Round 12 against the Giants should be interesting!

A quote from the article stood out…

‘And now the Demons, who don't get to open their 2026 season until Sunday in a game against St Kilda, were forced to witness the two produce matches that would rank somewhere among their very best…’

Tracc was incredible in his Suns debut game and deserves the credit, but I’ve seen Clayton play a lot at Melbourne from 2017-22, and his performance on the weekend honestly wouldn’t rank in his 40 best performances. He was pretty good. That’s all. Nothing more.

He’s still a long way of what he was. A long way.

Yep compare Oliver's game last Saturday to what he served up in our 1 point loss against Adelaide back in 2021. Not in the same [censored] ballpark.

Traccs game was awesome. If he keeps hitting leading targets like he did in that game, he’s going to be incredibly damaging. He didn’t do that at Melbourne with anywhere near the same consistency. I don’t think I saw him hit leading forwards 2-3 times in a single game.

On the other hand, to say that could be one of Oliver’s best games, is literally insulting to his earlier career, haha.

Not caring what Clayton says? It'll never catch on!

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
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.

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.

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?
