The only positive of a split round with 3 games next weekend (besides the fact I can watch some Rugby Union!!) is the fact the mighty Dee's will get plenty of TV time in the numerous football related shows over the weekend.

I have everything crossed that we get a win up so I can watch them all with a huge sense of joy!!!

    I don't share your confidence this week. Essendon on a roll could make us look really slow and very ordinary. If that happens again with a national audience we're going to look pretty bad. Let's hope this doesn't happen and we go back to the honourable loss scenario.

    Roosty everything crossed for a good performance is not exactly over flowing with confidence ha ha.

    Not anymore Cards. Not with what's transpired at Arden Street this morning.

    On a roll?? We have lost two in a row leading into the break. Geelong made us look second rate and the Adelaide game was very disappointing.

    It seems Melbourne hate Essendon more than Collingwood these days, and always seem to be competitive against us.

    Have some faith that the young Demons will rise to the Friday night occasion and put up a good show.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
