Just maybee its not who is playing for Melbourne but who they want to be right for Sandy

Get players use to playing with each other going into the final games for Sandy

Player like Ward Goddfrey Brown Miller wont be playing for Sandy in the finals,so dont play them there now.

I think Newton will be the next to go back over the next few weeks. All the young Melbourne players have been making

there way back to the Sandy team, one or two a week. Very clever by Williams and MFC

This says to me that Riley is not selfish as suggested by some.

I don't give a flying [censored] about Sandy, and having our guys play in their premiership teams in the last 4 four hasn't done us any good, so why should this year be any different? If we are picking our team based solely on how it affects Sandringham then we need to have a serious look at whether the current relationship is to our benefit.

The winning culture at Sandy is better than the crap were dishing up at the moment.

Just maybee it might help the development of some of our young players

We've had a winning culture at Sandy for the last four years but where has it got us?

MELBOURNE

B: Ben Holland, Nathan Carroll, Ryan Ferguson

HB: Daniel Bell, Brad Miller, James Frawley

Five talls in the backline awesome.....

Could not possibly line up like that. I doubt that a backline with an average height of 6'4" has ever been named before.

P.S.- Ward over Buckley/Bode/Dunn... amazing.

Tell me about it, youth policy my ass! Still got brown in there as well. :rolleyes:

I know we don't ave to go all out youth, it's actually good to have some experienced heads in the team, but this just stupid. And WFT is with us going in with no back up ruckman? White's getting on and we need to be giving as much game time to PJ so that when he has to take over the mantel it's not such a daunting task. These selectors giving me the shits right now and i'm starting to think we should do a full cleanout of the whole footy department.

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.

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?

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?
