It was a dirty day, especially with Lever doing down, but good sides win games when things aren't going their way.  We did that today and showed real maturity after it took us 15 minutes to get going.   

The big one for me was our back line.  With Lever going down it left us with just Oscar as a tall defender, and we still kept them to a low score while also doing some wonderful things across half back.  Jetta was immense, Hibberd did some good things, Lewis and Vince provided calm heads and even Harmes patrolled across there once Lever went down.  It's becoming a real strength of our side.

Our mids were smashed in the clearances, which was really surprising.  But on the flip side they worked their backsides off once we went 3 goals down and helped to turn things around.  Oliver and Gus, in particular, were fantastic.

And then you have Hogan and Macca who both kicked bags and showed how awesome they can be together for a long, long time.  Awesome stuff.

Special mention to Bayley Fritsch as well.  What a pick up this kid is.  When we traded Watts for the pick we took him with we clearly knew what we were doing.  26 touches and 14 marks is a day out and he just keeps getting better and better.

We are 8-3 and playing great footy.  We now get an 8 day break and hopefully Lever isn't too badly injured and won't need to spend too much time on the sidelines.  Bring on the Filth and our 7th win in a row!!

    Currently sitting in second position, pending the Tigers game tonight against the Drug Cheats.  What a feeling!

    Yeah it wasn’t pretty but it’s still a 50 point win. Good work by the boys who were under real siege.

    2nd on the live ladder....best % in the AFL right now.  Kept a little in the tank for our arch enemy next week in the Big Freeze.

    Great result against a scrappy desperate Doggies & Razor's best efforts to keep them in the match.

    Chances of that happening are getting slimmer and slimmer.

    Nice win, slogged it out. But bet they're glad to have the extended break, looked tired.

    Was that James Magner in the rooms?

    Solid Win. Bulldogs came at us early, played with quick ball movement and looked quicker than us. Had a good run with the umps to start.

    Hope Lever is ok.

    How can a player of Fritsch’s build take 14 marks in senior AFL football?

    Freak.

    We have won SIX in a row peeps first time since 2006  

    Game was interesting and we were at times sloppy with our disposal which is probably a bit of a hang over from last weeks game. 

    Good to see a game where we came from behind and didn’t have it all our own way. 

    Congrats Jones on ur 250 game. 

    Go Dees.

    Post match advising that Lever has gone to the hospital for scans to see if he has done his ACL.

    Neville Jetta with the greatest MFC back pocket performance since Alan Johnson’s 1988 elimination final masterpiece!

    ABC grandstand are saying they have spoken to Melbourne people and we are worried it's an ACL. Let's hope they are just being pessimistic

    I have worded up my partner for tonights shift and we are madly putting everyone in bed. Marvelous how the residents all chose of their own free will to have an early night. Almost never happens :)

    (Good for the replay straight after i slip them all some extra "happy pills")

    GO DEES!!

    Razor's efforts in the first quarter were unjustified.

    Brayshaw's disposal was shocking unfortunately.

    • 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.
