    Knuckles just limped off, doesn’t look good

    edit: he’s bearing weight now. Walking freely. They’re taking him for scans

    Laurie just kneed Chandler in a marking contest after too much hang time from Fullarton kick

    I have Laurie down as the smokie that will surprise many this year. Uses the ball well, has some evasive skills and is getting more comfortable at this level.

    It's been a long time coming but its now or never for him.

    Great contested work by AMW but sore shoulder after it. Max puts the heat on Langford and comes out the winner. Adams redeemed with good intercepts and well placed long kicks.

    Shane-o is done for the day. No he’s not injured, he’s “crook in the guts” and before anyone pipes up, he was legitimately unwell, I saw him throwing up at the boundary. 

    Same difference not fit enough too much goes wrong How could you be certain of selecting him for a GF on Thursday and he be crook sick injured or any other malaise that is around to keep him pout if playing? 

    Seriously he should go round in a bubble. Get him to go in I am a celebrity get me out of here and do all the eating weird trials to acclimatise to real life. 

    OR 

    Survivor for toughening up his body and attitude. 

    Over to you Ghostwriter what excuse have you got this time?

    Bucket list item ticked off today.  First training attendance.  Very excited!

    If you don't write a 10 page report with individual dossiers of players performance, highlights of the day, goodys gameplan and an up-to-date injury list... did you even really go to training?

    Put our best players in a yellow cap and be done with it. We’re not supposed to use their limbs to knock the house down

    The return from the Christmas break has been carnage.

    It seems that way for all the clubs, and based on reports, we've come through reasonably unscathed (by comparison). I wonder if the AFLPA will be convinced to reduce the xmas break from 3 weeks down to 2 weeks or 10 days. Ultimately, it will benefit the players as it will likely reduce soft tissue injuries.

    I attended some of the training session this morning. Looked like they were practising some drills about near the end of games. Trac looks very good, and not far away from joining main training. Spargo is getting closer to doing more training. Judd McVee was helped off the ground with a leg injury. Hopefully scans find no serious damage.

    The mood is sky-high! The energy is electric. It’s such a great place to be this morning, more so than usual. I can even hear a couple of the boys singing along with the music in the tent. In case anyone is wondering, the song is called “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom” by Venga Boys (I had to Shazam it). 

    Year 6 disco banger, or maybe that should be boomer?

    Vines is at a wedding. Salo isn’t well but it’s nothing serious…. another crook in the guts by the sound of it.

    He wasn’t “carted” off the field. He limped off. Jacob our club doctor said it’s not as bad as it looked anyways.

    • 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.

    • 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?
