I wanted to discuss this. Iā€™m piecing together snippets and wonder if anyone has more info. We played monday night v WC  ( late) flew bk the same night into Melb, probably arriving Tues  at 6-7 am? 

Once we got bk weā€™ve had to go into 72 hours of iso so Adelaide are allowed to come over. So lets  say that ended Friday lunch time. 

I heard Gawn speaking saying weā€™re having. training run Sat and thatā€™s it! Thatā€™s a massive disruption isnā€™t it?  Meanwhile Adelaide have a week w everything as normal. How do players deal w injuries, do rehab, fitness etc etc? 

I guess if we come out a bit rusty weā€™ve got to cut them a bit of slack. Glad itā€™s Adelaide not Geelong.

    I would suspect we are in a tampering off for finals period now, fitness will be in a maintenance phase mainly through games.

     So maybe not such a big disruption...

    If youā€™re premiership worthy then you will play any team, anywhere, anytime ā€¦ and win.

    Was wondering the same when I heard Gus during his podcast (I think it was Wednesday) that he was still tired a little. They had a training run on Wednesday at Goschs judging by the videos on the MFC site. May also said thereā€™s a Captainā€™s Run today.

    They trained fully on Wednesday and had a captains run today.

    Honestly,  I have no issues with our preparation this week. We learnt a great deal last year and handled it fine.

    No 8-hour flight or 7-day quarantine...could be tricky!

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“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 ā€” something they havenā€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyā€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearā€™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

      ļ»æA 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 ā€œFuchsias.ā€ 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.
