Shiiit what a borefest...

Our boys haven't turned up. 

I've taken to counting the number of consecutive effective disposals in a row we can do. (<2m Handballs don't count)

Best I saw in first quarter were two consecutive kicks to a team mate.

Try it, it distracts you from the horror of it all and watching this club destroy talented youngsters careers over and over again.

Clearly we are a tall option short today -  time and time again goody proves he can’t pick the right team.

 

We haven’t been bad on the ground but when the ball is in the air we are uncompetitive.

Fritz just shouldn’t be dropping that mark at this level. If he takes that and converts we’d be a goal behind which would be reflective of the game.

Hey Goody, you have potentially the best rover in the AFL in the forward line. I will leave it to work out who, but, think Jimmy Krakoeur. Move out some of the flat foot four.l

Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form. 

I believe 1987 was the last time Tom McDonald took a mark or kicked a goal. 
Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me. How is he a worst option than playing no forwardline. 

We have the worst forward line In the league comfortably. No marking targets. Our list management decisions in throwing the bank at defenders has cost us a chance to have a run at the flag. Unless we can find a trade target in the off season this list build has been a waste of time.

North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.

Absolutely agree. Who owns those decisions. May is the laziest footballer and Lever has no impact whatsoever. It has assigned us to another rebuild.


TMac has broken Stewarts collarbone

Tom Stewart done for the day with a broken collarbone apparently.

We'll see if that makes a difference to our forward line.

Yes and yes 

Stewart done for the day. 

How we going with Inside50 stat? That's the one that counts, that's the one that indicates 'potential'.

Thought the umps were fine. If Fritsch could take a chest mark and Kozzie could convert a soda we’d be about level. Cats just took their very few chances. We didn’t.

Dangers 50 was soft. 
AVB kicked the ball (looked bad but did connect)

their short kicks didn’t go over the ‘grass lines’ but were paid 15m

Kossie stopped play but was still called play on. 

yeah they were fine. 

Tom Stewart down. Our forward line needs every bit of help it can get.


Brayshaw's kick inside 50 is classic Melbourne. Has plenty of time, but either the forwards don't lead to the right spot or the kick is poor, or both, and we can't make the most of the clearance.

  • 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.

    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.
