2 average teams. Cats with only 1 injury concern

Surely the Cats disappear forever now (have predicted this since 2017)

Apart from them and Langford, can’t see too many more kicking their goals.

Dodo did a magnificent job of getting that list together. Incompetence for over 20 years. Took them long enough to get rid of him.

Happy new year Luc!

Many thanks layzie.  Hope yours is fab.

I'm back on DL now that the season is close ... will be a very good year for the mighty dees ❤️💙


At least these games have a bit of more intensity than last weeks training drill. 

Of course the only time they send these guys down to that $hithole is during a worthless practice match. Now that Hawthorn are temporarily good again after 1 season, they’ll never be sent there again for another 10 years. 🤡🤦‍♂️

Listening to the commentators you would think they are all paid up Cats members the way they talk about them… sickening 

Geez Nate Caddy is a solid forward. He would have worked so well with JVR.

It’s practice. 
Do they travel during the season?

Yeah but we have Jeffo!

Watching Kako tonight shows we don’t need to be to worried about loosing Pickett if those sorts of players are in the draft

he wasn't in the draft tho, not really - he was in the peptides' academy 

you can see why they were prepared to trade us their pick so we couldn't nominate him

hopefully marcus prassad is as promising for us as he is for them

Windsor is pretty sweet though… him streaming across the MCG Is a thing of beauty 


I liked the way Kako always gave the football back to the umpire. If it’s good enough for basketball…

It's so hard to know what to take out of these games. A lot of times in the TAB* when an unexpected horse won a race the punters would rush back to the form guides on the wall to check whether there was a factor they had missed. Usually this wouldn't improve one's punting; but the same during the year if, say, Kako kicks 40 goals or Geelong drops down to 12th we'll then overrate hindsight.

As for watching these games I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to have these kind of things, plus other sports, on in the background. I suspect if I was born in America I'd be spoiled for choice for nightly sports viewing (assuming I liked their biggest sports in this parallel universe.)

 

* This is ancient history. I'd guess the only people still in TABs are tragics who either can't afford pay TV or are Luddites who even resisted using email for years.

Teams don't defend much in practice matches and sometimes just fully experiment so the results are totally meaningless.

Positional changes, player roles and performances of new recruits is the reason to watch them.

  • 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.

  • VOTES: Richmond

    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?
