GAME DAY - Round 14

Whenever I see the name North Melbourne on the fixture, I get a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Don't have it today but then, it's a late start when you play a twilight game.

If we beat them Essendon go into the 8 Hmmmmmm lets beat them anyway

I have long thought that we will not be reborn completley until we can beat sides like north regularly Time to start Go dees

Can't get there today - my son's local game is at 3pm and finishes at 5pm. Reckon it will be very close, hard and tight with one side kicking 3 or 4 goals in a row in the last quarter to win the game. If we match them physically we win. Kent, Bail, M Jones and the ball-carriers and those able to forward spread will be very important. Carna Dees!

I wanna see the purple rats face after we win today

I'll be there but north and hawks are two teams we just can't get close too and my head says same again today would be stoked to be wrong. North by 34

Best chance to beat them in a while. And a good opportunity for our boys to prove to themselves they are on the way up with 2 in a row.

Looking forward to getting along today, here is hoping it stays as lovely as it is now for the late game.

Hoping we do Norf badly and stick it up purple and Carey the sleaze in a big way. Two people who are involved in footy who of late seem to add to my enjoyment for the game to continue to drop off.

Dees by 28 running away... I hope.

CMON DEMONS!!

Its time we knocked them off...far to long getting done by Norf...

Theres room for only one kind of Melbourne in this town!!

BREAK THEM !

well im hoping for a good win today. It would be nice if we were in front for most of the day and not have to fight from a long way back like last week. We owe nth.

Posted

I think it will be a two goal game either way. We don't have the killer instinct just yet and NM are still riding the wave of desire and application.

What I do not want to see is a period of the game where they slam on 5 goals in 10 minutes. These guys always manage to walk over us for periods like that and it needs to be stopped.

Could bury two big hoodoos today

2 straight wins and finally beating those North pretenders

Come on Demons

North are my third most hated team in the comp, nothing will be f'k'n sweeter then to beat these Norf hacks. GO DEEEEES

About my third as well. I put them in the same basket as Carlton, frauds.

I've always had a soft spot for the blues seeing as my mum goes for them (sadly)

Bulldogs are still my most hated followed by the Saints, then Norf.

I've liked the Doggies since Libba retired... Murphy's one of my favourite players and I have a lot of time for Dahlhaus. Saints I dislike but can't dislike too much because they were my mothers team and North I dislike (but not hate) mainly because their coaches for some weird reason always seem to be whingers.

There are only three teams I would put on my absooute hate list... Richmond, Carlton and Essendon.

Posted

I think I'll be leaving this game, cold, annoyed and just another win on Norths belt, but I don't think we will lose big this time.

Does anyone know if you would be able to purchase guest passes from the home office if you didn't organise them during the week??

I am pretty sure that we won't have 100,000 there today so you should not have any trouble rolling up and getting a decent seat.

Yep, done it on a few occasions.

Not necessarily - North has a 1.3% advantage over Essendon, so maybe a 1 point win in a relatively high-scoring game will keep North above on percentage! Which would be grand. Though I'd also enjoy a more comfortable win if possible.

I think it will be a two goal game either way. We don't have the killer instinct just yet and NM are still riding the wave of desire and application.

Agreed. Port aside, I don't think any team over the last 8 or so weeks has had one of those periods against us. We're usually good enough to at least stem the bleeding when we're behind (e.g. v Essendon, v Collingwood), so I'd really hope we don't leak goals this week.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
