One win is great, but we need to continue to improve. We have a big month of footy that can really show case our future and show how far we have come in 12 months.

Over the next 6 weeks we play Richmond, Brisbane, North Melb, Bulldogs, West Coast, Port Adelaide(Darwin). It is a great mix of 4 teams that shouldn't make the 8 and imo should be bottom 4 and 2 teams that will be looking for a top 4 spot.

The next 6 weeks is very exciting, hopefully we can continue to improve and win the games we should win.

    I wouldn't lump Port Adelaide with the likes of Richmond, North and the Eagles, but that combination of easier and harder opponents is going to really show where our team is at.

    Hell, I think we're a pretty good chance to be 5 and 5.

    Works well for us, alternating between good teams and "beatables" each week.

    It'll mean the kids get continual timely reminders of what is expected from a top team.

    If we played too many teams at our level in a row we'd get a rude shock when we finally played a contender.

    Also works well keeping the confidence high, cos too many shellackings in a row would hurt.

    Spot on-This Draw just might work out perfectly for a team that is learning to win properly (the Top 4 way) B)

    Possibly we can beat Richmond, North and Wet Toast. Port in round 9 is in NT. No real form guide.

    For mine, 4 & 5 after round 9.

    Then Cats, Tankers and Filth. Could be 4 & 8 after 12.

    Agree, the boys took on the doggies last year and nearly come up trumps. Good chance this year. But I would not put money on it, still a longe way to go this season. Good to see everyone excited either way.

    If you'd have told me we were going to be 2-2 with a one point loss by round 4 I'd have taken it. Likewise if you told me we were going to be 5-5 I'd have taken that too.

    • 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.
