The forward line is struggling again. Where our midfield was able to get on top, now they're getting hit hard. Without a winning midfield, we have no-one to enter fifty or kick from long range. We're looking at a goal-less quarter here.

Not good signs.

Brent Harvey at halftime says "We confident we will run over the top of them in the second half". Hey genius, you are already in front.

North Melbourne are a crap side - why are we letting them dictate who owns the corridor? If they are blocking the corridor - go and stand next to them and if all 36 players are in a line down the middle of the ground, so be it. This going backwards, sideways stuff is shithouse. I hope the whole side cops a huge spray in the break.

Then only hope here is that we have had VERY strong last quarters so far this year, with a couple of kids who run out games VERY well.

I'm surprised they're still taking bets. Roos are going to win, and win well.

They copped a huge spray at quartertime and that didn't do anything.

Forward line needs structural changes. Thinking outside the square, I'd go with Martin at fullback and Warnock at fullforward. Almost worked in the Richmond game last year!

Down on intensity, and not running for each other anywhere as much as they need to. Need a huge swing to win this. Earlier poster has it nailed, north are pressuring us like we have pressured other sides lately and we are struggling

That sucked.. a goal on the siren.

Half time:

NM 55 Mel 21

Important qtr / half coming up - our last chance to salvage some of the respect we've earned over the last few weeks..

Bruce Jamar Dunn our better players..

Slyvia Davey benny bartram martin jones trenny green all need to improve this half and if they do, we'll have a chance.

Lacklustre. Cannot get free of their close tackling. Compared to last week, way too many turn-overs. We can stomach a quarter of this standard, but not a half.

But we came out superbly for a quarter against Richmond (and yes, it was only a quarter of 'A'-class football)- and vs Brisbane we know it can be done.

Too much to ask for "character" at this stage. Just one of those so-so dull games - I would have preferred to have played like this against the Dogs.

This one should have been another 4 points.

Not over, but she's spat out the phlegm, and cleared her throat.

Grimes turnover. Harvey consistently finding open teammates inside 50. Goal to Wright

FFS. The only intensity the boys are showing is when they push their opponent in the back or manage to give away some other type of free.

Oh, and Harvey pantsed Bartram and kicked another one for NM. Game over.

Sorry can't describe this sh** any more.

Definately missing Jordie. MFC have started taking risks down the corridor and margin is back to 30 points.

Skills - particularly picking up the football - lacklustre

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
