    No Danger, Cameron, Parfitt for them first time round, but now they're missing Stewart, Duncan & Tuohy.

    We didn't have Brown, Harmes or Bowey

    Hawkins smashed May’s eye socket… so for this VDB and Jones last game, time to put some pre finals hurt on, Hawkins and Selwood at the top of the list. Personally I don’t have it in for Danger.

    I swear to god there isn’t a team in the competition I despise more deeply than this mob. Beating them in finals in 2018 is my fondest footy memory. May 2021 see that memory topped and their old team pushed aside into retirement as they should.

    Wow. Half our backline is out from that game. We're no chance.

    Of course! We're the best team in the comp and have been since round 6.

    Must be sarcasm. Would have assumed it was from round 1?

    Ah yes, I dimly recall us smashing flag favourites Fremantle and taking the mantle of "best team in the comp" on the day. 

    But honestly, the first time I thought "Hey we might have something here" was reeling in that gap the Saints created in round 2. Definitely gonna rewatch that game in Grand Final week (should we make it) because I think that was when we truly arrived.

    Ah yes back when people thought Saints could win the flag. Good times.

    You have been clear on this point - When it looked like there is a possibility of playing them 4 times in one year, I must admit it did occur to me to worry for you.  😁

    Bombers easily for me, Cats second. West Coast and Port are now also in my top 8 of most despised.

    Mine goes… Essendon, five Lapland summers (ie. 24/7 daylight), then every other team.

    Just looking at the 12 top ranked Cats players (AFL site) only two, Cam Guthrie and Menegola, are under 30 years of age.

    Guthrie is 28 and Menegola is 29.

    Scott will be praying for that bye.

    My Taliban is Essendon by a long way, (even the club nickname is disgusting-an indiscriminate killing device) but still a hierarchy of loathing after that, Carlton (despite their flourishing mediocrity), WCE, Adelaide, and Hawthorn.

    Dislike: Geelong (more from being a protected species and good for a long time) Roos

    Non plussed about: Dogs Lions Swans Saints Tigers GWS Port

    Amiable intent: Freo (continue to spoil us as our trading bunnies).

    Pity: Suns

    Shakespearean Rage: For family reasons Collingwood, they are our Capulets (without any Juliet).

    Maybe he should incorporate two nana-naps into their training instead of one.

    Not sure we should be helping - I used to think the Spanish were mad lazy buggers for having siesta. I now realise they are inspired geniuses, love my nana nap (when I can get one!

    Samesies! Never met a nap I didn’t like.

    • 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.
