Just an outstanding, all team performance.  Total ‘buy-in’ by every player out there.  I can’t think of a weak link in tonight’s performance .  

 

 

When we turn the ball over, watching the whole team run back to defend, while staying in formation, is a thing of beauty. Unbelievable discipline and fitness

 

 

 

Strange old game. GWS dominated the first quarter with clearances and inside 50s but were kept goalless! Much of that credit needs to go to Stephen May. What a footballer this guy is.

Then once our midfield pulled their finger out we had 12 goalkickers.

Good time to be alive Demon supporters!

 

Pretty impressive of Tommy Mac that even though he is competing with Weid for a spot, twice when he was within range he dropped it short for Weid 


Spargo was everywhere - I thought i saw him getting a drink out of my fridge....

Tomlinson looked underdone this year but Petty looked better than ever.

Any argument about who should play was put to bed today.

But how many teams could boast having Tomlinson as a back up KPP defender.  Or even Weed as the same role forward?  

Goodness knows who will be the truly unlucky defender when Salem returns.

Where do we do sit?

A game clear on top.


Was it a coincidence that after the ridiculous 50m penalty against Clayton in the 3rd the boys fired up and slammed on the goals?

All credit to Goodwin.
I've been a critic but that's all in the past.

How long till all the coaches are on the boundary line?

Great post on goodwin.

Ross lyon stated before gf last year that goodys boundary line coaching could cosy us a win.

Hard to see where the next loss is coming from to be honest!

As long as Bowey stays on the park well be right...


I was thinking during that game sparrow may need a rest but then he did that beautiful assist & played well.

Sick of reading on social media the Melbourne supporters didn't show up, there undefeated, the reigning premiers & typical Melbourne of there supporters. I'm putting it down to Easter, school holidays, people can now travel, people still hate the fact you just can't rock up & buy a ticket, the comedy festival was on, storm were playing & not everyone wants to come to a night game especially if you are relying on public transport to go home.

Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also have you noticed the stories about Goodwin and his bullying antics have suddenly stopped?

An Easter Saturday evening game vs GWS was never going to be conducive to crowd numbers. Not sure what it is with the AFL and scheduling our Easter weekend games vs GWS or Suns. Either way, who cares.

Sparrow is just a ripper. The tap back to Frisch was pure team. 
 

Awesome to watch.

Amused me listening to the radio at half time.
Boundary rider saying that he's been watching the melbourne bench.
Every player that comes off Goodwin gives 'em a pat on the back and abit of positive pep talk.
Mark William behind him using his .... "Language." 
Instant feedback from both coaches.

 

At some stages tonight we looked like the Harlem Globetrotters. Maybe they should play Sweet Georgia Brown over the speakers as the side runs out. 

We made the GWS ferrari look like a clapped out trabbie.

Disregard the tap - the fact that he even got to that contest after being at half back when the ball was kicked was nothing short of remarkable.

  • 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.
