Strong team win from a tough  scrambly game  ... on top of a short break. Class does show through !

Two wins in Adelaide - who else has done that?

 Inexplicable umpiring at times!

Bring on Brisvegas!

    Incredible effort. Surely we've just done something no club has ever done before - knock of both of a non Vic state's sides over there in consecutive weeks.

    Great effort to beat both Adelaide clubs in 5 days. Major confidence builder. Awesome stuff Melbourne!

    What a trip for the club. Take the points and get the hell out of there!

    Strange night on the stats sheet again. Lots of players down on numbers. Got it done though

    2 from 2 in Adelaide 💪🔴🔵😈

    Two from two.  Not "2 from 2".  Poor English.

    Great effort by the boys tonight. Up against a team with extra players, short break, banged up and a playing in front of a hostile crowd. Great to get the win and now have a little extra rest before we are back at home!

    Was not hoping for nerves in that qtr but we would have been gassed and held them up really well in the end.

    We take 4 points and won both games in Adelaide, with only 5 days break. Can’t imagine that was pencilled in at the start of the year.  Can’t argue with that! How good is McVee? Caleb was impressive.

    Great effort boys - bring on the Lions then a well deserved break.

    Not one for a 'Name a Game' VHS but great to win ugly off a 5 day break and three extra players for the Crows.

    Blake Howes being a gun defender was not on my 2024 bingo card but I'm all for it.

    Would have taken 3-3 before opening round and most certainly after it, to be 4-2 or 5-1 at the bye is a HUGE result for this team. Our best is yet to come.

    Steven May take an absolute bow. What a star!!!

    A great team performance, against the umps, off a 5 day break, against a team that desperately needed a win at their home ground. 
     

    So proud of this club, after all the garbage we had thrown at us this off season, we didn’t let it impact us instead we said “watch this” 🫡

    Stuck it up the Afl.

    A win was all we needed. I knew Adelaide were going to be competitive as they were under enormous pressure coming into this game.

    Trac was our best by a fair margin. He set the tone in the first half. Windsor continues to impress. His composure is next level for a 5th gamer.

    Winning two games in Adelaide within five days is a bloody good effort if you ask me.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
