    Do you honestly think Hawthorn are playing as well this week as they did last week?  Like us, they haven’t come to play.

    Hawthorn is not great. They are well coached, but they made a point of making a mockery of us last week. Clarkson toyed with us, and our players gave up.

    Quite enjoying North playing well against the Hawks. North playing with intensity and aggression. Ben Brown is a ripper.

    Frawley also not having a great day which is enjoyable to watch.

    True, but you can’t draw a form line from today to last week.  Nth smashing Hawthorn does not make last week any worse, or two weeks ago against Nth any better.

    We were fine until it got a bit wet last week, under Goodwin we haven’t played wet or windy conditions well at all as we do t adjust for the conditions

    Wow wee. 13 marks inside 50 to 1 Norths way.

    Someone should bump the “ Get Ben Brown” thread. He’s seriously good.

    North will play finals this year. Maybe even top 4. They remind me of their 2007 season. Nobody rated them, every side paid them no respect and they ended up winning 15 games.

    I hope our Rd 3 North win doesn’t end up being our highlight of the year.

    We’re starting to sound like the football media on here.

    A team plays well: ‘They’re amazing; will play finals.’

    A team plays poorly: ‘They’re terrible; won’t play finals.’

    If you were a Melbourne AFL Player, set to play Tuesday, watching all these upsets this weekend so far, what would you be thinking?

    I've been meaning to say '39 it took me 20 years to get over Barassi leaving, but another thought to me is it just seems like we have a game plan that is too fast for the players?@#$!

    Listening to BT saying the Higgins knock out was accidental is ridiculous. Burton made the choice to bump and it looks like Higgins is still unconscious.

    I too would like to see the Roos finish off toweling up the Hawks but the WatchAFL app (the one for international viewers) has decided that the Lions vs Suns game is that gripping, they will make you watch it even if you want to watch North vs Hawthorn.

    Sterling stuff.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
