Just back from the supermarket. Saw a Dees fan wearing the guernsey with pride as heโ€™s doing the weekly shop. Great to see.

    Didnโ€™t see the game but Iโ€™m happy Brisbane beat Adelaide in the womens final. The Crows got home finals because of a soft draw and got lucky playing us in the prelim when they did as we were exhausted from backing up against some strong teams for a few weeks straight. Brisbane had to play a few road games at the end of the H&A season due to the covid outbreak up there so they didn't have it easy. Well done to them.

    We beat both finalists so the future is bright, just need to find a KPF to help translate our possession and I50's into goals.

    That means zero we were not in the GF because we were not good enough to win the prelim. Simple really.ย

    I hope it was not in Collingwood or Richmond he may not make it home in one piece.

    We would have beat the Crows at Casey in a prelim. We belted just a few weeks ago there. They got lucky with their draw. Simple really.

    Rankine, Lukosius, Noah Anderson... early days but i just dont see it in any of them.ย 

    A shame for the Suns as they could have taken Luke Jackson instead of Anderson.ย  I know people will point to their stats and Andersons ball winning ability but I say see you in a few years.

    I understand what you are saying but we still did not beat crows in the prelim. Why? Not good enough when it really mattered.

    Lukosius is literally Jack Watts 2.0, sublimely skilled but weak as [censored]. Was recruited as a forward but very quickly moved to half back/wing.

    Yes I was going to compare him to Watts, you nailed it.ย ย  Rankine is lazy but thinks hes prime Jason Akermanis.

    In their defense though it would be hard being drafted to that club especially with little support for the younger players.ย  I guess thats why they bough in Ellis, Greenwood and the like but you have to wonder if they will ever take the next step.

    Did you give him a little "Go Dees" to show him hes not alone and you are one of his kind. I like to do that, makes me feel like i am a Freemason.

    On the day we weren't good enough. Still glad the Crows didn't win today. They had home advantage and couldn't seal the deal.ย

    I did. We acknowledged each other and then both continued on with our shopping.

    Hopefully there's reason for a few more Dees guernseys to start to emerge. I've been wearing the scarf to work this week and have had a few acknowledgments.

    I would've sidled up andย given him a sly little "PositiveLingers" out of the corner of my mouth. You're not a real Melbourne supporter if you don't know what PositiveLingers means.

    Just turned on the TV ย - saw Sydney and some artificial teamย in black. Wondered who the hell it was before realising that some moron in AFL HQ must think orange clashes with white and red.ย 
    Certainly for those who believe in the concept of โ€œplaying for the jumperโ€ could explain why GW$ย seems so meaningless and lacking in purpose. ย

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0โ€“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 โ€” something they havenโ€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyโ€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearโ€™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

      ๏ปฟA 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.ย  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the โ€œFuchsias.โ€ 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.
