    The swans are by no means impregnable. There is tremendous significance in this result. Can the Titan called the Sydney swans be about to topple ?? It's about blddy time.

    Makes our loss to St Kilda look better. Yes I know that's a difficult task, but at least we tried hard at the end of the last Q.

    That should be the default answer when people ask 'how did we lose to St Kilda?'

    How did RIchmond lose to St Kilda by 11 goals at the end of last season then win a  flag 8 weeks later?   Footy is indeed strange.

    What the actual? Gold Coast? At least now we aren’t the only team to fluff it against cellar dwellers.

    Take it MFC TAKE IT! They’re sitting there waiting to give you their money!

    Dew would have very good knowledge of how to pick apart the Swan's game strategies, that would have been a factor.  But its still a win in the record book.

    Sydney are 7-1 on the road and 3/5 at home, so you might want to temper expectations of a win just yet. I blame Gill for not scheduling the game at the SCG.

    Try landing at Lukla ;)

    Worst flight I ever had was to Lukla...

    All others cancelled after ours, lucky me.

    Felt like Dennis' 'Cork in the ocean'.

    Freo might make it two upsets in a row here and effectively end Essendrugs season.  Wouldn't that be something.

    Carn Freo! Enjoyable watch the bombers struggle to win this against kids. 

    The commentators still trot out the line:

    the bombers are a top 4 team when playing well. 

    Wtf does that mean? They are 12th!

    Yep, mine was a while back now but a harrowing flight that I will never forget.

    The plane was being thrown around from one cliff face to another, a sherpa woman was screaming at the top of her lungs, one of the monks was laughing in stitches and I was white knuckle holding onto my seat. Know idea what that would do if the plane smashed into one of the mountains but hey that's what you do.

    Anyway, good to see GC knock over Sydney...lets hope we get the job done tonight and stay safe 'SWYL'...

    edit: just checked the youtube vid..pretty certain it was a grass strip when I went there and at the end of the strip where you see that cliff face there was an old smashed up plane that miscalculated left there just as a reminder.

    Haha. I can visualize all that. What were you in?

    ATR 72 or a Jet?

    Right. Well they are going to get thrown around. I would be screaming to, asking ladies for a kiss. 

    There was a Tiger Air plane that got hit by lightning just out of Melbourne i read. That can be very dangerous!!

    • 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.
