They definitely overachieved last year, they are still middle of the pack.

That's being generous. Will finish 14th after this round and will be lucky to win three more for the year. Up until about three weeks ago had a great run with the least injuries. Pains me we lost to them but we have at least taken a couple of top teams .

    I mean that they are still far off becoming a serious premiership contender. I believe people in WA drank their own bathwater and really thought they were a chance, just get one unicorn!

    Suns had the chance to take a stranglehold in the first quarter but lousy "connection" has left the door open.

    Saints next 4 games at Marvel. How many games do they play there? Seems they’re there most weeks. 

    They play their next 5 at Marvel !

    They're bog ordinary cant even get into the game against the Suns. Most likely team to drop out of the 8. Only still in it because of their soft fixture.

    Top 2 is out of our reach barring upsets. We also have to win every game. 

    I disagree if Port drop today they are in a little bother.

    Even if they lose today they could only lose 2 more (Geelong and Collingwood). Unless they drop another and we win all our games we can’t mathematically catch them. 

    Our chance is small and we can only blame ourselves but the Local Derby is always a 50/50 game no matter which team is  sitting where on the ladder. Happy if we can just win our last six and sit back and watch.

    Unlikely they drop out of the top 2 but I think the showdown could go either way and GWS may push them as well.

    Can see a dip in performance from them after 13 straight wins, teams can rarely sustain it.

    • 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.
