Very happy. Beat them in every facet of the game. Wasteful with the inside 50s early but that last quarter did a lot to atone for that. Took a good step.

    Let me guess the first post disparaging the win.

    Rubbish opposition?

    We should have won by 100?

    The kicking issue again raises its ugly head but a great win to kick enough good goals to compensate.

    Foxfooty sucks. Cut short the telecast.

    What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

    I will take any 11 goal win we can muster. 

    There was a very solid contribution from most players but still plenty of upside if we can use the ball better. We can and we should. 

    We absolutely must keep it going next week. 

    Good game in the end but not without the traditional Melbourne moments.

    Cant believe we are one below hawks by 3 %.

    We are a way better team with oodles more talent.

    That Round 4 game was an anomaly.

    Pretty sure they were just paying due diligence to make sure he didn’t require an oxygen tent.

    You reckon? 

    We did well tonight, but last night's battle between Swans and Hawks was worth watching. 2 very good sides. 

    We are not there yet,regrettably.

    Two ways of looking at this, not mutually exclusive

     

    was a good win, against ok opposition , on the road which somewhat makes up for the Hawks tigers losses

     

    however FMD the kicking needs fixing as does f50 efficiency. Could easily have been a 100 pt win - many of those goals were not under pressure - the extra 5-6-7!goals could really have shot us to top 4 and provided a bugger against some losses.

     

    its a tight lipped chargrin win - which is a plus if you think about it as it shows how far we've come and how our expectations are much higher and aligned with possibilities we know are within reach 

     

    go dees let's do the same to carrrrtlton

     

    apologies for rant spent 90 mins putting 3yo to bed and missed last 1/4

    Did what we had to do and now look forward to next week. If Hawkins this week was a precedent setter then Curnow is looking at a spell for next week’s match.

    Thanks Debbie Downer.

    I don't think so Wiseblood.

    One should keep things in context.

    Hawthorn is not Gold Coast. They haven't been since the late 60s. It is a little premature to compare us with a side with 10 flags in 35 years l would have thought. 

    Maybe it is just me though. My memory of Froggy kicking his goal is a little dim.

    The bigger Curnow will be a other great test for Oscar next wek

    Good win put the foot on the throat in the last which was nice but should have been a fare way ahead by 3 quarter time, must beat Carlton then sets up a good game against Adelaide, I feel like we are just starting to get rolling

    The vast gap between the two sides was evident from around the five minute mark to the final siren.  We absolutely bossed them, as we should have.

    The talent in this side is super exciting, and Fritz and Spargo are very much part of that exciting group.

    No, we shouldn't keep anything in context after a 69 point win.  Leave that for another day and enjoy the victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
