Interestingly the game may have been played in Sydney (for some strange reason) if the Hobart game fell through.

Thus the game may not have even been relocated to Marvel.

    I guess that is good news for our Tassie fans (all 3 of you? haha)

    Hope we can finally find a win at the wind tunnel.

    100 to one on is ridiculous odds in a two horse race, even in this contest where one of the horses is a thoroughbred champion and the other is a Shetland pony.

    You almost have to chuck 10 on them in an attempt to alleviate the shame of losing.

    It's an effort to get people to back North there would be vey few fronting up with their cash.

    Thanks for the help Clint. We got our tickets; Ricky Ponting Stand Bay 7, so you will be able to hear us where you are. Just look for the children and Nort fans we startle.

    Presumably the AFL had decided that the most important component of this match was to make Melbourne fly for about an hour to get to their.

    Is this the ground that routinely has an 8 goal wind blowing whichever way it feels like?

    Would be just our luck if the wind changed each quarter and the Kangas had the wind the whole game.   Only something that mental could stop the Dees juggernaut.

    We got Boon bay 12. Couldn’t get anything in Ponting for a group of our size (8). Not perfect but should beat the garbage we’ve had the last few times.

    Might do an Essendon fan and complain that the game wasn't moved somewhere more people could see it.

    Correct if I'm wrong but every time we play North at Blundstone they end up kicking with the wind in the first quarter meaning that we were always too knackered to take advantage of it in the last?

    The most minor of minor danger games this one, if we can't handle the wind.

    This will only be a danger game if Bombay Airconditioning  placed that bet back in early March that North would lose every game this year. If he placed it, we will drop this game for sure. Hopefully he didn't.

    We usually go to the Waterfront Hotel before and after. It's near the ferry stop and then a short walk to the ground. It gets pretty crowded but they have  a large outside area which is great when the weather's good, which it should be.

    Was going to suggest Waterfront. Only one within walking distance.

    Might have to wander in around 12 for a couple of pints before the game.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
