    Correct call re: Harmes.

    Apart from the easy wins over the QLD sides, his form has been terrible. Although he was excellent in our first meeting with the Pies.

    He was on standby if Viney did not come up.

    Went to training today, with the lad. Feeling the love -  a few things in particular struck me:

     - Skills have improved considerably over the past year or so: much quicker and more accurate.

     - There is a fantastic camaraderie amongst this group - they seem incredibly tight.

     - Clayton Oliver is a beast - silky smooth and tough as they come. He could be one of the most inspired signings for years.

     - Jack Watts looks more and more assured and self-confident. He's clearly a leader amongst the group.

     - So glad to have Bernardo Vincenzo (as he's known in our house) at the MFC. The new smiling assassin.

     - Always impressed at the interraction between players and supporters at our club. Christian Petracca was straight over to the kids after the training session, signing shirts and high fiving.

     

    Noticed that Dunny seemed a bit on the outer - running laps by himself, but not in the buzz of things.

    Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there.

    Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

    And thanks to you and the other unsung members of the Demon Army who man the sausage sizzles at training and the telephones on Tuesday nights.

    Clarry time! Bit of live tackle practice for Harmsey with Clarry acting bag man. Nev (left with actual bag) and Tracc (hands on knees facing cam) looking on....

    Yes he can! This one curled straight through the high diddle diddle.  In fact I didn't see the Hulk miss a shot from about 6 attempts from various angles and distance ...let's hope that form continues into QB

    "Any attempt to put Tracc of his kick", says Dawesy (bit of revenge from Tracc's earlier attempts to do same!) ...

    • 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.
