    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
