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.

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

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
