GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Never pick Woewodin again. Gives the side nothing.

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Always bet against us at least at the line it's the only way to get through a season these days

March 23, 2025Mar 23

At least we got them in the practice game hey…

Petty getting beaten by a hack from West Coast. Really?

Petty spent most of the day on Larkey

Some of these comments are absolutely absurd.

Xerri is best ruck in the comp and still on the rise. Max had one bad game against him. He doesn’t need to retire after one poor game.

Langdon was a bright spot last year and he’s being asked to shift roles this year. He’s had a bad game. Doesn’t mean his career is over.

Get a grip people.

Let's discuss Max more in depth.

Do you think he's got the speed and stamina require for the current style of footy?

Unless you make him a more permanent piece in our fwd line, don't see him being good come next year. He's been a great ruckman and thanks for your service but we need to move forward.

March 23, 2025Mar 23

We have 6 months to find a coach, it starts now

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Sad thing is we haven't got anyone good to bring in.

Goody never makes strong statements & drops players that need to be dropped

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Chandler is the only player who can hold his head high today. Everyone else on the other hand...

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Priority pick coming up

March 23, 2025Mar 23

That was some impressive jogging around in circles by Fritta then

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Peptides have our first pick

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Losing is not the issue it the lack of effort by senior players and the lack of talent on those coming through. This is no light on the horizon stuff. Absolutely no positives at all

No. He's still a very good player. Trouble is he's had to carry everything by himself for eons.

The club admitted as much when it recruited Grundy.

Did it bother replacing him ?

Na. Just didn't care.

March 23, 2025Mar 23

9 goal belting by north. I’m dreading the Geelong game

Speed? He’s never been fast but somehow managed to be the GOAT and a 7x AA selection…

Stamina? Absolutely. He’s still a warrior.

Are you sure you’ve been watching the same Max Gawn that everyone else has for the past decade?

of all the rubbish from this team today our greatest club champion of all time is the guy you’re ready to kick to the curb???

March 23, 2025Mar 23

I tipped a ten goal win. So I'm only twenty goals off.

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Far too many broken tackles today.

More inside 50s and losing by 10 goals is something.

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Rivers must be pulling his hair out. Working so hard to find an option. No one leading or moving at all. Finally finds an option and delivers accurately under pressure. The player he kicks to bombs long or turns it over.

Traded it - and a lot of other secondary picks - for the pick became Lindsay

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Jeez, that trash today Collingwood is beating us in stats for the game!

March 23, 2025Mar 23

Midfield absolutely pantsed today, poor stoppage set up, need to honey pot then getting burnt in transition.

Gawn well beaten

Viney 3 times blazed into f50 straight down Combens throat, handballs not hitting targets, kicking over teammates in the open.

If you want to be a laughing stock you sack the coach in Rd 2

Stay strong regroup and back your players, to turn the basics around

Our problem is that we won't move forward, like with Goodwin.

That includes the playing list, as hard the decision may be.

NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round
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.

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.

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?
