Is that the first time we have won two on the trot (even nab cup) in about 6 years?

    I'll take it, but will still celebrate hardcore if we manage it during the season.

    I'm talking cocaine, strippers, accidental flight to Queensland after a tab of acid, the works...

    In 2012 we beat Brisbane in one of those "lightning" games (where you played back-to-back mini games), then the next week we beat Collingwood. 

    That's the closest thing we have to consecutive wins since we last did it properly, in Rounds 13-14 of 2011.

    ive seen article saying demons win 2 from 2. God knows we need some positive press 

    good for membership. Good for confidence.

    The membership point is a good win - we might not have looked flash in winning, but it's a win and that is what everyone talks about.  Can only be a good thing.

    Wins are great for membership and general positivity around the club. Ultimately wins in NAB mean more to the lower teams because they need hope.

    That's not to downplay the results too much though, 2 wins are definitely better than 2 losses!

    And after we beat St. Kilda next week it will become 3 from 3. A nice confidence builder for a young team for whom the game plan is finally starting to gel and it means that we turn up for Round One much better prepared than in the recent past. Go Dees!

    Do we get anything if we end up on top of the ladder for the nab challenge?

    Simple really. Two wins feels a lot better than two losses. 

    Hallelujah to that Ernest.

    I will take a win any time anywhere for any reason.

    Apart from respect....?

    I love the fact that Melbourne are trying to win every game, if nothing else it gives the young supporters something to cheer about and a bit of confidence heading into the proper season.

  • Quote

    Confidence is a huge thing, could be the difference between wins and close losses so fingers crossed we carry it into the season

    2wins are 2wins,  it feels like we haven't had that since the Febey boys made Melbourne home.

     

    its a nice feeling.

    A decade is a long to be the also rans of any competition dee-luded.

    AS Jon Ralph said in today's HUN " But for a club that has defined mediocrity for a decade , NAB cup wins against Port Adelaide and the Dogs will do just fine."

    On the outside the club is all smiles but on the inside the coaches would be scratching their heads. Take the win but still a long way to go.

    I am very confident that 99% of MFC supporters would agree with you BA.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
