    I know they would have got a lot more money playing at optus, but they could have played under the roof at marvel & would have probably won

    Will Schofield asked Luke Jackson about him and Darcy going up against the premier ruckman in the competition in Tristan Xerri, and Jackson began his response with "Yeah, Xerri's probably a top two ruckman in the comp."

    Made me laugh because we know who Jackson thinks the premier ruckman in the competition is. His future teammate.

    We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained.

    Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground.

    The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look.

    Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

    I hated selling Home Games to Brisbane, i don’t care what the Financial gains were.

    Find an alternative Income Stream

    Same with the NT, i have no problem spending time up there during preseason, but selling Home Games is just not right.

    We give ourselves a disadvantage every Season

    Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

    Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

    Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

    I’ve raised this before about North Melbourne but if we had their clinical accuracy we’d be $1.02 favourites to win the flag.

    Out of 14 games they’ve had one occasion whether they’ve kicked more behinds than goals and they still managed 10.11.

    That's interesting, he didn't look too bad with his tap work in the last qtr and I haven't seen any reports in the post match about him being injured.

    Right. Time to let a bee out of my bonnet.

    Tom McCarthy.

    Just shy of his 25th birthday, taken in the mid-season draft.

    Close to nil salary and almost as little 'investment' in his development by the AFL system over the years.

    Had an actual real-person job until about four weeks ago.

    31 disposals, at 93% efficiency, NINE intercepts, just short of 600m gained.

    Clearly BoG for his side and possibly for the game.

    So my question, with additional reference to other second-tier upgrades as well as top-performing kids, is...

    What is the $20-30m a year, per club, of player salaries and football department budget actually getting?

    • 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?
