He’ll go to Mitchell. I think Neal-Bullen will go to Isaac Smith 

He did a great job on a similar player in Lachie Whitfield

    Someone has to take Smith...

    Harmes has the weapons to do it, not sure who else.

    ...or stop his supply?

    Smith just put a target on himself when interviewed and asked about the Demons pressure..

    ”I reckon we’re alright at pressure ourselves, maybe you should be asking Melbourne that.”

    That is licence to shitmix him.

    Nothing like a back-handed compliment!  LOL

    That sounds more like Rod Grinter style, Bazz

    vandenBerg on Smith for me.  He has far better pace than given credit for round these parts, he has a great tank, he's the same height, and he can absolutely physically work him over.

    vandenberg confirmed this morning on SEN that Goody had him playing wing due to his tank and let's face it Smith will only get to use his elite speed on a handful of times and not at all if he's constantly under pressure.

    I may be wrong, but I could see a vandenBerg matchup.

    Forgot about Vanders & if Smith has been making a d...target of himself then Vanders is just the man to accommodate him...

    We shut Mitchell down in Round 4 and lost by 11 goals.

    Mitchell gets a tonne of it but the damage O'Meara, Gunston, Smith, Breust and even Shiels can do is far worse IMO.

    Vanders has an excellent sense of timing for his body pressure, have been pleasantly surprised how few frees he gives away, (I love Bernie, but he has been a tad slow and more likely to give a free away in the same type of play). I think Smith would merde himself a bit, AVB for the job.

    I could also see Vandenberg doing a job on Sicily. Will be interesting to see how they line up.

    This. ANB is the only one with the tank to follow Smith.

    Surely by this stage, the question needs to be asked the other way around.

    Who will Hawthorn try to stop?

    Viney? Oliver? Brayshaw?

    Seriously who do you tag if you're the Hawks?

    Looking at form over the last few weeks, they should be looking to curtail OUR stars, not the other way around.

    I am quite bullish about this game. The way we've gone about it the last few weeks has been tough and brutal.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
