About as many times as he has got them right.

Nah. Not even close. Tom McDonald’s great but that’s his glaring weakness. He over rates his kicking ability.

    100+ win or extra training session as punishment 😜

    Nibbler and Koz started very well. Need to be smart going forward. Barrass and McGovern are both very smart players.

    Great start from the boys. Can’t afford to drop the intensity. 
     

    Midfield switched on today. Still need to clean up a bit on F50 connection, but the pressure has been outstanding in fwd half.

    Perfect game to work on lowering the eyes. Midfielders getting goal side a bit more than they might normally. The eagles are as bad as we were at our worst. It’s bringing back bad memories of them doing  the same to us years ago at the g one [censored] afternoon

    Trac looks intense - trying to make sure the boys play Dees footy for four quarters

    Underwood is the female equivalent of BT


    Just punch it through Dogga. Steven May giving him what-for about that.

    EDIT - or just let it go through! 
    And he's learned and is now running away from the defensive 50 like Cale Morton runs away from Brendon Lade.

    Petracca's blind kick into the 50 isn't good enough there.

    Fritsch should have kicked to Kossie's advantage.

    • 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.
