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.

Apart from the usual cr@p kicks and turnovers, we are also playing extremely loose.

This reminds me a lot of last week. If we don't start to control the midfield we will get smacked.

God damn I loath North Melbourne. A bunch of sooks. Lindsay Thomas needs a good smack in the face!

'Tis a pity Jordie didn't go harder...

McKenzie seems like the last bloke that would throw an elbow.

Seems like a top bloke on and off the field.

We should all be furious at Dawes if he cops his second suspension of the year. Not good enough fr a leader.

If Dawes cops a suspension. I give up. I seriously will give up

Jeremy Howe tries to mark far too often.

Colin Garland has been surpassed at AFL level.

tyson, M.Jones, and Viney are thinking all the hard work is done now we've won a few games. Leaving too much to too few.

Dawes spending too much time asking for free kicks, just compete big fella.

If I see one more midfielder bomb in straight to their loose man, I'll Jump through the screen and strangle him myself.

I cannot believe we are playing this poorly, the umpiring is horrific and we're down by 14 points. We need to win this game. God I want it.

Need to run a poll on which decision of that half was the most mind boggling:

- The high against Kent where the ump acknowledged he ducked but "you ran into him".

- The advantage given from the infringement at the centre bounce

- Cross getting his head taken off and getting done for a throw

I'm sure there's another contender.

This game always brings out my hatred for North.

Still annoyed they didn't take the bait to go to Gold Coast. That smug James Brayshaw rejecting that massive offer.

The AFL then decides to create not one but 2 teams! Compromised drafts and draws.

North are an irrelevancy to me.

At lease we appear to be in the game. I really enjoyed being at the G last week. Fingers are crossed but at home with the kids this week.

For the second week in a row, we have a "mid with only 2 possessions at half time. I'm happy for Roos to use Salem or Riley as the sub but we can't afford players who do a couple of 1%ers but don't get their hands on it for 3 quarters. I think it's about time for Michie and Blease to get a run instead of them for a few weeks.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
