To be fair, my shoelace is also too good for this level of game. Norf are horrible. Just horrible. 

Have 13 or 14 players on their injury list ATM so I imagine they struggled to even field a side.

Harmes is extremely overrated on demonland. 

Had one good year in 2018 playing as a stopper but he makes far far too many mistakes. Fumbles, miakicks and handballs and tries to take everyone on. 

Even before his injury, he had a really underwhelming start to the year. 

Likes his instagram account a bit too much imo. 

Sparrow looked 10x better which is a bit concerning for Harmes

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Nice to see Paul Roos and Jetta having a chat. Genuinely hope we keep Jetta around the club after this season. A champion human.

Kind of agree with this. Been seven years on the list and was great in late 2018 but nothing much else. It's a nice story growing up a Melbourne supporter but it beggars belief why he was given a five-year deal.

[monoccular 17,607]

Only saw bits and pieces of the game but, at least to me, Sam Weideman just seems to lack intensity and the ability to get involved.

[dees189227 12,441]

Wow , gee you wonder how nth are going to get better when there 2nd's team gets belted by 107 points. 

So is Daw injured or did they rest him in the last half? 

Yeah I hope weidermna sticks around? What's his contract situation? Unfortunately tommy is probably the one keeping him out by playing great footy at them moment. But at least when Sam does come in he will be full of ocnfidence.

Sparrow was fantastic as was Weideman. He needs to come in next week.

Harmes was honestly average for me. I see nothing that suggest he'll add much to our side anytime soon. I get more satisfaction in James Jordon and Sparrow at AFL level now that I do with Harmes.

Chandler and Bedford were buzzing around the half forward and their work rate was huge.

Jake Bowey has a serious serious kick on him.

Yes the 5 year deal for an average player who had 1 really good year was crazy.  Collingwood showed what happens when you overpay players.

North being so poor made it almost impossible to know what to take out of that match.  My conclusions:

-  nobody smashed the door down tonight;

-  Casey played the Melbourne way, which is a very good sign

Crazy length in hindsight but in fairness he's likely only on solid coin nothing more

Nah Mono, he was quite good the whole match. Took 10 marks and smashed several packs... hit them hard. Kid had a really good game regardless of the quality of opposition. He looks a different player to last year.

While im at it, i thought Chandler showed some real silk as well. Rosman has a gigantic tank and looks a perfect prospect for a wing. I thought the hype was OTT, but he actually did very well for a young bloke with so little experience. 

P.S. despite what the commentators said, i thought Sparrow had a much better game than Harmes, and the Beanpole Bradke gave it his all and wasnt useless. Majak early was right on top in the guts too.

Easy to look good in a 107 point win, but this is what we should be dong to keep pressure on the senior players.

 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

Sparrow and Chandler excellent. Rosman and Bowey will both be quality players. Weid works hard between contests but needs to do similar for defensive efforts, should have kicked 6-7. No Baker, M Brown, Petty. I would not be surprised if we took all as travelling emergencies.

Another goal to Foot. Lead is 86 points.

Foot. Great Game. What's his first name? He kicked 3 tonight in the smashing of NM by over 100 points!!!!!!!!! Why is he not on the MFC website under TEAMS?

Thanks ding.  As I said, only saw bits and pieces and only one of Sam’s goals.

Nah he was very good. Worked hard and competed well in the air. Really should’ve had six or seven. A couple of simple ones missed by his standard. He’s putting priceless pressure on T Mac to maintain his current form.

It is, stupid Bing search function :)

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Cant help but think Weideman would have 20 goals in the AFL if he had played the first 6 games. Hes too good for VFL.

Good on Tom McDonald for his start to the year but the Brown/Weid/LJ trio is where the gold will be.

Zac. Casey listed player. Played 2 games for Sydney.

[P-man 13,366]

One eyed supporter calling it early but I reckon we are looking at another draft nailed. Rosman and Bowey have class written all over them.

[djr 1,605]

Jake Bowey will be a really good player. Very similar to Christian Salem. Rosman shows promise. Doesn't know how to weaponize his exceptional endurance at the moment.

Zac Foot. 3 goals in a Casey Demons 100+ thrashing of NM reserves . Love it!

[kev martin 10,501]

Sparrow was very composed, the connection with Weids was great, showed some lovely field passes, needs to nail those snaps for goal.

Weids is leading well, taking marks and making his way up the ground. Seemed to get distracted within his thoughts of a play that just happened and then switched off. 

Good that Jetts was given some time as a negating mid. Still has plenty to offer. 

Bowey takes a while to get into the game, but then shines. What a good kick he has.

Unsure about Harmes, had a great 3rd quarter. Seemed lost in the first half, shouldn't happen at that level.

Chandler can play!

Majak can mark, gets to the right place, can crash a pack and rucks well.

Bedford works hard, has confidence and speed.

Rosman did some lovely passes.

D. Smith needs a bit more time.

Bradke has improved,  needs a bit more muscle development.
