The Weid has kicked 2

That’s a positive for me

One of them was a gift from that fat explosive guy wearing number 5.

    The make shift backline being ordinary is hardly a surprise. 

    Nor is a shock that Preuss is going to take a while to build his tank.

    The bigger shame is that we’re still making system mistakes.

    - Bombing it forward under little pressure.

    - 2 defenders on to 1 opponent with no impact.

    There’s a bunch of maturing limited players who have shown no improvement as well. Oscar, Frost, ANB, Hunt all bad.

    Yeah. Was hoping to see just a few in and under type things. Tough to do in a half I guess.


    Hunt and stretch not up to it either

    Not as key cogs in a side, though.  Allow them to be role players again and they'll do their job well.

    Wouldn’t say they do their job well.

    Stretch can’t kick and Hunt is not much better


    3 goals in 4 mins

    I like Preuss as a second ruck to Gawn but  as I’ve been saying for months we need another ruck option to cover injuries.

    Keilty has been serviceable, Pedersen would be handy but we need another genuine ruck.

    One player who I reckon has sewn up a spot in Round 1, if he hadn't already, is Fritsch.  He's had a great day.

    • 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.
