    Gee I'm sure Shaun Higgins does not regret his decision to move at all. also I wonder if Josh Dunkley is thanking his lucky stars he did not move to the bummers. 

    I'm not a fan of north but I do feel for there coach and I hope roosy and others give him some support. Although he wasn't a favourite Mark Neeld did cop a lot of heat and not a lot of support back then. 

    So next week nth play the crows at marvel, what crowd number do you think they will get and will the crow fans outnumber the nth fans?

    I'm looking forward to seeing them get flogged by 100+ points ?

    The Pies may not be the finest chocolates going around at the moment but they almost always give a 100% red hot go every game, making them a hard team to beat.

    I would not even give them a millimeter let alone an inch.  Replay that match ten times over they probably win eight of them and they're looking ok and one of the team's to beat.

    I must admit their forward line looks flakey though and too reliant on DeGoey kicking 4 to 5 each week to get them over the line.

    Hoewever as we know, footy is very fickle, occasionally decided by the mere direction a ball bounces (see Milne 1st drawn GF 2010).

    While they still have Pendles & Sidebottom (when in form) running around, write off the Pies at your peril.

    I was referring to the kangas. Collingwood are still a dangerous team and no easy beats.

    If the AFL hand us (Tasmania) this steaming [censored] it’s just proof of their contempt for the push for a team. “You wanted a team, here it is. Enjoy.” ? 

    Yep. No one wants them

    They should have gone to the Gold Coast when the offer was there

    Is it too early for us to start packing up and moving to Arden St? 
     

    (Good digs and a train station coming soon - will be a mini CBD soon enough with a footy oval in the middle)

    North's percentage after 3 rounds is 37.3%. outside of Essendon I cannot think of a side they would be a chance to beat. It is quite likely they will go all season without a win and less than 50%.

    We can all thank chookrat when Tom Dyson kicks 7 goals, 1 after the siren to beat us, in their only win of the season and we miss finals by 0.0000001% (to Collingwood or Essendon)

    Maybe we will see a 100 goal season by a forward this year. I’d like to see that, any chance it can happen?

    Could easily happen if Forward Lines are open

    Nought are the reason we have the Gold Coast $un$

    I feel no Sympathy ? 

    I'm glad we have the Sun's and I'm glad North are still in Melbourne. Anyone wishing death or relocation on other teams should have a good hard look at themselves. What happened to Fitzroy (and almost us and Hawthorn) should never happen again. Remember North and Fitzroy wanted to merge but were blocked by the AFL and the other clubs.

    There should be room for only one Melbourne in the Competition 

    Nought should never have been allowed in back in 1925

    Always Hated them, Always will

    Ouch, I just opened the AFL app to see what happened. This could be the beginning of the end for North if they aren’t careful. 

    They’ve almost certainly lost the Good Friday game for next year, they will be a terrible team for at least the next couple of years and after pushing so hard for it you can’t put up such an insipid performance. 

    We’ve been there, it really sucks.

    I am not sure who the main commentator for the adelaide/suns clash is ( maybe that Dwayne Russell type ) but every time that blinking Walker goes near the ball he has absolute multiples. He is worse than Mcevany.

    Ben King has 4 goals already.  Tex doing well again. Bruce kicking 10.

    Its the year for big forwards....  Benny Brown would have kicked 80 this year if he played a full season.. we need him and Weid back!

    one thing the new STAND! rule has done is definitely open up leading space

    i'm really excited to see what brown can do

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
