Dogs  v hawks will be interesting.  Our contested footy strategy was one that was supposed to stand up in finals. It will be interesting to see if the Hawks attack minded game holds up against the dogs.

    The Hawks remind me a bit of the Demons of '87

    They are riding the crest of a wave and if they can get past the Doggies, their probable SF opponent will be the Cats at the MCG

    Port in Adelaide would be a lot tougher but Port are coming off a straight sets exit in last years finals campaign, so the pressure would be on them

    I can see the Hawks winning at least 2 finals

    If the Cats go out in straight sets (very possible) will they get the same heat after winning a flag as we did? No finals and straight sets is worse than 2x straight sets.

    Hope Port win tonight. Have no issue with them & I'm sure Ken would like to shut a few down.

    Think Brisbane will easily beat Carlton. 

    But tomorrow night will be great.  See how the younger hawks cope with finals pressure.

    I have minimal interest in the finals this year.

    But I hope Jee-long get bundled out in straight sets. I dislike Bris-bane too. And I'm not overly fond of Hawthorn. Come to think of it, I don't like Port either. 

    That leaves the Dogs, Swans, GWS and Carlton. Actually I don't particularly like Carlton or Dogs either. 

    So, that leaves the Swans and GWS. I probably have a slight preference for GWS ... they'll go crazy in western Sydney if they win. ("They'll" ... perhaps that should be singular?)

    whoever loses tonight goes out in straight sets. whoever wins tomorrw makes a prelim in sydney.

    whichever sydney team wins makes the grand final and probably wins the flag.

    I never imagined I'd forgive GWS for the whole Scully saga, but it did lead to us getting Jesse, which led to May, and eventually, a premiership. I think that helped me move on from it.

    Honestly, I'd be happy to see Jesse win a flag, and since I don’t know any GWS supporters, I’d be fine with them taking it too – no risk of dealing with anyone insufferable!

    The rest can go in the bin. Go Giants.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
