The 4 points should go to May. A deadset one man fortress.

(But to be fair, Salem, Trac, Rivers, Langdon, Lever and Weed were also great ).

A lot of passengers, though. Which is disappointing, but also kind of promising - imagine who we can beat if they get involved!

 

The back line as a whole did a magnificent job.

    The backline was incredible. We got shown up by the Dogs last week in terms of defending the width of the ground but we clearly lifted today. 

    May should get 3 Brownlow votes. Lever and Hibberd weren't far behind. Rivers played well too.

    Steven May trade is a massive, massive win

    Rivers looks very good too

    We've got a real player there in Rivers.  Love his dash and courage, and he is a good user of the footy as well.

    Don't want to hear another word about the trade for May, i think his performances over the season and especially tonight have justified the pick 6.

    A trade special.

    And, if you go back and take a look, some shockers in the changes thread as well.

    That was a big tick for Goodwin tonight.

    Very happy, just a strange game and not used to seeing us win like that.

    Yes i 100% agree.

    Was impressive to be able to stop Aints scoring and actually rebound and control the game.

    Lucky I went to the bottle shop and stocked up today.   Ugly game,  take the win,  turnover still a massive issue

  • Quote

    First time under Goodwin that we executed a specific gameplan for a specific side. Some horrendous turnovers as we tried to implement a possession game with our skill set, however that was a confidence builder. Reminded me of what Geelong did to us. Denied the oppo their 1 wood first and foremost

    Big step - when was the last time we reversed the momentum and got the game back on our terms and won an arm wrestle? Probably 15 years. 

    i thought we were going lose by 5 goals about 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

    Tough game to  watch in the last quarter however the Dees  did it for all of us supporters.

    May and Petracca  were the two best players on the ground and couldn't split them. 

    I want to give some credit to Josh Wagner he was consistent all night and he can hold his head high. Well done Josh.

    • 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.
