If Oliver, Viney and Brayshaw get on top and the umpires shed their bias, we are seriously in this.

Yep, it's what has me quietly confident for the second half.  They lifted in that last ten minutes, so hopefully that has given them confidence.

I agree with others that we have been well beaten in some areas tonight, but the fact we are still in it is a real positive.  Our forward line has looked much more open which has allowed us to kick more goals and have those opportunities.  If the three you mentioned above continue to lift then we can get more of those chances in the second half.

    If Jones is to play it must be up forward - useless elsewhere.

    Hibberd is gone. Hore showing something.

    Wagners will never be any good.

    OMac just horrible.

    Your last two statements i agree with. I haven't given up on Hibb's yet though.

    Had a bit of a shocker.

    I've felt Frosty hasn't been too bad so far tonight, apart from one kicking blunder.  He has generally done some good things down back.

    U pairing is [censored]. Boundaries can’t throw the ball in. Field umpires always looking for a soft over the shoulder to the Swans and if we get a free they bring it back everytime allowing the Swans to manup. Front on contact to our forwards doesn’t exist. Anyway we are still in it. Petracca stand up mate!

    Sure, but the forward line isn't really the problem, it's up the other end of the ground where we've been leaking goals all season. Even against Essendon we managed 18 goals - which, incidentally was the 3rd highest score in the whole round.

    Long bombs i50 not hurting us as much. A few are thankfully looking shorter

     

    My God were in front!!!

    That ump will be sacked

    Front contact now but not in 1st quarter? Umpires are straight out idiots

    We simply can’t let the ball into our defensive 50 because it’s a certain goal. 

     

    Let’s put Spargo on the mark again.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • 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.
