    Plus:

    3. Must keep Viney healthy

    4. 5 teams can win the flag - Melbourne is one of them

    5. Outstanding coaching and confidence in trying new things. Expect something different pre-finals, if make it

    6. Jake Melksham just needs nothing to think about and let him play on auto pilot

    7. No. 1 pressure acts and contested possession team. No easy games for opposition

    8. Oliver operating at another/higher  level from last year

    Are the five teams Richmond, West Coast, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide?

    I wouldn't rule out Port, Geelong, Hawthorn or even GWS completely. It is only May.

    The last point is an interesting one. Many others on here may instantly agree and seem obvious to them , I’m surprised that this is the case (can you detail Oliver’s stats please)- I assumed he had plateau - but then perhaps I’m merely expecting great sexy sublime things weekly now and my expectations have regressed to the mean.

    Talking football and Melbourne's success at the moment, with two supporters of other clubs,   they both know Gawn and Petracca   but both had no clue as to how good or quick Clarry is.  Just an interesting point I thought.

    Go Dees

    Champion data is getting a bit creepy.

    I'm not sure how they've obtained a data set on a player's neurological mind-state. Unless Saty is somehow involved.

    We beat top 4 sides last year and we didn't make the F word. This season can be different.  Start believing BB.

    A bit in here on the Demons and what we are up to as well as some background on what game day and opp analysts are getting up to....

    I like this comment. We rarely, if ever, talk about the importance of the players abilities to concentrate throughout the match. Aside from physically maturing into that 50-80 game player getting used to constantly being ‘on’ would also take time. 

    "One of the most underrated skills in AFL football now is a player's ability to concentrate for long periods, because the game never stops," Stone said. 

    "The whistle doesn't offer a pause, and the next thing is happening all the time – changing positional roles, momentum swings, rotations on and off the bench, and tactics. 

    "So a player's ability to sustain concentration is definitely an advantage … one mistake can fracture team defence, and it's the same with offence."

    You’d assume those are the 5. 

    Personally I’d have the other four well in front of us, until we show that we are capable of beating stronger sides than North.

    A bit of an eye opener for me also FND. Hopefully the raw passion & joy of just playing the game for the enjoyment factor hasn't been completely lost

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
