I have noticed a subtle change in my attitude.

No more bravado before & during games, no more justifying our game style, no more gloating over 2 goal wins. Yesterday after the match I went out to dinner, How did the Dees go? was the question. Me. We won.     That was it.  About ten minutes later, was it close? Me, 91 points. What? Adelaide are missing a few players and we played well.

My brother living in Adelaide is an Adelaide supporter. So for me it was no text, no phone call, nothing, he feels bad enough, no need to rub it in especially after what he said about Lever.

Is this what it feels like to have a great team? I hope so.

    I've found the same. After last week, all I said to a Carlton supporting colleague was 'we won't talk about it'.

    Fritsch's disposal is way better than Cam's.

    Yeah, i'd pay that, generally seems sharper then Cam's

    Certainly moves like Cam and better disposal.

     

    I think this is what I was talking about, his movement and bodywork is so reminiscent of Brucey's

    Didn’t like the way Hogan approached teammates after that. Outstanding game though 

    I think he was having a go at the bench for not getting the message out. Understandable

    I like the way that youngsters like Spargo and Fritsch are not expected to be our saviours. They are the icing on the cake and will continue to develop. The players we expect to do the heavy lifting are doing it.

    • 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

      ï»żA 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.
