For god sake Most of the team is less than 22.

We were just out played by a better side.

We keep looking for excuses

the majority of the current players are not good enough to compete with the top teams.

We have 7 - 8 good players and then a lot of average players.

Simply not good enough against the better sides.

Why else do we get badly beaten by the top sides.

Well, I thought it was pretty obvious what I was saying, but I think the players were mentally and emotionally drained from the build up and the 'need' to win it for Sean Wight.

It wouldn't be the first time a side has failed under such an emotional burden.

Especially a young side that has not encountered this situation before.

I obviously have assumed this from what we saw on Friday, rather than ascertained it, but it is hardly unlikely.

You sure make a lot of sense in your posts 'Artie'. It is very easy to try too hard to honour the passing of a Demon great. This led to much fumbling, getting in each others way etc.

The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

REPORT: North Melbourne

It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
