    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

    • 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.
