I am actually happy we play GW$ first up. 
if we play the old static style of the last 2-3 years, we will get murdered 

We have to be innovative and proactive next week

Same here. No queues at the bar or loo.

    Is Daicos Cam a new initiative for Fox this year?

    what mind?

    Well, you know how there used to be a theory that some of the bigger dinosaurs had a second brain located in their [censored]? Sadly it got demoted (a bit like Pluto) for being too small and non-functional.

    Speaking of... always nice to see Maynard having a stinker. Especially liked him copping an accidental bump from a teammate because he'd thrown himself down trying to draw a fake free.

    Free to air tv - if all else fails play re-runs of Friends or Seinfeld.

    Fox sport - if all else fails show some bland meaningless thing involving a Daicos. 

    Apart from some great run-and-carry by the Giants, what a carp game of footy for a Sunday arvo. Dropped marks, poor foot skills decorated by some packs and tackling.

    They should have beaten the Swannettes in the GF last Season 

    44 points up against The Bears and they relaxed 1%
    If we can beat them next week it will be huge 

    We need to emphasise Speed and ball movement, constantly create options

    Dunno but I have every hair and skin cell of his thigh seared into my memory.

    And it ain’t pretty

    He is reading the play and getting to the right spots really well, but not executing simple kicking and marking. He looks ripe for mine, just rusty.

    did people really think pies were top 4 this year??

    They have the talent and skill. The ? Will be in their fitness and keeping the talent in the field.

    Daicos clearly didn’t get the minutes in during pre season.  Will he be playing catch up all year?

    Is this the Giants B side?

    They seem to have a number of injuries and suspensions?

    Yeah, it's lovely in Sydney today. Gentle breeze, not hot, and the humidity is in the clouds, not sticking to everything at ground level.

    Getting a little bit of Weideman vibes. Almost feels like Cadman's 2024 would be what we would have seen from Weideman if he'd had a full season in the firsts to learn the level. U suppose the key similarity is the lack of high impact moments to compensate for the long periods uninvolved.

    He actually looks like he's been lightly seared on both sides to lock in the flavour. Big fake tan sponsorship about to drop at Collingwood.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style.

    • 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.
