He instigates enough too,  the cycle of tediousness will forever continue. 

Anyway enough about that,  how much will we lose by on Sunday?  I'm tipping 40-60 points 

Will be happy if we can keep it around 30, not happy if it gets to around 60

As much as last week's loss was disappointing, I have us winning this game... because last weeks loss was so disappointing, I have us winning this game. It's got Geelong written all over it IMO.

Will you really be happy if we can keep it around 30 though.?  They will score over 100, we won't. Prepare for a loss >30.

Unlike other clubs, losing terribly one week is actually more reason to believe we will win the next week than if we won in the first place. I'm more confident after last week. Maybe that's just me.

Not happy as in like a win, but not shattered like in a smashing

It is a little early for magic mushrooms. We will get rolled this week.

I must say I like deeluded's suggestion of Hogan having a run in the midfield, somewhat like Roughead.  Didn't he do it early in the Q4 vs GWS?  Fired him up.  

Just leaving him sulking in the goalsquare is very poor coaching. 

 

they'll try to maintain the structures for the teams sake,  but delivery forward,  & structures seem to be struggling at this moment.  From the other viewpoint,,,  Jesse is struggling to find his rhythm  & getting pizzed off with life.

chicken or egg,  sometimes its easier to keep the structure,  but switch the personnel.

 

so maybe Gawn forward for 4 minute spells,  every 9 minutes or so?   just to get Hogan running  & jumping at the footy  & taking crashing marks around the ground.

Garland and Brayshaw left out.

So Wagner is a straight swap for Garland, who will come in for Brayshaw? Dunn I guess? The balance wasn't quite right last week.

Well, there you go.  I've defended him in the past, as many would know, but I can't defend him being dropped.  

I'll cop that on the chin.

Edit - I think Kent and Harmes are very lucky as well.  They aren't named on the bench so they'll play on Sunday, but I haven't been impressed with their start to the season.  Hopefully they can improve this weekend.

I feel this year is make or break for North, they've got a very ageing list and while Boomer is a freak for being able to keep his form so consistent they still are so reliant on him so once retirement comes for him there will be a big hole to fill. They can be very good, and usually are with us, but they do on occasion drop their guard. Maybe this will be the week.

North have had the wood on us, When we were a front-running side without a defensive ability.    They just used to pressure us & we'd drop the ball.  & our shite.

This Melbourne side has been taught to defend & pressure as a matter of course,  then attack at the right time. 

We will be different to what they were used to from us.

 

I predict a real arm wrestle.

No ANB?

 

Roos made a special mention in the interview re rewarding form at Casey. What a joke.

Or it may be that he wants to reward consistent form, or consistently doing the team things, before they are promoted?  ANB might have had 30 odd touches but that doesn't always tell the whole story.

Was prepared for the disappointment of ANB not being named. Why would a rubbish team need a player who had 36 possessions and kicked 2 goals? We have James Harmes.

Garland gets made part of the leadership group. Dropped by Round 3.

It's verging on a comedy act, really.

I reckon Dunn, Frost, Stretch and Wagner will all come in. Frost in the backline where he belongs.

Additional omissions will be Kent and Bugg.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
