Good win on the road for the Blues ... a very good win ... powerful 4th quarter. First time beating an Adelaide Club at Adelaide Oval actually.

    Not peaking yet. Still more injured players to come back.

    Nah, peaking now and you don't win flags in May as they always say.

    Also apart from Cerra, Cottrell and Martin they are close to full strength.

    Port are perennial pretenders though, we'll see...

    The original team has been on a training camp miles away and were on their way to the oppo home ground on GameDay. Their bus broke down and because their own town is at about the halfway mark between where they broke down and the oppo home ground but in the opposite direction, it was quicker to round up the misfits and take them to the game in the backup bus. 

    Did you write the script for the ad? 😄

    Agreed. But they are a tough opponent at home in Adelaide.

    I think they’re a team that had a patchy April and May but are now working into the season really nicely as evidenced by their last 2 games.

    I don’t want to play them in a final, if we’re good enough to make it.

    And it doesn’t help that their (Port’s) fans are so loud and there’s so many of them.

    Real talk: I can see them in the GF this year. The side is more balanced then ever and they aren't just scoring from stoppage now (apart from tonight). They've even found a use for Zac Willams now forward. It wasn't long ago when nothing seemed to work out for them, now it seems like its all falling their way. Very good side

    Sounded like almost equal numbers tonight. Hell of a lot of baggers there

    Carlton has a big following in both South Australia and Western Australia, so many club legends over the years hailed from these two states. The Blues will likely be aiming to draft the two Camporeale boys in the next draft (twin sons of Scott Camporeale who was in the 1995 Premiership team).

    Agree. They're quite far from peaking tbh, their last month has been up and down. Sydney are genuinely peaking and couldn't play any better - too early. 

    Blues were my flag tip before it all began and remain so - have all key items covered and their 2nd/3rd string layer are all contributing solidly and knowing their role. They've as a group also discovered the knack of winning - you can see it.

    They give me huge '21 Dees vibes and have done for about 18 months

    Carlton are a tough team to beat any given week, but still not sure on them defensively. Up to now they have conceded the 4th highest against. Wait and see if they fix that in the back half.

    What do you do next Sunday night??? Blues v Bombers...

    Yeah the balance of the list really reminds me of ours in 21, as well as the number of guys in career best form.

    unbelievable that they get a 10 day break after a game in adelaide whereas the peptides will be coming off a standard 7 day week after the humidity of playing gc17 up there

    they're trying to turn 'king's birthday eve' into a thing the way we and the tigs have turned 'anzac day eve' into a thing

    Am I imagining things or have teams been winning a lot on the road this year?

    For what it's worth, 29 of 64, I think.

    • 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.
