Cats never miss an opportunity to boost their percentage. Always keep their foot on the throat. It's a lesson we could do with learning

    Yeah well if we had a home ground advantage, and were gifted players like Dangerfield and Cameron we probably would do it.

    Home advantage does make a big difference. Same with West Coast at Optus.

    2 teams I can not stand because they do what they do so consistently:

    Geelong playing like millionaires at home, and 
    The Eagles lacking soul away from home.

    Its been the same for 30 years.

    Eagles should just take the forfeit and save their energy instead of travelling. Fair dinkum letting this Geelong side put this score on the board is embarrassing.

    Imagine if we had an exclusive awkward shaped home ground susceptible to crappy weather and only play interstate and crappy sides at it. We could pencil in an average of a half dozen extra wins a season.

    What ever happens tonight, it’s now factually incorrect that we haven’t beaten anyone of note.

    Geelong are a reigning grand finalist who just beat a contender by 97 pts, and we kept them to 60pts at the G. It was a win full of merit.

    People should now be called out on this narrative if they continue to accuse us of it, if things go south tonight.

    You can only play who your fixtures against.  We have Beaton sides that have Beaton more fancied sides that what we are.  My concern for team development is winning is a habit.  We have shown we pushed we can steady and pull away from sides.

    And geelong mauling of the eagle smakes the Bulldogs wins look less meritorious: Wins:  Pies +16, WCE, +7, NM +128, BL +19, Suns +62 all at Mars/Marvel excdept Pies at the G.  Yet to play a team inside the 8.

    No doubt the Bulldogs are good but not as good as their undefeated run suggests.  Downhill skiers, beating up on the lesser teams; small wins vs last year's finalists.  Their test is yet to come.

    The Suns v Swans game shows that you can't rate a team or club on the performances rounds 1-6. It is rounds 7-12 where things begin to settle, new talent emerges, and those teams building for the finals start to look strong. There is also usually a late bolter for the finals.

    Rankine is SO over-rated. A few good games in 1 season and all the commentators are gushing. 

    Suns are better than everyone thinks, but still not great. 

    Swans came out of the blocks hard. A few injuries and they come right back to the pack. They have talent, and a great coach, but it is a long season for such a young list.

    I hate Geelong.

    I like the Eagles under Simpson, but they are simply unreliable. Their stars are going missing too often.

    Nic Nat better than Gawn. Hahahahahahaha!!

    Their best stars are getting old, not that has slowed down the cats either.  We'll see a mini-rebuild soon to sustain them.  Their massive home grand advantage almost ensures they play finals every year.  Look at last year, couldn't win a game in the hub but still made finals after regrouping.

    You moron Triplechins ... Levi Greenwood is a filth player. The world doesn't revolve around the filth.

    I'm so torn on who I want to see win today in the big game. I like seeing essendon lose and with the pies going the way they are to see them lose would be even better and see Buck's demise just get worse. 

    Maybe a draw would be the best outcome.

    Nice high scoring game at Launceston

     

    Melbourne doesnt get a chance to kick big scores as we play in the wet every week.  Would be nice to play in dry weather for once.

    High scoring but some of the loosest footy I have seen in a long time. It's like Clarkson is using the Hawthorn side as some sort of experimental rabbit. Last weeek defensive and today as loose as guts.

    • 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.
