haha what a scramble that last 10 minutes was. 

Saints would be absolutely gutted to lose that. Cairns strikes again (hopefully in Melbourne's favour this time around)!

    SO glad we don’t do cairns anymore! Players looked knackered. Be intersting to see if both teams fall away next week.

    Is that the first game where the inside 50 count for both teams exceeded their respective scores?!

    That was a slog.

    I wouldn't say the Saints shot themselves in the foot. If they tried they would have missed

    The last 11 scores were points - 7 to Port and that’s the game.

    Lets hope the folks at Paramount didn’t catch that one…

    I only saw the last few minutes of the Saints Port game in Cairns.   
    Just awful skills - presumably contributed to by humidity and heat?

    Maybe helps explain (if not excuse) our awful showings there and after in 2020?

    Anyway, Saints will need the full week to recover it would appear. And then maybe not quite. Rather like some of our flat lining after Darwin games.

    Maybe the debilitating effects of playing in a very narrow loss in tropical Cairns, will offset the disadvantage to us of having (perhaps) 5 players returning from Covid next round.

    They are tying to play like Melbourne, problem is they watched last weeks tape.

    Darcy gems:

    kicks it to Steele - ooh he’s a good player

    to Boak - such a good player

    you can tell he is a student of the game

    I heard him label a few solid players 'Champion' again last night.

    There were no 'He's kicked an impossible goal!' last night though which is a welcome change. Not sure why he still thinks it's impossible after he calls one nearly every game.

    Do you know what's the replacement home game for the Alice one?

    Saints looked really cooked in the heat and humidity of Cairns. Wonder what the effect would be on them if they had a few instances of Covid19 through the club this week?

    More like strong polycarbonate. I'd prefer Alice to sweaty Cairns  by a very wide margin.

    • 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.
