I'm not sure how many (if any) players with limited preseasons so my list looks a little different.

Certainties:

Bell, Carroll, Green, Robertson, Neitz, Davey, Moloney, McLean, Jones, McDonald, White,

Probables:

Wheatley, Buckley, Miller, Dunn, Petterd, PJ,

Possibles:

Bruce, Rivers, Newton, Batram, Frawley, Morton, Jamar, Meesen, Garland, Bode, Yze, Holland, CJ

Of the possibles I'd have the first five to round out the 22. I wouldn't have Yze simply because his form and disposal in the pre-season has been ordinary.

that leaves a side that looks like this:

Bell, Carroll, Bartram

Wheatley, Miller, Rivers

Dunn, McDonald, Moloney

Bruce, Newton, Robertson

Davey, Neitz, Green

White, McLean, Jones

Petterd, Buckley, PJ, Frawley

 

FB: Bell Carroll Bartram

HB: Frawley Rivers Petterd

C: Moloney Jones Wheatley

HF: Bruce Newton Green

FF: Robertson Neitz Davey

Foll: White McDonald McLean

Int: P Johnson Morton Dunn Buckley


On paper our lineup actually looks pretty good!

I am not overly concerned with our pre-season form, and the fact that everyone is tipping us to finish bottom couple is just a joke!

We all saw what teams like Port Adelaide and The Kangas did last season after a horror 2006....

Giving up hope this close to Round 1 is just [censored] weak!

I have faith that we will push for a finals birth this season and no matter what any so called "experts" may say, I will not be changing my mind until I truly believe otherwise!

The first 5 or 6 rounds will give us a good indication of where we are heading for 2008, but just remember what the boys can do when they get a bit of confidence about them..... All is not lost!

Bring this $hit on baby!!!!

I'm interested to see who will be the back-up ruckman, who will play in Rivers' absence (almost certain he won't be rushed back into the side), and whether Yze will get a game.

Finally it's here... can't wait till Sunday!!!

B: RIVERS, CARROLL, BELL

HB: YZE, MILLER, WHEATLEY

C: BUCKLEY, JONES, MOLONEY

HF: BRUCE, NEWTON, DAVEY

F: ROBERTSON, NEITZ, GREEN

FOLL: WHITE, MCLEAN, MCDONALD

IC: BARTRAM, DUNN, MORTON, P.JOHNSON

EMERG: PETTARD, HOLLAND, FRAWLEY

 

My big call for round 1 is Dunn on Franklin.

It just looks so right.

Also, a nice side note that accoring to finalsiren.com the hawks best players vs Melbourne over the last five games are many of the same players they are now missing, including Jacobs, Brown, Hodge and Crawford. Franklin doesn't have a record of firing against us.

What we have to really watch is bloody Mark Wlliams. C'mon Belly, nail him to the turf!

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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?
