    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

    • 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.
