Melbourne approached this game in mid 2018 with more than a touch of arrogance and, in the end, paid dearly for their hubris.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
