Well you can lock Hawthorn in for another finals spot. Such an easy run home.  

Geelong as usual with two gifts in the final two rounds - at home to Freo and  Gold Coast.

The AFL really love to look after the Cats and Hawks.  Sickening.

    Chokes.

    The MFC

    Hmmmm

    ?

    I know but can't we just dream of playing in September for once instead of just assuming the absolute worst is going to happen (again)!?

    The Swans suddenly looking vulnerable. 

    And we play them in round 21...  the stakes will be huge.

    Its well overdue, a serious ravalry/hatred between Melbourne and Sydney

    Potential that has just sat here, both clubs have never really pursued it hard, maybe we were just not strong enough before. 

    Everything else between Melbourne and Sydney is dead serious

    Step up Demons. Create another Marquee game. 

    Use our name

    The obvious answer is YES.

    However the MFC has such a long tradition of failure it is very difficult to not expect the worst.

    Sad? Yes but understandable.

    I was 17 when I saw us win our Grand Final in 1964.

    I didn't think I'd reach 71 without us winning another!

    The EH Holden had just been released along with “A Hard Day’s Night”

    and some people call me impatient for some real success

    We can tell.

    Me? I was a spritely teen the last time the dees played finals. Now I'm staring down the barrel of 30 and I still hold that Chopper Carroll takedown on Fraser Gherig as my most loved footy moment.

    Same same. Was with the cheer squad in "T" section and lost my voice for quite a while after the match. Stayed at the G overnight and got home late Sunday.

    30 was a good year. They went fast after 30 though, be ready. 

    The only constant each year has been the failing of the MFC, with some different excuse!!!! :)

    You could stay inside the stadium back then or did they shunt you into the carpark?

    my dad and his mates would often end up at one of the players houses after a GF and literally go from house to house for about 5 days!

    I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS)

    Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].

    Ben McEvoy out for at six weeks with a fractured cheek bone. Won’t help the Hawks chances.

    I think we are roughly the same age. To me your not being impatient it is just the reality.

    • 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.
