Yep that flick was far too cute. It's times like this where we're prone to complacency thinking it's already all locked up.

I think the flip has worked well the problem was the lack of a melbourne player running through there.

Bad last 5 mins

We slacked off a lot more than five minutes it was just that the kicked their goals in the last few mins. They had lots of the ball just kicked inaccurately during the quarter.

    How has everyone seen T-Mac so far?

    Servicable

     

    We were outplayed for most of the second half of the quarter. It's actually a relief they didn't score more against us. Hopefully we can get back on top through the middle.
    BTW I really like Rivers - he looks a keeper.

    Melksham and Jones quiet, need to do more.


    Disappointing that we let them back in the game. We are up by 5 goals a comfortable lead but not a match winning lead. Lets hope we find our first quarter form.

    Quiet with good little bits, hasn’t really been in many contested marking situations. I’d like to see a bit more from him in the 2nd half.

    Rivers looks very good, Jackson has wow factor!

    Rivers does look good. Jackson is thereabouts. It's a big ask to have a first year player chopping out in the ruck. I'd love to see him snag a goal.

    Struggling with the pace of ball movement so fumbled a couple but he is getting into the right positions and hopefully the nerves settle. 

    Thanks, lets hope he can get in the the game?


    41 points up only a small big lead lot easier to come back from, after the first 7 goals ever side is certain to kick the next few goals fact of football.


    Knuckle up Melbourne 

     

    Whats with the fumbling

    • 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.
