Go Saints.   We would pull even on points with Geelong if they lose tonight and we beat the Pies.

And Im sure we all wanna see Geelong miss the finals in general anyway.

    I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

    Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

    pies have rested moore and reid for the crows, lost four more to injury and brought bad the great man lynden dunn for his first game in two seasons

    Go the Crows !!!


    I reckon the saints are more likely to slide down the ladder. So I’m ok with the cats winning. 
     

    Saints are majorly overrated

    Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

    Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

    They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

    Saints getting belted. Lovely. Wouldn't surprise me to see them tumble out of the 8 with the run home they have. 

    Hawkins 5 goals straight

    Saints dropped 12% and are now only 2% above us.

    Saints total pus tonight. Great to see.

    Who knows what to make of this season.

    Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

    Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

    If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

    Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

    “Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
     After siren.
    “your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

    Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

    Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

     

    This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
     

    Stuff St.Kilda. Inconsistent at best.

    Hope Freo beat the hawks.

    • 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.
