Much more positive that qtr - great games from Brown Jr and Windsor in their first outing, and Billings ball use has really stood out

    Rivers ball use has been deplorable

    Agree on that,

    Bowy, Rivo, McVee, Billings are going to be integral to our ball movement, would like to see them hit targets consistently.

    Bowey and Billings have been good, surprisingly also Viney.

    I think there were (and are) enough worrying signs against a second string outfit to warrant some panicky posts, pre-season or not.

    It’s our second string outfit too. No Brayshaw, Oliver, Salem, Gawn off the whole quarter, petty, B. Brown, Hunter…it’s funny the argument only applies to our opposition

    But nothing has improved from 2023?

    You can’t reach that conclusion based on what we do in a practice match. 

    It’s not real.

    Has been some good signs and some big flat spots but would be great to finish off with a bit of Thorstrop magic

    Game day threads haven’t, that’s for sure.

    It’s not even. It’s a match simulation 

    True, this is even less real. 

    I mean, what are we playing here, seven “quarters”?

    Did anyone notice any changes or influence, McQualter made on the mids?

    By definition an opportunity to dance with someone else’s sister.


    Anyone here that still think Laurie is an AFL footballer is out of their minds. He had two goes at it then and coughs up a goal. Been unsighted most of the day and when sighted, made many errors 

    K Brown very impressive. Probably starts off in the VFL with such a slight frame though. (I think!)

     

    Bill Laurie… that was a poor passage mate

    Jack Viney has been our best by far today


    Edit: I misread a post and responded to it with confusion. The post was about Laurie so it seems I may have been channeling his play today.

    • 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.
