    I laughed when I saw him lace out King with the best kick he's ever done. King dropped it but the kick was perfect. Of course he turns into 21 Trac as soon as he leaves haha.

    I'm with you @Golly123 . I'm going to miss him but his time with us was done. I bear him no ill will.

    I must admit that ,although I bear him no ill will , I’m finding it actually difficult watching him play ( so well ) for GC .

    I’m convinced, really convinced that in his last couple years he lost interest, and knew he wanted out and gave significantly less effort and output, which would make Melbourne want to trade him and cash in.

    I think he had a lot more than he was giving.

    Spot on. It’s clear his morale was very poor at the MFC for the last couple of seasons. He didn’t want to be there, particularly after his serious injury.

    no point continuing with the self-flagellation

    No it’s a huge loss for us. Petracca at his best is one the best players in the Competition. However, him staying at the MFC was increasingly untenable. He was very unhappy at the MFC for two seasons at least , especially after his serious injury. Therefore, there was no choice but to let him go . However, we are kidding ourselves if we believe that he’ll be easily replaceable or that his loss won’t be felt some time.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.

    • 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?
