Non Lions Discussion 2026

[Nathan Barley]

St.Kilda.

That should be fun

Are we deathriding any teams this year?

Saints

 

[Section 5]

 

[martinson]

How long before a Bring Back Kenny thread appears on the Port Board ?

 

[braddsey]

Pendles vision is 1 week based on what we copped. But they won’t do it with the games record etc.

Can’t say i’m a fan of gunning for every player to get rubbed out for minor-ish indiscretions. We can’t afford it. On evidence, I’m surprised Bez wasn’t sighted for his little shoving match with Heeney that slid up into Heeney’s chin.
I hope we copped the worst of it in R-0, but a bit more of a rational approach is applied from here on.

 

[Grasshopper17]

St.Kilda.

And Adelaide.

 

[Grasshopper17]

And Adelaide.

And Collingwood but that goes without saying really.

 

[braddsey]

Funny how quickly things change, suddenly I’m riding the Melbourne bandwagon. Go Dees.

Funny how much more likeable a player appears once they no longer wear a Collingwood guernsey (Miocheck).

 

[010203]

If they're looking at adding another game to Opening Round and thus having 6 round 0 games, you might as well have every club play and call it round 1 but give the 4 Northern clubs home games against big Victorian clubs.

 

[010203]

C'mon Melbourne.

Round O is stupid IMO, just go a full Round 1 like we did in the olden days. If they want to showcase the northern markets I like your idea.

Lions v Tigers
Suns v Magpies
Swans v Blues
Giants v Hawks

 

[Nathan Barley]

Still have a soft spot for Sharpy

I've been saying for a while that Melbourne have quietly been rebuilding and putting together a good group of kids. They've been very proactive in trading future first round picks in to current drafts, to pick two first rounders per year.

 

[braddsey]

Still have a soft spot for Sharpy

He’s everywhere. Kicked a goal, pops up in the backliine then puts his body on the line in the forward line for Fritch to goal.

 

[martinson]

Still have a soft spot for Sharpy

What's going on ? Sharpy saves them at one end and then a minute later imposes himself physically to lead to the winning goal.

Breathtaking stuff.

 

[briztoon]

Clarko the mad genius lowering expectations to less than 0 in the preseason and lulling Port into a false sense of security

West Coast board melting, as they had spent most of the off season counting their two games against North in WA as wins. Port absolutely smacked West Coast around in the preseason, off the back of Butters going super saiyan.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Great win for Melbourne. Shame so few of their supporters could make it to the game

 

[briztoon]

Are we deathriding any teams this year?

Adelaide.

Oh wait...

 

[martinson]

Would've preferred the Saints to win today.

Max has torched TDK and for some reason Roscoe put NWM at FF and took him off when he put them back in the game. Surely he's carrying something.

Anyway upshot is they'll be really fired up after the questions raised his week.

 

[Elixuh]

Well deserved saints.

Dees looked awesome. Speed and X factor. Sharpy was epic in the last quarter. Really suited his running.

$1.7m man TDK an absolute liability.

 

[irel]

Great win for Melbourne. Shame so few of their supporters could make it to the game

The game of football clearly isn’t the priority right now, unfortunately for the Demons. Snow season has arrived in Japan.

, one of my favourite players from other teams, down to earth type who is a funny guy off field as well.

They've got another game before they play us though. If this loss does get them fired up, it's the Giants who will cop it.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Saints are trash. Topped up to scrape into finals and be the smallest bit relevant anymore but need to find the off field staff that quality footballers will want to play for

 

[Mr Ripper]

No hordes of big Melbourne club supporters to inflate you-know-whose crowd today.
