    The McDonalds seem to get better with age.

    Maybe we need an I Was Wrong thread?

    I've certainly been off the mark with TMac. After that GWS game last year I thought he was done...

    I'mnot watching the game, but I see that OMac has 2 goals, 7 score involvements and 3 goal assists playing as a 196cm ruckman...

    it's an incredible comeback from being ditched by first mfc then cfc

    it will be interesting to see how they combine darcy, jackson, treacy, amiss, and o mac going forward

    Interesting; Freo up by 40 odd, then gave up late goals in the last quarter to win by 18.

    Very similar to last night.

    Had a serious back injury while at Carlton, and they obviously thought he was cooked. Worked very hard in the VFL to give himself another chance, which was almost lost through last year's knee injury.

    Asking genuinely, was Ben McKay really good at Kangas? I never really watched any of their games.

    i watch the roos every week. he was horrendous.

    Must have taken OMac off for the last 15 minutes.

    Freo have a lot of journeymen playing for them. OMac, Narkle, O’Meara, Aish and Wagner are all at their third club.

    It’s interesting to me that McKay was talked about as a gun full back whilst at the Roos, then I watched him play at Essendon and I thought he must’ve had a huge drop off in form

    Interesting. I thought he was tracking really well as a young KPD. Until Robbie Tarrant left for Richmond and left him to lead the backline. McKay seemed to stagnate, if not regress from that point .

    But I've not watched them as much as you

    Anyone else think the scoring pattern at the Coll/Ess game was unusual, or everyone except C just got tired.

    The Saints always wear such Crappy “Away” Strips, even when they are playing at home

    What a Dogs Breakfast

    It feels like they've worn a different guernsey in every game so far this year. The Belgian flag one is still to make an appearance though.

    Saints prove they are rubbish earlier than usual

    Lions should be flag favourites and then daylight. Their squad is so deep. they are just in cruise mode

    Just a final reflection on Ben McKay @Go the Biff and @BoBo, - he is not inside the top 150 players in the comp. Yet North got pick three as compensation for him. Get your head around that 🥇. Everyone gets a participation medal.

    Too early to call mate

    This time last season the premiers and a top 6 team were 13th and 17th!

    (and we were 4th 😬)

    Hahaha, wow, picks 1 to 4 for us then for Kozzie if that’s the standard.

    I looked up his contract and it’s averaged to $800k over 6 years. So it’s not the craziest amount. Still $100k too much for his output and that’s being generous.

    Port by 12pts

    • 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.
