    Could history repeat and Petty get another game against St Kilda.

    I'd like to see how all the players lined up in their starting positions.  And how they went.

    As long as history doesn't repeat as to the result and how we played in this game last year, then he is welcome to get another game!

    How often has a player played his first two games against the same side?

    Probably our most frustrating game of the season last year. However, the FD took some vital lessons from that game and it was the last time a team kicked a big score on us in 2018 before the PF (although Geelong scored 100pts exactly against us thanks to Tuohy's last kick).

    Agree, but the problem is the same problems St Kilda exposed last year were exposed by Port, Geelong and Essendon this year.

    If we play St Kilda like we played those first three clubs, we'll lose.

    If we can take the form we showed against Sydney and defend the MCG like we defended the SCG, I think we will win.

    St Kilda are on a roll. I, as I’m sure many others, had them penciled in for bottom 4 this year. And while they haven’t beaten the best teams, they are full of confidence and have a good track record against us. 

    We need to win these games to stay in touch with finals. But it won’t be easy.

    And it probably didn't help that we kicked the first 3 goals of the game. From that point the players probably saw it as a percentage booster.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
