    Job done, move on. 
    Still feel like we aren’t clicking and seem to lack some polish, plenty to work on. 
    Port next week will be a great test

    I hope Petty and Petracca are playing.

    Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

    10 of those in the first half and then he just stopped.

    I can still remember 2014 when we lost to them by 50 points but it felt like we’d had a dip. More than happy to have the roles reversed. 
    Loved Trent Rivers’ game today. Vins is having an excellent season. 
    Not sure what Sparrow brings. 
    Go away Jason Dunstall. Sick of having him cheer against us.

    Really feel like petty not playing the second half had a bigger impact than I thought it would, doesn't help that the hawks actually decided to stop playing like a U-16 team for 10 mins

    Rivers was best on ground in terms of exceeding expectations but the Big 3 midfielders were just immense.

    Hibberd slaughtered Breust and May, Lewis. The backline was very good. Clearances remain an issue - can’t understand why given the personnel. Real shame that Petty was subbed out - was looking to be a turning point game for him as a forward. Love what Spargo brings.

    A solid win, but after a couple of soft kills we really need a challenge, bring on Port

    Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.

    Last week was not a soft kill. We got lucky to win.

    A solid win for May's 200th over the horrible Hawks.  Gotta be happy with the result.

    Looks like BBB in for Petty next week

    Tracc 50/50

    That Sicily.... what a [censored] and i don't mean for the Tracc tackle either.  Some of his work off the ball when he feels he's out of the contest is school yard rubbish.

    If you offered me a ten goal win before the game I would have taken it.

    What happened to Trac?

    Rolled ankle.  Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

    It felt like that was the game where Petty kicks a 3-5 goal haul and really gets his confidence up, started clunking them which was nice

    I'm watching back the Kayo coverage and Trac was interviewed and reckons he's fine but just caught in a tackle.

    Hopefully the physios can buff that out

    • 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.
