Can someone tell Petracca we won. Jesus. 

That's a bloke who knows that the job isn't done.  That's the maturity we want.  Be happy with the win, but we need to focus on next week very quickly.

    Shows us that he knew the pressure was on us, knew we were not good enough in Cairns, and knows it's not done yet.

    Funny - if he's going on about how great we are people would criticise him for overcelebrating, wouldn't they?

    Shame on you @dazzledavey and anyone else who wanted us to lose.

    I might get upset with things at the club but always want my boys to win

    Love Rivers and again Spargo showed his worth

    So the way I see it, we need the Hawks to pull their finger out tomorrow, but if not, either the Saints/Dockers winning sees us make the finals (to most likely be embarrassed by a better team, but hey, you never know)?

    Silly me, getting ahead of myself, we also need to win a crunch, do or die, game against a really poor team...

    Both right. Just his tone sounded liked we'd lost.

    I’ve said it before but I love Langers, his kicking less so.  He was so important in that last quarter.

    You have to wonder if we had snuck a bye in like everyone else over the last 8 weeks if we’d have got over the line in at least one of those other games. 

    The energy level was considerably different tonight.

    The Kids did it and that is our future just there.... At least they didn't chuck it in.

    Langdon is a gem. His work rate is unbelievable. 
     

    Rivers is a serious find. 
     

    Fun game to watch. Now we wait.

    100% 

    The exact right approach. We're in a position we shouldn't have been, and we have a lot of work still to do.

    Wonderful recruit.  He was everything we needed on the wing.

    Now, if someone like Baker can also step up to play a consistent game on the wing, then we would REALLY have something.

    Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

    Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

    If only the whole game was just that last quarter. The rest of it made me feel sick. They tried to cheat us out of the win but the boys found a way. Thanks Rivers, Langdon, Trac, Spargo, May....add who you want.

    • 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.
