Cats dominated but missed easy shots.  Tough contest.  Rozee looks impressive.

    If Chris Scott was a NBA coach he would have been sacked years ago, they don't rate coach's that get teams into play off but get knocked out early year after year.

    Is it just my imagination, or does anyone else think that Ebert looks like Warren Entner from the Grass Roots (US pop group late 60s .... classic song "Midnight Confessions")  ?

    OMG can’t believe the Felocentric umpiring.  
    Geelong gets all the soft ones, and Port can’t get a half chance.

    How does Hawkins get away with blatantly pushing people in the back in the ruck in the forward line?

    Port home now.

    God I love Butters. He’s all class and has the right amount of mongrel and crash to go with the skills and pace. I’d trade anyone on our list for him outside Petracca and Oliver.

    Does Chris Scott need a win to keep his job? His finals record isn’t great 7-11 (not including this game) when 3 of the 7 were his first year in charge back in 2011. So 4-11 in 9 years with one of the best teams over the decade. 
    He might want to escape with the aged lost also though

    Pressure in the midfield 

    That’s what Goodwin wants, but we are nowhere near it after 4 seasons

    Great Scott finals record. 
    Hawkins (0.5)  had he kicked straight instead of sulking could have made the difference.

    We were in 2018. Problem back then (and still now) was consitancy in its application. But with the new game plan, that ferocious nature has all but disappeared.

    • 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.
