You have to think back to 1994. That was the last time Melbourne went 5-0 to start a season.
After a fast start, they crumbled to lose seven of their next eight but steadied to play finals, finishing seventh with a 12-10 record. They eventually lost to the Eagles at the WACA in the preliminary final.
This year, they’ve jumped out of the blocks with five straight wins and Demons fans are probably wondering: is this for real?
