    Maybe hope their bathwater is tastier than ours?

    There's certainly a lot more of it!

    Need height down back but not sure we’ve got any that will actually stop them. It would be Adams for Howes and he’d have to play on Naughton and let Disco intercept. We probably just go Disco on Naughton and hope Howes and Rivers can offer some chop out.

    Can’t do much for the midfield. Not sure there’s any need to swap the starting small forwards. JVR isn’t going well but not sure this is a Jeffo game.

    I’d go Lindsay sub again and have Sharp at Casey because he needs full games.

    Baptism of fire for Adams to go up against Darcy/Naughton

    True, would be a tough first game but there are no easy ones left and it’d be good to see what he’s got, with T Mac, Turner and Howes to help him

    I don’t there is any chance Petty goes back after playing so well up fwd. He was our focal point all game

    The last time Dees and Dogs met after thumping wins in their previous games...

    I agree, Petty has played forward all year and probably won't be shifted. English is also in fair form and will make it harder for Gawn to float back.

    True

    Would big Campbell be a chance?

    Backline is a concern without May and an in-form Lever. But agree with previous comments, probably not the game to bring in Adams.

    Not gonna lie, Darcy to kick 5 might be a bet.

    Hmm Sportsbet won’t show past round 22 so you can’t firm up a multi

    Well that cancels out half the team. Not sure we can field a team in the next few weeks

    Just Lindsay in for Sharp.

    Best of luck Disco and T Mac, you’re gonna need it!

    Looking forward to us returning to the ‘G after two weeks at that soulless stadium which I refuse to set foot in. Will be there in full voice - win, lose or draw.

    Thank God this game is at the MCG. That drops at least 8 goals off what the Dogs can score.

    Tommy Mac on Darcy, Turner on Naughton.

    If Darcy gets off the leash, swing Petty back onto him. He's got the height.

    Not convinced we're gonna win this one.

    This, perhaps?...

    Who knows with selection ? It’s a lottery

    Their forward weapons

    Darcy. Prefer Petty to play back on him but Goody will keep him forward, so it’s probably Tmcd

    Naughton. Probably Turner

    West. McVee.

    Midfield. Bont. Libba. Richards. Kennedy. Sanders. Williams

    Versus

    Oliver Trac jv7 Kozzzzy Langdon Langford Windsor

    Big matchup in midfield

    Defence. Runners. Dale. JJ. Freijah

    Need to stop Dale we let too many HBF run and run and kick and run etc etc

    Chandler Sparrow Fritsch need to tighten up on their rebound

    Defence. Talls. Lobb Busslinger O’Donnell Cleary

    Can JVR and Petty and Melksham have any influence ?

    Miscellaneous. Bramble McNeil Poulter. Vdm. Dogs weakness or strength is also their 20-23. Dees can identify this also.

    I’m happy to take you on. I’m betting we win 1 perhaps 2 of the last 3

    • 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?

      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.

      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?
