I don't rate North at all, Waite won't stay fit/hold this form all year. 

I think they'll be around top 4 but there are 4-5 teams that are better than them this year.

The pressure was good. The rest, nnnnot so much. 

My footy multi has died every Friday night this year too. I've gotta stop betting. Or start chasing my bets even more.

Next 3 weeks nth play saints carlton essendon. Most likely 9-0. But as JB keeps saying they will have a tough draw in the 2nd half of the year. But geez there forward line of Waite who marked beautifully tonight, Brown and Drew is a great advantage. 

We should have beaten nth. But it will be interesting to see if they can finish top 4.

I was going to say we'll see how those 3 go in the wet winter, checked their draw and all bar one of their games in Melbourne is under the roof. So it'll be a huge advantage indeed.

Geez, and we don't get ANY Friday night games this year.

Gotta wonder about that Etihad surface. Dogs are decimated. Geez why did Truck need to debut there... :mad:

 

Saber, we don't deserve any Friday night games with the [censored] we've served up in the past...

Dont start that crud again. We deserve equal billing always. As do the other 17 clubs.

Not really.

Good effort, though...

The AFL keeps talking about equalisation.  If they are serious about it then every club gets to host one Friday and one Saturday night game.  They can give the extra ones to the sides they think will be bigger drawcards or rank the highest, but at the most basic level they have to give every club an even chance to make money off those timeslots.  They also need to ensure that they don't do their usual trick of giving Melbourne a home game against GWS or Brisbane so that no away fans show up.  It would require a little work to arrange the fixture, but they have the capacity to give prime timeslots to the local derby's for the interstate teams and to put the Melbourne-based clubs against each other to maximise crowds.  This would make far more sense than what they've done for the last couple of years with the plethora of Carlton games on Friday nights.

North are consistent - if we get rid of our tendency to lapse badly and string a few wins together, you never know what we can do.

Well there's something i never thought we'd see, imagine a couple of years ago aspiring to have the consistency of North

I know there's a long way to go, but no one is really standing out at this stage. The Hawks could quite easily miss out on the top 4, but become one of the first (if not the first?) to win it from outside of the top 4. That's how even it is. The competition reminds me of 2005. Just about anyone in the top 6 could win it.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
