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
Round 7 v Gold Coast (Sep 26, Casey Fields)
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.
With two massive Casey fixtures still to come, there’s no better time to show your support. Bring the noise, bring the energy, and help push the Dees deep into another final’s series.
