  • We could have had Pickett with our first pick but we traded it to Melbourne. 
  • Bottom 4 looks like a possibility. Can we get our pick back from melbourne
  • I was surprised we didn't pick Spargo with our 2nd pick of his draft year. 
  • JMac picks up the ball, runs into 3 Demons players to get group tackled.
  • Melbourne's pressure around the ball has been very good.
  • Dom Tyson holds up the play before bombing it into the 50. That makes perfect sense when you have Wayne Carey and Corey McKernan down there.
  • Tyson is fine. He's just not elite at anything
  • I still have absolutely no idea why we got Tyson. Was literally the last type of player we needed as part of the trade.
  • Melbourne just ran a training drill for Bedford's goal.
  • I thought Tom McDonald was good in special comments, insightful.
  • Reactive, flat-footed, poorly skilled, undisciplined and poorly structured. Thats 2 weeks in a row, today against a side that was 30% VFL players.
  • Got taken to the cleaners by Melbourne's zippier players.
  • Was bloody excited going into this season. Yeah, I'm not quite as excited anymore.
  • It was very weak. Brayshaw was the only gun in there, supported by guys like Tom Sparrow, James Jordon and Spargo.
  • On the plus side Bailey Fritzl played his annual Gary Ablett Sr game against us.
  • BUT before I microwave the ol' membership I'm assuming the following didn't play?..Higgins, Goldy Cunners, Taz, JZ, BBB, Larkey, Jy, TT, Polecat?
  • For comparison Melbourne was missing Gawn, Oliver, Jones, May, Salem, Petracca, Viney, Lever, Hibberd, McDonald and Jetta.

What can I say, I think I'll just indulge in a bit of schadenfreude

 

Their famous shinboner spirit will need to be at least 50% proof this year on that assessment. That said I'll still have a few $$ on them to turn us over by under a kick in Hobart again ?


Honestly if I were a North supporter I'd be pretty dirty with the effort they served up with more senior players and on their home turf.

That said, it all means so little. And rewatching the game we were very solid defensively but it was pretty easy to get the ball back as long as we stayed with a decent structure and pressure they'd cough it up. 

When it was our turn with the ball we had some nice Melksham moments, a couple of lovely Trent Rivers kicks, a bit of class from Brayshaw, some clean hands around the contest from Spargo, a couple of AFL forwards in Fritsch and Brown making space and that one nice team goal capped off by Bedford.

But watching Coll v Richmond today it was clear that even though our young boys cracked in very hard and worked well they'd be about 15 goals off the Collingwood side that played today even without Grundy, Pendles, Sidebottom, Moore and Howe. Or about the same margin vs our team that played Marsh1 v Adelaide. The game is just completely different when the best players are out there.

Well, we just wouldn't know would we? It didn't happen, so you're just guessing, (admittedly based on your superior knowledge garnered through lots of game/practice watching). Seriously though, why make that particular comment? Can't I have a little positivity? I went and watched the game and I thought many of our players (that we have high hopes for), showed a bit.

Could you, or anyone please tell me how to watch this game?      I’m overseas and can’t find it on “WatchAFL” or the MFC or AFL sites.  
Thanks very much

The Kane Cornes of Demonland, except Kane knows a bit about football....

What they’re saying at Arden Street is what many would be saying here if we were performing as badly as they are at the moment. Think back 6 months ago.

That said, I was somewhat bemused to read in today’s HUN that Josh Walker and Aiden Bonar are North’s pre-season heroes. Neither did much in Friday’s game and, based on their form at other clubs, I would be worried if these players were my club’s pre season heroes.

I’m told old Dee would be pleased about having Bonar and thinks Walker would be useful in combination.

Mrs Old was not sold on the idea.

Bonar is very overrated. His form in the NEAFL was average at best and North supporters pumped him up to be the second coming of Christ.

They are in for a rude shock.. Sparrow taught him a lesson last Friday.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
