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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
