... now that we've added Rivers, Bartram and Whelan to our defence since Round 1. I guess we can also include Cam Bruce as he's playing on a hbf now.

Once these players are back playing with their usual assuredness, it will translate into less of those devastating turnovers which have been the bane of our 2008 season.

you're right.

wheatley playing good footy is a bonus. just need carrol and bell playing good footy also.

i would love to see one of Frawley of Stefan Martin chucked in to play against some quality forwards. we desperately need to find a backman who can play defensively on the best big forwards.

i how i wish we had Brian Lake, he is such a great player (i'd take a Nathan Brown from collingwood also).

Whelan gives us something we miss more than anything. A carrier to run the ball out of the backline and into attack. When wheels is playing, we see less chipping around. His forwardline pressure is to die for, which could result in higher opposition turnovers in our back 50.

Rivers is our best backman, no doubt. He is the general out there, and is accountable for cutting off poor entries into our back 50, and gettting the ball out with minimal effort.

Having the duo back will also lift the great nathan carroll (no joke, he is my pick for B&F so far, he has marked just about everything!!!) and Daniel Bell.

Surely you jest... Carroll cost us about 5 goals last week all by himself which is the amount we lost by

He was decent in round 2 though

  • 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.

  • 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?
