not a vintage performance but we got the 4 points. that's all that matters

umpiring not good. so blatantly biased. 

looks like May pulled up ok. played well and totally vindicated decision to select him, particularly first half.

4-1 is a great start to the season. we're in a great chance this year folks make no mistake.

Go Dees.

    Never had the misfortune. Can't imagine it'd be fun if you needed to force one out

    Said pregame I didn't care how it looked, just wanted the 4 points and no injuries. 

    Really annoyed at Kozzie tbh. His lack of discipline really hurt us in the sf against Carlton last year and he still does dumb stuff like that. 

    Still very pleased overall though

    I reckon we ran out of petrol off a 5 day break.  Did enough to win, then shut it down.  I’ll take the 8 points and roll on.

    Picket doesn’t seem to have learned anything from his last suspension. 

    Looks like he might miss a week again. 

    He needs to learn from his mistakes.

    That certainly wasn’t pretty and a lot of players well down but that is a great result.

    No reward for our tackling.

    Well done backline.

    Adelaide, mostly individuals, trying to win it by themselves.

    Absolutely. I totally wrote him off at the start of the year, he is looking so bloody solid.

    Good to win in different ways. Kicking for goal was very ordinary tonight. 

    Good team effort. Loved Howes in the last.

    Petracca best on ground.

    Fritta three goals in third.

    McVee in first half.

    Well we definitely know how to win ugly.

    Lets hope for a change and turn it back in to poetry next week

    We were absolutely cooked in the last. We put the foot down in the third knowing we would run out of gas in the last. That last quarter was just professional defensive slog. Brilliant. Don’t underestimate how tough these two games were.

    Just hung on. Our talls helped out with some last gasp marking. We were tired from a frantic port game.

    Job done.

    Huge games from Trac and Maysie.

    Jibba nails those two first half sitters and it doesn't even get close. 

    Poor old BT sounded so deflated at the end. 😂

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
