Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

 
 

We have not got out of second gear in that quarter with not a lot of work or cover out of our midfield. Defence is standing tall with May just amazing with the game he has played so far. I hope he holds up.

gave away that late goal which is a bummer but generally not too bad given our lack of pressure and lack of drive from the middle.

I expect us to step up in this quarter and get the game on our terms.

No panic. play our game.

Last week's game was almost finals like.

I fear we are flat

Just what the Afl wanted.

Five day break after that game is a joke .


Midfield getting smashed again just like against Port. Surely we’re due to turn this around?

They were always going to come out firing

7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

i’ll take that!

Though Adelaide inside 50 is dreadful. Low quality entries.


Need to reset on how we go inside 50.

Get the smalls to the fall of the ball and get it in quicker, flood or no flood, defences wilt if you get it in quick.

Also need to stand up in the midfield, as we’re getting monstered with the inside 50 count.

Midfield need to lift bigtime


This game is for Adelaides season survival essentially. They aren’t good on the road so can’t really afford to drop many home games. They’re coming hard but we got this.

They are clogging us up

Did well to stay close

Suspect their is s 3-4 goal breeze to the cheer squad end

Go Dees!

Getting belted in clearances and inside 50s 

really pathetic display so far 

Settle down 


Settle people, if we had got reward for our tackling we'd be 3 goals up

Started well but intensity dropped off mid way. Terrible kick from Rivers at that stage of the quarter. 

McVee has been great despite one  Rankine goal. 

May some great marks. 

Can we play BBB out of the square? Looks unnatural him chasing down defenders.

    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.
