Not sure North are a rabble. 

Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach.

I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill

    North in the 70’s lost the first 6 games and then made the GF

    ’76 i think

    This piqued my interest and given the time I have on my hands, I looked it up on AFL Tables.

    In '76, they lost the first three games.  In '75, they lost the first four before going on to their first flag.

    They never lost the first six in the period 1974-78 when they made the GF every year.

    Luke Jackson, generational. What a loss for us 

    He’s a freak; but, sadly, we knew that.

    When he starts to run with the ball a bit and kick more he’ll tear matches apart.

    Another JT special.

    Apparently half the leagues recruiters didn’t have him as a top 5 pick back in 2019.

    May be top of the iceberg.
    Taylor called a beauty and wore a lot of criticism for it.

    Don't think we need to clap for Jackson this year.

    Fair chance ! The front on vision will [censored] him. He braced and turned into Cunningham in my view.

    No attempt to spoil or mark.

    • 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.
