Jones - led by example

Yes

T.McDonald - great first half

Yep ... and the same degree of effort was there in the 2nd half

Harmes - loved his application 

Here we go

Salem - was all class

Petracca - had limited involvement 

Really classy but can do more ... the last quarter handpass to Jones was the game-ender though - Kudos.

Tyson - tried and failed

Played well and played his part.

Fritsch - was rarely sighted

Standout moments as usual - vital player

Hibberd - dynamic when needed

Yep

Spargo - tired and overawed

The 22nd player picked was not disgraced

Manzel had like 1 touch and then he smashed Ablett. Jetta is so underrated it’s a joke. Best small defender in the competition by a mile.

  • 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.
