I was really happy to see us keep another team to 5 goals.

Good signs.

Oliver took big steps again in the right direction. 

Offense still needs a lot of work, but it is getting better. 

Do it in the big games now

Well done Dees we belted the 2 bottom teams and that is what we had to do now for the test against the Pies.

Petracca BOG again. Oliver continuing his great form Brayshaw played great replacing Viney.

The young guns are the story of the night Kossie electrifying, great game from Dogga to beat the 3rd best ruckman in the league in Goldstein. Sparrow and Rivers deserve a mention as well.

A special mention to Spargo I thought he was cooked but he deserves another game after that effort well done son

Completely unfair. Which game were you watching mate? Spargo was involved in pretty much every Melbourne scoring chain for the match. Just wow.

Yep, 77% game time,  7 score involvements (=4th most on ground) out of 12 disposals. Basically when he gets involved he creates.

He also had more disposals in the first half than the second.

We ran into the two worst teams in the comp at the perfect time....smacked them off the park and hopefully that gives the boys confidence to go on with this season. Agree that Gus always plays way better when Jack is out, not sure what to do about the balance of our midfield when both are fit

Play Jack forward as a defensive forward who can also kick straight! But still has midfield time as required.

Jackson, Kozzie, Pickett, Sparrow.

Injecting some serious talent into our side once again.

Spargo was back to his best. Kept it simple and used the ball well. Courageous going in for that ball against Daw and bounced up like nothing happened.

Lever was our best backman by a mile. Kept everything in check. 

I also thought Tomlinson was good. He rarely wasted the footy and gave us some good drive.

Langdon is a ridiculously hard worker. His running ability and workrate to create space and option on the outside cannot be faulted. 

Petracca, Oliver, Brayshae.. all simply brilliant.

Hands up who think our midfield functions when Gus is in there full time instead of Viney?

 

Yes he does play better in the middle. Question is was he more damaging than Viney? 

Posted

I know Viney has been one of our best this year, but Brayshaw offers so much more in the middle. He is really damaging with his disposal where Viney just seems to gain territory without actually generating any scoring opportunities. 

What to do with Viney?

I despise North Melbourne.

I just went back and watched the 1st qtr because i knew the free kick count on afl.com was wrong. i counted 3-14 in favour of North if you include the 50 metre penalty. Funnily enough that was their best quarter.

Positives: Trac, Lever, Clarry, Weid, Jackson and Rivers all brilliant for me. A lot of people on here loving Spargo's game, maybe i need to rewatch, thought he was good not outstanding.

Negatives: Harmes once again with the ill discipline. Goal Kicking was poor.

A really cathartic win.

I hate North and their fans.  It sucks we have been owned for so long by such a boring, rubbish and broke club  but the tables just turned.

Despite copping it from the demonlanders (myself included), T'mac and spargo both keep there spots for next week i reckon. 

They were both really good tonight, hats off to them, t'mac tackled hard presented well and kicked a goal to top it off. Spargo was very clean with his disposal and provided great pressure. 

Petracca and Oliver superb and Angus is really starting to get back to it. 

Next week will be a serious test. Up the mighty demons!!!

It's very hard to pick up on TV (as opposed to being at the game) but I suspect his pace is making it much harder for the opposition backs to organise themselves against us.

Tomlinson was a good avenue on the other wing. Both were assets in this game. Spacemakers, runners, eyes-up team members. ?

It's a strange feeling, being comfortable that we're not going to fold in the last quarter.

I could get used to it.

Norf had no idea or game plan, just awful.  Said to my young fella even when they were leading that we were a better team, waaaay better.

Throw in the comedic timing of Andrew Gaze and it's like sitting through a major surgery without so much as an aspirin to kill the pain.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
