    Yes, he’s doing an MBA. He was back in WA for his brother’s wedding though.

    Yesterday I found out why we were denied a home final at Casey. Quite simply… channel Seven said No.  We pushed very hard but to no avail.

    Well this keeps us rolling with the theme of the season in delivering against the odds as we lose one good player after another to injury.

    Geez we're well and truly underdogs now. Hopefully the lions will be overconfident now and we hit them hard early.

    I'd never back this team out.

    Good to know equality and fairness only apply if a broadcaster agrees.

    This is what happens in the AFL men’s it’s a corrupt fixture with integrity last on the list!

    Let’s hope the game isn’t a repeat of blistering goals by hawks in their final, reality the women’s comp has serious issues when a top 4 team in a final can’t kick a goal

    I would be quite happy for us to win with Lions not kicking a goal.

    Would be very happy with a boring easy win.

    For many years, Brisbane and the Adelaide Crows had the benefit of taking all the best talent from their respective states. Meanwhile, the Dees had to fight for talent in the crowded Victorian club market.

    Essentially, it was the Dees v All-State Queensland and South Australian teams.

    The advent of Port Adelaide and Gold Coast is bringing more equality to the competition. Adelaide has come back to the field as Port boasts a proud 155 year history with 36 SANFL championships. This attracted significant talent, diluting the Crows power.

    However, Gold Coast has no history or special place in the hearts of Queenslanders, enabling the lions to keep much of their talent.

    That the Dees have been highly competitive despite the dilution of Victorian state talent reflects strongly on Stinear, Daisy, Kate and the women’s team leadership.

    This qualifying final should be a beauty.

    To each their own but for the sake of the AFLW it’s a poor optics and questions the talent pool, it’s been 8 seasons yet we have a scoreless team in a qualifying final.

    A win today is so crucial. The last final we won was the 2022 premiership. This point is not lost on our young players who’ve clearly been made aware of this. I got the same vibes talking about this with Dingo as I did with Paxy.

    One of Mick’s very many talents is the focus leading up to each match. He has a theme and it’s never generic.

    Anyways, it doesn’t need to be pretty, it doesn’t need to be by a big margin, it just needs to be a WIN!

    And no injuries, of course 🤞

    I’m not a fan of finals campaign slogans (still getting over the whole “Possessed” thing in the men’s in 2023) but we have one this year. It’s…

    BRING THE HEAT!

    But it’s way better than North’s which is NOT DONE YET 🥱

    Which is rubbish. When has the lower placed side ever got the benefit?

    A good day for footy.

    A sprinkling of rain this morning after yesterday's drenching. Now, no showers. It is cold and we have a slight breeze. The sun is breaking through.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • 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.
