    Weather update in Melbourne?

     

    50 point win today... hope it is stress free.

    May be the only big win we get for a few weeks so I look forward to enjoying it


    Can't get to this one; v disappointed.  Go JV and Da Boys.  Play like your spot depends on it.

     

     

    We win the ones we should these days,  so expecting that we control most of  the game today.

    I hate Carlton.  The Curnow boys missing is huge though, and takes out their second best mid and their best forward to this point of the year.

    They'll be up and about early, especially after their win last week, so it's up to us to weather the early storm and play the game on our terms.  Do that and we win comfortably.

    He just handballs around anyway.....

    I'm glad Viney is playing. I finally get to wear my creepy hunchback Viney socks

    Demons by 10 goals plus.

    Should be a totally one sided match. Viney back and the reserves putting heaps of pressure on the boys to perform, coupled with Carltanks outs have me supremely confident.

    No nerves at all this week, just like last week.

    :)

    Wet. Slippery. Messy football kind of day. I'm not used to this "expecting to win" thing...

    why am i always a nervous wreck before the games now that there's an expectation that we will win?

    life was much easier when we were in the doldrums

    I’ve noticed the same thing. The expectation pre-match makes me feel sick, but I embrace it. It’s still better than that overarching sense of impending doom.

    I also found it really difficult watching to the end of the Hawks and Tiges games when we were playing poo. In the past I’d always watched to the end looking for some morsel of things to take out of the game, but when you know one or two minor acts aren’t going to cut for taking the edge off the smashing, that was really hard to take.

    • 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.
