    North’s hammering of St Kilda was the best thing to happen for us. They don’t want to go into a game overconfident as they did both times last year against them.

    Their team as above was very ordinary and yet we couldn’t beat them with a 5 goal breeze at our backs.

    Never have I wanted us to win a game so much as this one.

    It will prove us contenders and take away norfs smugness.

    Back on the G where we were beaten by the Roos . Brown is on fire and kicked his 6 last game. I like to think that Lever gets the first crack  at him as l hope Frosty will be in the side as well. It will also give Lever a chance to do some sweeping and intercepting which will help his confidence.

    I am confident that we have the side now to win these type of games but to me Lever becomes a key to this game. The puzzle is been put together slowly over the years and it is coming on well.  Clarry and co will take care of the rest the match.

    Goodwin has been beaten twice by this rabble. Will be interesting to see whether he changes anything or goes with his solitary game plan....

    Last time: 

    Free kick count 21 Norf,  10 to us. Umps were putrid.

    We had 195 HBs to 178 kicks

    They out-tackled us 94 to 78

    We let them score 6g 7b in the opening qtr.

    They also had 85 marks to our 69.

    They chip the ball around and pressure us when we have it knowing that we will turn it over.

    We simply must stop handballing ourselves into trouble, run our bums off and keep the ball off them. We will then have a chance

    That was the hardest part of last week. Just as I began thinking 'yes, finally, a game where we will really romp it in' the players started thinking it too.

    I just want to see us dish out one good thumping, just for the refreshment, and as a bit of punctuation to this long slow story of recovery.

    Yes I still remember 2013 when they destroyed us by 100+ on the ‘G. Getting the monkey off the back is one thing but we owe that rabble of a club some serious pain.

    In my travels through Albion Street, Brunswick while walking around long time ago, i used to like North and i hoped i'd run into Mantello or Allan Aylett, and sometimes i did. But now these nice old blokes have won their Flags and it's our turn to win one. Now it's our time to see Hogan running through the middle of The G at 100 k's an hour not Sam's and see Max not stopping for anyone either, not Teaser's or Mick's time.....

    When you miss finals by 0.000005% every loss is “Undoubtedly the game that cost us a finals spot”...

    My worst moment at the footy was watching a Dees v Kangas match. I was in the MCC members and screaming a bit, maybe getting a bit carried away. Anyhow, one of the MCC staff came over to me and tapped me on the shoulder. He said " we don't mind if you barrack, but don't swear and keep your comments reasonable "  Someone had reported me. 

    I turned around, and a couple of rows behind me was this horrible old crone about 90 years old with a tattered old blue and white scarf wrapped around her scrawny neck. She made Lady Faversham look like Cameron Diaz. Horrible old b...ch.

    She gave me a withering look and ruined my day. 

    Hate North with a passion .  Let's turn these bast....s into the natural fate of the kangaroo..... dog food.

    We got crucified by the umpires at the "G" last year.

    It would be great to have a non umpire impacted game against the Roos and finally bury this hoodoo!

    Don't care by how much as long as we win. 10 goals plus would be great as would ease the nerves compared to a last kick type result.

    Gawn, Clarry, Hogan, OMac have played well in both games, would be great to see the rest of the team play well this week.

    Missed Trac and Hibberd who both played okay week 1 & 2. Seems to be a lot of room for improvement from the rest of the team.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
