    The occasional spark, mostly Kozzie - a star - but we seem down on basic confidence and dare. Still waiting for the Demons bulldozer to start up…it’s possible but hard to replicate a finals run like last year.

    Great performance by our backline. May and Hibberd in particular were rock steady and Tomlinson looked at home in the absence of Petty.

    Kozzy has been threatening to tear a game apart like this since his first year. Unreal performance.

    .having not seen a second of this game did we wear our indigenous jumper seeing as we were in the Alice?

    No Oliver no worries. Will be a handy in next week.

    4 points that's all we need

    Fair dinkum, it’s hard to please some people. Those who want to keep digging for negatives good luck to you, Mondays are always better with a win.

    No one said doing a repeat is easy, most should be happy we are at least giving ourselves a chance.

    Those thinking the win was average or not too impressive. Port were 7-3 coming the game. If they lose they are basically out of finals. They had only one injured player

    enjoy the win guys

    Just glad to get the win against a plucky Port without Clarry.

    Absolutely DZ. I prefer to think this is the kick start needed.

    We’re the worst 13-4 team! But a win is a win.

    Given there are only two 13-4 sides with just a few % points between them I would say we are equal best...

    How is levers shoulder?

    Didn’t want to raise his arm during the song to put it around May’s shoulder. So not good 

    Very brave to play on. I reckon he’ll be out next week. Hopefully only one week but who knows

    What a grinding win that was.

    Kossie, you are a little ripper. 3 Votes for you.

    Forward connection still a problem. Thank heavens for our backline.

    Melk.... your chase/rundown was something i didnt think you had in you.

    I'll take that.

    I liked it, too.

    Traditional today and thats the way it should be outside of the designated indigenous games.

    Solid win without Petty, with Lever injured and obviously without Oliver, considering Port can still make finals.

    The season is a grind at times and this game exemplified it.

    We werent much better last year at this point. Just grinding out wins - which is absolutely vital. It’s frustrating to watch when you know we have other gears. But at the end of day, regardless of how we win at this point, supporters should be happy. Top 4 is the aim. We have some big games coming up.

    • 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.
