    3 wins in a row, kicked over 100, won comfortably in the end. Not great but not the coach killer it looked at half time.

    Still need to get better if we’re going to compete with anyone in the top 8 but st least we’re out of the bottom 4 (for now at least).

    Well done coaches and players for 3 in a row

    Bank the points but eagles are a very poor team. Wasn’t pretty but got the job done

    Big test next week. I’m looking forward to it

    Go dees

    Turner and Petty as the 1 and 2 in the forward line is my preference. Give a trial for the next month. JVR had his chance and I reckon needs to have a solid month in the 2’s.

    Fritta is on thin ice too. Should have had 4-5 goals tonight.

    Milkshake, probably gets rubbed out because it’s MFC.

    Surely not he used his body to out position his opponent - that’s legal

    Three in a row, but also a win against the worst team in the comp. McGovern going off injured. Still relying too much on Max.

    Proper test against the Hawks next week

    100% he shouldn’t but you just know that he’ll get suspended.

    And we’ve won a last quarter… just!!

    Gawn, HUGE!! 30 votes. Chandler continues his great form, and Turner looked solid.

    We take the W, and that’s great, but we’ll need a more consistent lift for the hawks next week!

    Good second half got our attacking game going, I was in despair about our rubbish forward entries in the first half but looked a lot better in the second.

    I'll take that. Aside from a ten minute spell when WC were running hot we controlled the game. Melky is a clever footballer and I'm glad we had him there when Petts went off. Worked well with Disco. Surely Max has nine Brownlow votes from the last three games.

    Tholstrup had an almost game, 0.3 could have been 3 snags with some more experience under the belt

    I'd keep playing him

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
