Phew

A pox on you North

Words fail to describe the contempt for Nicholls . Scum

 

The hoodoo, ladies and gentlemen, is over.  Just soak that in for a moment.

The one thing I think we can be proud of with this win was, when the game was on the line in the last term, our leaders stood up.  Lewis was terrific, not just with the goal he kicked but with his ability to identify that we needed to slow it down and take the right option.  Jones just kept running and running and running and drove us forward.  Gawny was also immense.

And we had others stand up for us as well.  Hogan was excellent.  Salem was terrific in the gut with 8 clearances.  Bugg with 4 was a revelation, while Kent totally justified his selection with 3 goals and some great work across half forward.  Vince was another who stood up, while Oliver fought through the tag to snag two at the end.

Really, you could list most of the players (can't forget Wagner either who played his best game for the club), but when our backs were against the wall after coughing up 4 goals, we absolutely smashed them.  It was great to watch.

Hoodoo done and dusted.  Enjoy every minute of it, then on to the Hawks next weekend!


Loved jettas bump on side show brown. 

Classic

18 goals to 9 after that awful start.

33 scoring shots to 21, +21 inside 50s, +35 CPs, +10 centre clearances.

Actual leadership in the fourth.

18 goals but only 1 kicked by Hogan.

Kent returning and looking like an AFL player (consistency is the next step). Bugg kicking 4.1.

Surely we can be pleased with this.

Into the top 4 (temporarily) 123.3% Thanks for coming Norf..

 

Good to see bugg kick a few and great to see Kenty back and kicking goals and tackling too. 

Great effort boys. 

 


Finally.  I hope every North supporter is shattered and cry themselves to sleep.  Plebs.

At a bucks party so have only seen stats. Buggy four goals.  Welcome back Dean Kent. Lewis worthy of a spot? Cmon you demons!


The 'hoodoo' is dead, despite that mob having 26 on the park.  Proud Demon tonight!!

We've only lost 3 quarters all year. A straight Gawn kick and we're 3-0 with a percentage of 123%. 

Big month coming up (Hawthorn, Richmond, Essendon, St Kilda). 

7 minutes ago, red and blue forever said:

Thank [censored] that is done

 

 

 

Gawn was just incredible. Incredible everywhere. One of his best ever games. 

Loved the chains of composure with some of our younger players. 

Jones was great, good captains game. 

Hogan 2nd BOG for me behind Gawn. 

Can’t believe the ball went straight off Bugg’s boot a whole 4 times. 

Love  tubby Kent, welcome back. 

Frost v Hunt selection was the correct one. 

May North [censored] off and never beat us again. 

 

 

Good win after coughing up a 4 goal head start (again).

Special mention to Wagner who was great.

And also Bugg, who I thought was lucky to stay in the team.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
