Watching those two sides making mistake after mistake,gives me a lot of belief about our team and how good we could possibly be.

Very poor standard game. Both teams constantly missed targets by hand and foot. Reminded me of Melbourne a couple of years ago. I reckon both teams will be at the bottom of the eight at best.

Agreed.  Was looking forward to seeing a high standard game between two classy outfits.  Was left feeling totally under-whelmed!  Definitely not a performance befitting the top two teams on the ladder...!

Looking forward to a much better game today!

Norf play one game on the MCG, against Hawthorn where they will probably be running out of puff and get flogged.

Playing indoors all winter will not help their cause.  They will flake out.   Have faith!!

Don't worry. By round 10 Hawthorn will have started an unstoppable roll towards another flag and everything will return to normal. 

Seriously though, while the game last night was rubbish, it was one game and it happens sometimes. It doesn't undo the good work both these teams have done to get where they are. I'm reluctant to dismiss either side as contenders just on the back of one game, even if that game was awful.

It also shows that even decent sides play shocking games sometimes. North were a long way off, but Footscray outdid them for being off the boil. I hope everyone has learned their lesson and I never see a "we won, but we'd never have beaten xxx side playing that way" after a narrow win ever again.

North are a good side playing good footy.

 

Dogs are a super promising side playing promising footy.

 

We are an emerging side playing decent football.

 

Hawks, Swans are experienced and strong sides quietly going about their business and should both be top four by season's end.

 

North should too, really, given their start to the season but may drop off as the year goes on. Who knows at this stage!

Glad someone else it it.

Was thinking something similar on the Round 6 thread.

The doggies played some of the dumbest footy i have ever seen last night, and i'm a Melbourne supporter so I know dumb play.

At least when we just bomb it long inside 50 we have a key forward to target.

Neither side handled the 1 v 2 occasion well. North just had some players who handled it better. In saying that neither are in the best two sides in the comp and moreso when you remind them the grand final is not played in doors.

OP is delusional if he thinks 1 game can determine the premiership chances of a team. Both the Roos and Dogs are chances of making the top 4, which gives them a shot at the flag.

We'll struggle to make the eight, so to think that we are contenders based on one game is laughable.

Going by this thread, the 8 is decided.... North, Dogs, Hawks, Swans, Cats, Crows... So it seems we can qualify to be the also rans with one other team. I feel like Eagles will get one with their home ground advantage... The other you'd think would be GWS.

No way Blues, Pies, Tigers, Suns, Dons, Dockers or Lions are getting past us.

Makes us 9th, 10th or 11th with Port and Saints. It's a step.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
