I still can’t believe Norf fans exist. Like I know they do, and each one of them is a [censored], but like why?

Uhm because they’ve had a lot more success than Melb in our lifetimes? Good on them for sticking by the club.

    We would not be trading Brayden Preuss if we weren't extremely confident Luke Jackson was going to extend his contract. 

    Not traded yet and he is deciding to leave, so no correlation to Jackson’s intentions.

    Good get Cards. Four flags in 45 years for a club with limited resources is a marvellous effort.

    Truth is given North’s relative success it actually shows that having success is one piece of the puzzle, being able to capitalise on it is another. Given their 90s they should be a powerhouse. 

    Since 2000 they haven’t had anything to ride home about and been sitting comfortably in mediocrity ever since, unwilling to ever bottom out properly (no choice now). I’m not saying we’ve been any better because we haven’t.

    Truth is, they've one one flag every 11 years on average for 45 years. In the period, that record is only bettered by Carlscum, and Horethorn.

    We’d be close to that over 60 years... ?

    I'm not arguing their onfield success hasn't been good, of course I'm bloody envious. But many of us bemoan the fact that during the AFL's transition from semi-professional into elite sport we were garbage meant that we missed out on the opportunity to be a bigger and better club. North had that but are still in the position they are where they're fighting to survive, I'm just pointing out that they failed to capitalise when they had their chance, they should be a powerhouse with that success but they aren't.

    Disagree, bad business for the MFC to give him our blessing to assess his options, and allow him to select a desired new home and then block it at the last minute. i think the club would have a reason to be confident of Jacksons intentions to stick around before those steps were taken. even if it were verbal.

    Personally i thought they did have a chance to become a powerhouse club if they re-located. unfortunately sentiment prevented that from happening but it did feel there was an opportunity missed there in my view.

    We won on average a flag every 9 years since the start of WW2.

    Would be very surprised if he wasn't pushed.

    So Demonlanders.  What is Ben Brown worth? 
     

    Brown for MFC 2020 Pick 25* (ie. Hawks 2nd rounder) ?

    or 

    Brown & NMFC 2021 3rd round pick for
    MFC 2020 Pick Pick 25* ?

    I would say Brown for pick 25 would get it done, and get it done early.

    North might push for something extra though.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
