We so far seem to lack the killer instinct. A little mongrel, like Vegemite, goes a long way.

i wouldn't say that. more like we have lacked a bit of accuracy infront of goals

very pleased how boys have played out games without letting up

    Sparrow or Jordan perhaps? 

    Jordon will play. Goody said as much in a mid week presser

    I was at that infamous match.

    Even if we had won, we would have been thrashed by Carlton in the GF the following week.

    We will never know that!

    you are not alone, od. my 98yo mil in nursing home is 1a and has no idea when she will get it. same for rest of nursing home.

    i'm 1b. at least my gp has me on wait list but no idea when he will get supply

    fortunately there's no covid out and about (yet)...... 

    I see there are 6 cases in quarantine in the NT all off a flight from India. I  am the same DC. On the list but no idea when. It is a shambles. That anyone in 1b has been given the vaccine before 1a is finished is a discrace.

    Petty is a definite starter and he was always going to be. I found it hard to believe that some Posters didn’t have him coming in this week. 

    Despite there being a natural vacancy, he absolutely needs this game before being even more required against the Tigers next week.

    Petty has done his apprenticeship, hes impressed all preseason and in all practice games.  He even impressed at a few AFL games at the end of 2019.   What we know is he can take a grab and has great timing in his leap.

    He would be bursting at the seams to get out there on the MCG after not playing all of 2020.   Excited to see him out there.

    Going to be a star.

    Reckon they will play Sparrow and Rivers will be the sub. Just a guess.

    I would hope not...

    Don’t agree. I was also at that match. We had real momentum, in spite of the loss of Flower, who was absent for at least half the match. It was our dropped marks in the final quarter which were crucial. We were superior in all other aspects of the game. One of the saddest days of my demon life. 

    The only concilation is that Jim Stynes subsequently had a fabulous career and did play in the 1988 GF as a precursor of a powerful 1990s for the club, but sadly no flag.

    An absolute disgrace. I’ve been trying to get my mum a vaccine. She is a nurse at an aged care hospital and over 65. When I plugged in her details it said, she is phase Ia, we are currently in phase 1b. My bollocks we are!

    i know young people in the health industry that have been able to get it and they don’t even see patients. A bloody joke. Nurses etc are risking their lives for us and wearing masks/shields etc all day long

    Rivers looked a bit tired last week and we will have more than enough drive from the backline with Salem, Hunt and Hibberd.  

    Besides its not ideal for Sparrow to be sub 2 weeks in a row.  We will know in two hours.

    That about covers it DD and these are the same people who tell us they can run quarantine for over seas returnees. HA HA.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
