Well this is positive reading! Sounds like they are having a decent crack which is what we all wanted. From the sounds of some of the missed shots early, we could have been a lot closer too!!

im starting to get very nervous about Jurrah, this will be 2 very bad games in a row for him

    Its the pre-season, he is the only target up forward atm and the other teams will be playing closer attention to him this year.

    I'm not worried but he will have to work harder this year I think.

    Jurrah was pushed up the ground that quarter to get a feel for it. Had some nice clean touches

    which will be really good for his confidence. Is getting caught behind the packs up forward, and is bring held

    every now and again which doesn't help.

    Sylvia and Grimes are playing phenomenally well. We are killing them in the midfield but just can't capitalize up forward.

    We are not great at bringing the ball out of defence either.

    Would love to win this quarter and give the bombers a scare. Remember we are without Green, Bruce and

    Davey.

    no mate, just going by the lack of posts that don't have his name in it, glad to hear he is getting into it

    Great to hear particularly about Sylvia. He needs to assert himself this year to show he has what it takes to be a great player and prove last year wasn't a one off.

    Also good to hear Jurrah is getting some touches. He is a freak but I don't think we will be able to rely on him. He is the x-factor that can blow the game apart but not the lynchpin that we can rely on to straighten up our forward line I think.

    Jurrah off the ball I'm not sure about.

    That's annoying. We get first goal of the last quarter to get to within 15pts and they then kick three in a row..:(

    • 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

      A 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.
