This game is justifying 2 opinions I have formed:

  1. The SCG is a grave for decent footy.

  2. The modern game at its worst is a horrible spectacle

Add to that the ball handling skills on display, this is an embarrassment.

    Sydney has always been putrid for good football. Brisbane and Geelong are second and third.

    The new rule changes aren’t making things better. Wouldn’t say it’s good viewing.

    I think Florent will cop a few weeks for that knee on Heeney.

    Swans have been sloppy at times, Blues looking solid considering playing at the SCG, always a tough away gig ... interesting to see what happens in the second half ...

    Agree …he def looked down at Heeney before he collected him & then he changed direction

    Ground is far too small for 36 players’, allows the Swans to clog it up something shocking.

    Grounds need to have a minimum length (SCG) and width (KP) rule, to allow for more open play.

    Weeks would be crazy

    Any player from any other team except Carlton, and it would have taken up all of the half break.

    Particularly us.

    Absolutely.

    Looked down at Heeney, saw his head and kneed him.

    Dirty act and he has given out a few already.

    And now 3 goals in 2 minutes of play. Someone better check if Stephen Dank wasn't sharing lollies in both rooms during the break.

    Just curious is it still insufficient intent inside the foreword / defensive 50m lines?

  • Quote

    Blues dominated for 60 minutes

    Swans turn up for 10 mins and the Blues are done. All they do is try to pick fights off the ball

    • 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.
