Loads of empty Suns' seats.

AFL give them everything but they still can't draw a crowd.

Crowds are irrelevant at the end of the day

It’s about broadcast rights; 4 teams in NSW and qld are integral to that

    Suns look good buts Cats gave up on the flight up. Also easing into the year.

    Calling for Trac as an AA in the first half of the 0th round of the season is a bit premature.

    As bored as I was by last night’s game. Great start to Season 2026, AFL!

    I’m just annoyed that our scoring system doesn’t allow for both sides to lose.

    Something for Swan to work on for next year.

    Get fkd… that’s the pits.

    Footy is becoming a sport for people with ADHD, as fast paced as possible, music in between.

    They’ll add fireworks and fire in a few years like Big Bash league has, and use it after every goal.

    Made me smile when I saw that Buckley was Geelong’s new defensive coach as the Suns piled on the goals in the opening quarter

    Sooooo glad we didn’t pick him up as our head coach.

    So… we agree on this. I wasn’t sure since usually when someone agrees with me they don’t start their post with telling me to get fkd 😁

    This game might become interesting if the lead gets close to 100 points.

    Seeing the video of the Geelong box, with both him and Chris Scott looking all sulky is like 2 for the price of one!!

    Sorry. I was saying that in reference to the original poster saying we are doing that rubbish, and that was my reaction to it, not you! 😂

    I guess it’s never clear via message!

    If the lead gets beyond 186 points I’ll get Damian Hardwick’s face tattooed on my forehead.

    So trac on kings birthday last year could not hit a handball target in the dying stages but suddenly can kick 3 goals tonight.

    This Geelong team just looks so different, I know danger & cameron are missing but gee they look slow.

    Anyway game over & I've switched off

    You didn’t specify who would tattoo you, can I do it?

    For reference, my daughter has better drawing skill than me.

    Judas in a side that has taken 15 years to become good. The Man City of Aussie Rules. Just like how City were absolutely nothing as a club pre 2008, pre Arab oil money, the amount of aid and emergency help Gold Coast received from AFL handouts is nothing short of incompetence.

    I still don’t rate Man City as a club and I sure as hell do not rate Gold Coast either. If the AFL were the football/soccer model, Gold Coast would have died 5 years into their existence.

    3 votes, C Petracca. Superstar. What a joy he is to watch. Sucks it’s not in red and blue anymore.

    Still for the best to move him on, but jeez it sucks.

    Trac is playing at his absolute peak again. Absolute gun. Well done him, but very difficult to watch now. And all of a sudden he can kick (or is that a reflection on the lack of pressure from the Cats?) Getting a bit lippy too.

    • 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.

      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?
