I thought they were better than they showed tonight. But I agree they looked average.

That's what Adelaide get for complaining about the umpiring.


Norf 6 goals up 2 minutes into the second. Dons in for a pasting (good to see).

No...they are "getting the young players on the list some real game experience".

So the real question is, will they trade pick 1 for a gun player to help them in the finals next year or use it themselves.

How did we lose to essendon?

They'll try to trade us Pick 1 for Hogan.

What happened in the North game? Didn't see what happened, just saw that the stretcher came out.

Not sure. Was watching the Hawks/Freo debacle.

Commentators were saying that because he was paid the mark, the closest player will take the kick

Wood got slightly tunneled in a marking contest and hit his head very hard into the ground

Hawthorn was just like a cat toying with a mouse, giving Freo a sliver of hope before killing it.

Bugger. This will really improve Hawthorn's percentage too, which prior to this game was ordinary.

More of the fake hype on the Norf v Dons game. With just over 5 minutes to go, the exclamation "Essendon is right in this!"

Not going to happen, even though I wish it would because that would see a Brad Scott explosion.

Edited by Maple Demon
typo

 

If North makes top four it will be an absolute gift to whatever team's playing it. Plum average imo.

Scott being the typical patronising c0ck4ead that he is. He must be proud of the 14 point win by his pretenders.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
