Geez, of all teams in the league we are allowing ourselves to be physically intimidated by Norf... Higgins especially. Our guys shouldnt be able to look each other in the eyes at half time for allowing that.

This. This is the Brereton line in the sand moment. we've never meant it, physically. I've lost count of the number of line in the sand have and never seen us mean it.

 

Now we're in touch (thanks Frost), we need to mean it. For once in 50 years.

If we had to have a comeback, I'd rather see it in Q2 than 3 or 4.

This reminds me. This is exactly what happened last year against Norf in Launceston. They wrecked us in the first quarter, and we got back into it in the 2nd. It was a battle of the rucks that day and North just got us in the end.

You’re mental. We’re back in the game because of him, Viney, Frost, Hannan and Salem.

The wife thinks I am when I watch the Dees but there is a limit and he always goes over it. Love his tagging but not when he gives away stupid free kicks, or get suspended maybe you do.

So I landed at Athens airport to see us 26 down (17 to 43). I depart for Istanbul with us 3 points down. Sheesh!

I like when he makes the opposition earn it and leads from the front. Maybe you don’t.

The Eagles actually outscored Norf after qtr time last week.

Sorry, but Oscar is, along with Weideman, doing very little...like he's running in treacle.

Clean Clearances

Melbourne .... 20 (7 centre)

North Melb ... 14 (8 centre)

Better ball movement in that quarter ... we're getting our game going. 

It's that downfield possession from our clearances that has improved - much better that quarter.

5 free kicks to half time is disgraceful the way we're being manhandled.

got to give hannan his credit, he is getting us back into this game

Agree, he is having a huge influence up forward.

We clearly are not liking North's heavy handed tactics. Why don't we hand out some of our own?

Chalk and cheese.

 

Much better qtr.

 

God i hate norf. All day they have been off the ball then sook for frees.

I want them destroyed 2nd half.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
