aiming for their best under the circumstances that have prevailed in the pre season and their ability in running u der this pressure. 

    Some players aren’t best times in the group but are still very good for them ie Maysie. and the fitness Chiefs know the scorer with each footballer.

    • 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?
