BT's commentary is either inane or insane.  I suspect he only gets the job so that the stupidest amongst us can feel there is someone stupider.

    I love the way the Crows play. 

     

    Isn't the new rushed behind rule supposed to be a ball up at the top of the square, not a free kick?

    Let's hope so.

    Although the Eagles look destined to be a top 4 side, so you could argue that the loss isn't as bad as it looks.  North are headed down the ladder, how far that is will determine his fate.

    He has limitations - next level will always elude him

    Would be curious to know if any team who ended Round 1 at the bottom of the ladder went on to become premiers?

    So far Adelaide, West coast and Geelong are looking the best of the bunch early this year.

    Apart from us if course ?

    Will Ross Lyon see out the year if Freo keep playing like this?  They've got Fyfe, a few decent players and the rest are... meh.  They could be in for another long season.

    I think Freo looking putrid is making Geelong look better.

    Lyon's game plan looks dated and Freo's cattle are lacking (Cam McCarthy is one of many having a stinker). If Fyfe hasn't signed his contract by the bye, and Freo remain hapless, I reckon he'll be gone.

    We finished round 1 sitting 6th on the ladder

    Bold (insane) prediction -  we wont drop below 6th all season

    Cameron has to have a bit of pressure on him this year...

    Making the 8 won't be good enough and with that list anything less than a GF will be deemed a failure.

    He was out coached today.

    He's been given the plum job but...you still have to coach the team, it's not just going to happen.

    • 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.
