And they had the good sense to select Logan McDonald at pick 4 in the draft. North, the fools, passed on him. 

Hardly fools mate. Will Phillips is going to be one of the best players in the competition in a few years.

    Unbelievable game from two A grade teams.

    The crowd behind Bruce as he was running onto the ball at the end reminded me of Hannan’s run against Geelong in 2018. Gave me goosebumps.

    North’s list management recently has been dubious to say the least.

    They let BB go so you would think a replacement was the go and quality tall forward don’t come around too often in the draft

    Logan McDonald was cutting his teeth in the WAFL last year against grown men. You can tell. He has slotted 7 majors from 2 games.

    Will Phillips may turn out to be a very good player in a few years like you say. Logan McDonald is ready made.

    Not trying to be a hindsight Harry here but North should have picked McDonald.

    Great game of footy. Both teams so clean with their hands. 34 Williams for doggies just about the coolest head in the game at the moment. Got the dogs out of a few tight moments in the last quarter.

    Hoping for some sore GWS boys from tonight’s match. I see it is 30 degrees there now. Tough conditions

    Only 1/4 time, but so far not seeing anything from GWS that will seriously challenge the Dees on Easter Sunday in Canberra.

    Giants looking very ordinary. The heat will come on Cameron if they continue to play like this

    Just looked at our run home.. horrendous to say the least

    would be good if a few of those 7-12 teams were out of the running early.

    GWS is one of them. Loss today and fingers crossed another loss next week would severely dent their chances.

    Who are the others.... Hawks and Sydney come to mind. Freo perhaps along with Carlton

    Yep, that is why we need to be 8-2 if we are serious this year. After Tigers we have an easy run

    GW$ are still damaged from their 2019 GF Thrashing 

    We need to obliterate them next week, hope the rain has cleared up by then

    Bullies looked unbelievably good tonight didn’t they?! so clean when it really mattered. We’ve pretty much got the raw materials to compete with these teams i reckon but we feel wasteful and out of tune atm. Hoping we find our real flow and finish.

    Swans have a dream fixture:  Teams they play twice: Suns, Giants, Ess, Freo and Saints.  Only the Saints made finals last year

    Very hard to see the Swans not make finals this year and with that fixture they may even end up top 4..

    Swans have been the surprise packet for sure. But I’d be surprised if they make finals. Suns, Giants, Saints, Freo are no easy beats. 
    swans will be good in a couple of years but they have so many kids. Kennedy is 33 soon. They don’t have enough senior players imo. If not for their academy gifts they’d be in trouble

    Get your money on the Demons next week now before the odds shift any further.  We should smash them.  they look disinterested, no tall forwards, defence horrible.  

    T Mac to kick a bag next week!

    Thanks. Put $20 on at $1.98 then thought wow, thats very good! So as i looked it went to $1.85 for the win. Still chucked the other $20 on it. I think a few others took your advice.

    Giants will cop it in the media this week so next week will be a tough game 

    Was just going to say the same thing. They will get a roasting during the week and turn up to our game with a point to prove.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
