    Gee we're looking better this week.

    our forward line looks dangerous.

    Now for four quarters of this and we should crack all 25 of the port players

    Relatively good first quarter compared to our expectations. 2 tall forwards is clearly our best setup.

    Our midfield is in disgusting form, which is the key reason we're in a flat patch right now. Trac tries to do too much and Clarry is also below his best. Viney is a massive worry.

    May immense.


    Fix our set shots and we’ll win every week!

    35 to 21 according to my stats

     

    The umpiring is atrocious! How can you get a free kick when the guy falls over into Tmacs knees and he was trying to get out of the way! Motlop’s throw for their second goal!! I am beyond frustrated

    Funny not one commentator has said anything yet the game against the Dons which was nowhere near as lobsided got a lot discussion.


    I think we started well, and I’m really glad we got reward for effort as I thought we were the better team.

    The game style against us is now obvious. Short chip kicks through the zone. Try and tire us out defending. Makes our stoppage work super important.

    Amazing the difference when we win the centre clearances. The last 3 were great. 

    Just our field kicking has been off. Viney needs to be better in that department. 

    Salem started well.

    It’s 35-21 marks Port’s way.

    9 more uncontested possessions so unsurprising.

    Should have been below the knee if anything.

    Yeah it flashed up on the screen thought it was the whole quarter, but was just for the last 10mins of quarter.

    Best start weve had in weeks

    8 frees to 5. 

    so many not awarded to us and heaps of theirs simply not 

    Gotta admit these maggots have no shame.


    We’re switched on which is good. BBB not involved yet but another tall in there clearly is helping with structure.

    Brayshaw's tackle pressure is up but been pretty dumb giving 2 costly free kicks away. Needs to be a bit smarter but a good start. 

    Charlie Spargo is so good at the toby Greene move.

    Ah yeah just saw that that, thanks ?

    Teams try to control the ball rather than bomb it in to lever and may.  Probably makes that stat lopsided

    I know because I was swearing at the TV and then realised it was only 10 minutes ?

    • 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.
