    And for more good measure round 4, 2021 when we beat them 12.13.85 vs 9.6.60. 

     

     

    Had we kicked straight it would have been another mauling.

    Max's third quarter is my highlight of the year after the gf. He just set it alight & I loved his tackling pressure to. 

    That was just awesome & I don't care how sick they were.

    That is fantastic, I hadn't noticed that before!  Also Langdon's glee is absolutely priceless.

    I saw a headline recently where Jed Bews was putting the cats mystery illness down to something they caught in the resort spa …. “ I think the spa got us ….” 😂

    Love how the cats “haven’t used the ‘illness’ as an excuse” while using it as an excuse. 

    They deserve to have a long losing run against us.

    PF last year was one of my all time favourite games. Smacking Geelong, given the history of being on the other end, Max going bananas kicking 5 and being in a relaxed state knowing we would be in a GF Midway through the 3rd qtr where all foreign concepts to me. I loved it

    A very enjoyable and stress free game. We completely pantsed those arrogant knobheads.

    Ending the game with 5 AA's on the bench just rubbed salt into the wound. Like an NBA side resting their starters once the game is won.

    The prelim gets forgotten a bit because of the glory of the granny but it was our best win in 57 years for a week.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
