AS we cross the halfway point of Season 2025 this weekend, Melbourne has put themselves in a strong position to attack the back half of the year. Sitting second on the ladder with five wins from six matches and a commanding percentage, the Dees have created a strong base for another finals charge.
With six games set to come thick and fast, the challenge now turns to carrying that momentum into a strong finish.
Big Games Ahead

The Dees return to Casey for a Friday afternoon clash against the Suns. Landing on a Public Holiday, it’s the perfect chance for fans to get behind the side as they look to open the run home with a win.
Round 8 v Essendon (Oct 3, IKON Park)
A primetime Friday night showdown against the Bombers awaits at IKON Park. A fierce rivalry, a big-stage atmosphere, and finals implications all combine to make this one unmissable.
Round 10 v Sydney (Oct 18, Casey Fields)
A blockbuster against the fifth-placed Swans. With both sides pushing for a top four finish, this contest at Casey could prove season-defining.
Round 11 v Brisbane (Oct 25, Brighton Homes Arena)
A 2022 Grand Final rematch. Always fierce, and a golden opportunity to bring four points back home.
Round 12 v Geelong (TBC, GMHBA Stadium)
The run home wraps up in Geelong, where the Cats’ home-ground advantage will make for a fitting final test before finals.
