    So that night we beat Geelong & I thought our season will get going because of how good a team Geelong are, maybe I was wrong & it's disgraceful we only won by 8 points.

     

    So when we beat the top team at 7-0 in their best form you think it was disgraceful we only won by 8 points?

    when the Blues and the Lions etc lost to them earlier this season, was that worse than disgraceful?

    What TF was that Catman [censored] doing in the stands just now?

    Idk who tf he is but unless Catman has gained weight, aged considerably and phoned in his makeup, that was someone else.

    Chris Scott giving about 13 years worth of credit to the opposition in his post game presser.

    Never heard him so complimentary.

    He's reached the "acceptance" phase of his grief journey.

    Carlton were amazing tonight, I do not want to play them in the finals.

    with this lot - weitering, cripps, walsh, curnow, mckay - now is their time to strike

    they remind me so much at our best over the last three years, but with two incredible forward targets

    TdK, Kennedy, Acres … 
    And we lost a couple of our best players within two years of our flag. Their window is wide open. Our’s has shut.

    That’s one concern I don’t think you’ll need to worry about.

    I think it’s more like 4. And two of them are against the Dogs and Hawthorn who aren’t exactly mug sides.

    Yep, they've hardly been menacing at home this year.

    If they really need Danger and Hawkins to do anything then they're no better than the person who hangs out for pension day.

    Ashcroft no doubt be pretty rusty I would expect. We'll beat them anyway.

    Surely no sane selection committee would select a player straight into the firsts after a long layoff 🙄😮

    Just tuned in to AFL News and saw the clip where the Carlton De Koenig gives away two free kicks against his brother, neither paid, and De Koenig of Carlton is designated as 'The winner'. I am so fast losing faith in this game called AFL...

    Is that the same de Koenig who kneed Max in the head from behind in a ruck contest - “play on”?

    Play on. Siren goes. Still a goal.

    LOL

    Only emphasizes the lack of knowledge of the rules by the part time umpires.

    However, the reverse of say 5.11 was a not uncommon scoring dynamic for the Blues in the last few seasons. Accuracy has definitely improved this season! The Blues have worked very hard on their forward set-up, collectively and individually. Simon Goodwin, take notes!

    Perhaps they have a forward coach who understands forward play and structure. Who do they have in that role?

    Geez Norf supporters would be vomiting at that 50 to Carlton 

    And of course there will be atonement for that error made up in spades tonight 😡

    We now have the media's next clickbait story to replace the Dees as next weeks topic.

    The demise of Geelong is now official and is this a result of poor culture?

    Unless there's another umpiring howler of course, like Camerons goal last night at half time

    I was about to start a post about why the media only focuses on Melbourne: surely the problems at Catland deserve more attention.

    The Cats will get respectful coverage

    if we only won 1 game from 7 it would be wild speculation/ crisis at MFC/ who will be sacked coverage

    Jordan Russell

    But I think having a few seasons of the same group together to build cohesion and Harry McKay sorting out his set shot kicking have been important factors.

    Jack Martin, Jessie Motlop and Matt Cottrell are still yet to come back to this foward line as well mind you. There may be a fight for spots coming up, good problem to have.

    Too many mates in the media to ever be scrutinised seriously.

    • 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.
