    We will see what occurs over the next 4 to 5 weeks to answer that correctly.

    So you don't rate the demons then. If you're still unsure, then you already know the answer.

    In 5 weeks you will be saying exactly the same thing. 
    We are 4-0 without a key forward

    Some thoughts:

    1. How many who are sticking the boot into St Kilda this year used the phrase "they've gone past us" last year?
    2. I haven't watched the game but Sydney's loss probably suggests they are going to have off days when their kids play poorly. They're not a strong defensive side so if they don't score they'll struggle to win.
    3. There is so much talk about Richmond in this thread. We're not playing Richmond this week.
    4. Tomorrow is a huge game for us.

    The amount of times I’ve heard the Saints and Blues have gone past us in the past year. 

    play the long game guys. We have the better squad. Obviously it is yet to be seen if we will be successful but we are well ahead of those two atm

    Totally. I was incredibly frustrated to see the Saints playing finals footy last year while we were in no mans land, but at no stage did I think what they were doing was sustainable.

    I've never thought the Blues were ahead of us, even in 2019.

    Ladder position at this stage is highly influenced by the draw and form of teams in the early season. Doggies have had a good early draw, and, to their credit, have “filled their boots” (as the Could—a-beens would say) . These distortions ease or can be seen by Round 8-9, we’re doing ok (as are the doggies), but it’s early days in season 2021. 
    interestingly, if we were to assault this year for a flag we’d have to confront the Tiger dynasty and overcome it. Loved being reminded that Mark Williams flag ended the Lions dynasty...

    just say’n 

    Go dees

    So Geelong should win tomorrow, but that will leave Brisbane in 9th despite being 2-3. They finish with 4 at home, too. They should be able to set themselves up for a serious tilt this year despite the bad start.

    As to our start: Geelong will win tomorrow, which will mean we've beaten 9th, 10th or 11th (depending if Fremantle wins), 12th and 13th, with 17th as well if we win tomorrow. Our opponents have a joint record of 10-10 (a Geelong win tomorrow makes it 11-10, if we win tomorrow it will be 12-14).

    It's not a terribly weak start. If we win, we'll only have played one of the current bottom five.

    • 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.
