    Very average performance so far against poor opposition. 

    The only positive that can now come from this game is if we manage to get through injury free. 🤞🤞🤞

    And our effort (especially tackling in forward 50) is the worst it’s been all year.

    Serious question frankie_d . . . are there any this year? 

    Win take the four points and go home. Nothing else matters. Save your best for when you need it.

    Id be very interested to have a look at the centre bounce and stoppage attendances that quarter. To my eye we tried a lot of different things.

    I know Dees are not playing but will take 44 point lead in Perth anytime.  Top of ladder 8 zip reading some posts you would think it a calamity. You can’t be at the top of your game every week.

    It's 3/4 time and we've tripled their score.  Lot of needless angst in this thread (as usual).

    Seriously Goodwin should give them a little spray. We should be smashing this team by 80 points at least.

    My heart sank when Bowey got it. I thought no he can't get concussed and miss next week. 

    Trac needs to work on his goal kicking. Hasn't been great the past few weeks. 

    Lets hope for a dominating final term

    • 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.
