Not many players capable of covering off on Nick Im afraid. Has to be a combo of Tom and Garlo with chop outs from others If they can make the contest. Nick plays such a high game and then runs back just as hard and does It repeatedly. Toms the most suited for this job Athletically and defensively.  His problems arise when he actually gets the pill.

I wld be treating Tom like a lumbering ruckman at this stage , making sure there's always one or 2 options running past from behind for the quick handball as much as possible to minimise the chance of Tom producing too many damaging turnovers, thereby reducing the opponent's ability to score from turnovers In our defensive half

I was being sarcastic. Of course Tom goes to Nick.

Classic Melbourne. Play against an under strength opposition and mentally switch off....again. 

Disappointing  but to be expected. 

Classic Melbourne? I wish classic Melbourne meant switching off, kicking four goals seven to a solitary point in the last quarter, taking the intensity up a couple of levels and coming from 3 goals down to win by two. We can only dream that becomes classic Melbourne.

I have to say Bombay my definition of disappointing is different to yours.

Most pleasing thing for me is we are moving the ball far better, and we have kept opposition teams scoreless in 3/8 quarters this year, our biggest worry is we are slow out of the blocks at the minute.

By my reckoning PG i think we've been doing pretty much that for nigh on 15 years now

I thought I read somewhere that Nick had slimmed down a bit and they were looking to run him in the midfield. So doubt that will be tommy,  I wonder if we could play vandenberg on him? his big enough and probably quick enough and does not mind a tackle.

Not quite sure why you see the need to raise those old photos again...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
