North Melbourne has indicated its contempt for our team by resting five players for the finals. This is the first time in many years that I won't be going to a final round game in my home state. Won't even be watching it on television.

I have something else on but my message to the AFL is that if you don't treat equalisation more seriously and do nothing other than support the stronger clubs then you will end up with fixtures that attract neither crowds nor viewers.

I don't see our challenge to win today as being much different to Richmond's against the Swans.

The opposition really have nothing to play for. The result won't change where they finish on the ladder. There will be an element of self- preservation involved among some of the players who won't want to get injured and miss finals games .

The answer is to hit them hard, tackle them, pressure them and let them know that they're in for a tight physical contest.

This might be a departure from the way they've been playing lately but it's the last game of the season and they need to make a statement for their fans and for themselves.

i'm genuinely excited about tonite's game, Jamar should have a party in his 150th with no Goldstien, Someone could snag 4 sausages with no Furrito maybe even Watts,North forward line doesn't seem to have enough goals in it to bury us. Warming up the vocals for a little singsong tonite.

Not to be too negative about our chances but let's look at our last 4 games before we start declaring this as a cert.
We have received three genuine thrashings (Hawthorn, Eagles and GW BLOODY S!) and would have been thrashed by the Lions had their skills not been as woeful as ours for 3 and a half quarters.

We are deluding ourselves if we don't think that North aren't in a position to do that again. Our expectations as supporters are that the best we can expect is the team to give a yelp at least. The group should always be aiming to win but some expectations of the support group, as witnessed here, are way off the mark.
I still have a sly chuckle to myself when I read all those posts proclaiming that we should get excited if we knock off North or Hawthorn but beating GWS or Brissy was no big deal. It would appear we are still a way of beating those two teams as it is!

I bet you thought the same thing when we played the GWS reserve team a couple of weeks ago.

I hope you're right but we are just that bad.

where are Norths goals going to come from? Drew Petrie? He's not really Mr reliable. Look, we probably won't win...but at the moment I can't see us getting thrashed by 60+ points with the outs that they have. Hence why I was shocked when i saw most of the tips here: http://resources.news.com.au/files/521/227/cb43e256-2f07-11e4-aafa-2c4cfd90ea1d..pdf

Look at Norths forward line coming into this game. Probably worse than ours...

then it ought to provide an abject lesson in how you conjure something out of nothing...something our lot is too timid to

I am with you. No Harvey is a bonus. I reckon Michie will kick 4.

Just get it over. 2014 in some ways has been far worse than the 2 previous years.

The excuses we heard before were just that.

The "problems" were addressed. & still the players have shown little respect for the jumper and members.

Since Round 13 it has been diabolical. Kicking 3-4 goals in a full game on a dry ground.

Fcuk That.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs GWS

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
