My team Brisbane is up near the top. 

Yes they look like big improvers

some good needs based recruiting seemingly paying off handsomely at this point in Neale and Cameron 

brings a tear to my eye when I consider the meagre returns from our recent recruiting and also whether it has been really addressing our key needs

    That Don Tyson bloke from Norf would be very handy depth at the moment. 

    That Martin fellow would make an ideal back up for Gawn.

    The AFL are real happy because we play sides that are above us each week. ( Just like they did not tell us that it was not a 4 game JLT season)

    So I suppose next week will be match of the year.

    I know the club has turned me into a total pessimist but it already has a Carlton feel about it. Had a good year, thought they were good things and recruited for a flag and then had to rebuild.

    50% lol 

    Yep that’s not easy to fix - of course it’s all academic unless we start winning games consistently 

    I remember 2017 well % at the pointy end of the season can equate to one win - 80 point losses are almost equivalent to two losses

    • 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.
