Someone needs to turn the lights off for 30 minutes so we can get this game back on our terms.

    This game day thread is a great reminder of why I don’t often read the game day thread.

    It’s ok to acknowledge the competition is tough, and we are a big scalp. Have some faith. 

    I understand what you are saying but I really do believe we are playing well below our best and quite lucky to be in front. Hopefully we will run over them but what we've bought thus far isn't great. Our backline looks like it did against Essendon almost.

    If Langdon is getting tagged we could send him forward and use Fritsch on a wing to get him in to the game.

    Otherwise I’d like to see Fritsch as a lead up half forward and the instruction to kick to the leads rather than bomb it

    The Suns have come to play so we need to roll the sleeves and get to work this half.


    Our lowest contested possession count in a half for over 3 years. Hmm.  Can’t believe its less than Port 2020 but there you go.

    You can see the hangover from the 90 point win with how many stationary handballs and Hollywood stuff. 

    Pickett cleaning up a very bad decision from Chandler there 

    Shut up Dunstall you [censored].

    Goody needs to do something here. Turners 2nd game. Lever mia and May struggling.

    Anyone who’s watched Disco at Casey knows he’s not a deep defender on big talls.

    That’s not a fair match up.

    No 3rd up from Lever either

    Put Petty back FFS. It’s going to cost us the game if Goodys not careful

    • 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.

      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.
