Kinda felt like Carlton played better that quarter.

What a damn shame they're 7 points down to show for it.

    Our zone is starting to kick in. The Baggers were picking through us way too easily in the first 10 minutes.

     

    I take it from the comments that BT is being BT. You can't go wrong with the mute button folks


    You can see with Chandler coming in why they prefer a settled side. Can't question his effort, but throws a bit of a spanner in the well-oiled machine. Unless I'm reading it wrong, they wanted Jones in for Melksham, and you can understand why.

    Chandler is off the pace at the moment so I'll cut him some slack. You'd expect it'll take him a quarter or two to get in to a rhythm with the game and the team. The Gawn/Brown one was a shocker though.

    Great mark from Weid at the end of the quarter, and great kick to TMac. 

    The part missing for me is the voice from Brown on the first one and then other fwds for Chandler to stay down. 
    Better voice all round and it’s 2 shots on goal or goals.

    I love how we've finished, and paced games this year but gee we look a little slow out of the blocks. I hope it's not complacency. 

    The Blues are NOT THAT BAD. They only lacked polish and experience against the Doggies, and we only just scraped past them last year (I know we are a different team know), so they should not be underestimated.

    Yes we should beat them, yes we're a much better side, but these things often mean nothing. Got to keep up the pressure today.

    Yep...two rookie errors there.  He'll learn but wouldn't want to make too many more this match

    Yep - I swore at Gawn in the first instance but then thought maybe it was just a lack of player talk; Brown's job as the leading in forward to call Gawn in or out. Happy to apportion equal blame to two experienced players though.


    Free to carlton when we were about to clear.

    FMD they are looking for the smallest holds at centre clearance. 


    Looks like the holding the ball correction starts today

    • 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.
