Gee its very low scoring. Lets hope next week we have geelong at 4 goals during the 3rd quarter and we have dominated. Hawkins set shot he missed at the beginning of the 3rd he would have kicked that against us. 

Part of me wants the cats to win.

    I’m normally critical of most things the AFL do but I fully support their efforts to open up the game more and get less crowding around the ball.

    It's a one-game sample (last night's game wasn't overcrowded or over congested), it's humid (players have said this during breaks and they're clearly struggling to grip and mark the ball) and both sides are sending strong pressure.

    The game is opening up as we move into the third, too.

    eagles at $7 is great odds imo they won’t lose at home so should finish top 2 

    Yeah, not many teams beat the Eagles at home.

    Hold on a second...

    Would be better if they are zip and two and are two and zip.

    How good is it not to see a swarm of team runners on the ground zoning?

    Looks much more like footy is supose to look like.  With 6-6-6, all they need to do is further limit the number of interchange and it might actually be reconisable as Australian Rules Football.

    • 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.
