I feel very sorry for some of these kids. They’re playing so well, clearly too good for this level, but good luck getting a game. Chandler, Bradford, Weideman, Sparrow, not to mention Harmes and Jetta are all AFL quality players. If they played for North they’d be playing senior footy every week. 
I suppose that’s the downside of being a bloody good side. 

Majak playing well. Good luck getting a game ahead of Gawn, Jackson, McDonald, Brown and Weideman tho son ?

Munro with a nice snap followed by another contested mark and goal to Weid.

4 goals in a row for Casey.

 

Weid with a good contested mark and finishes with a goal. He’s got two early and the margin is 24pts already. 

If we don’t get Weideman into the senior side, he will go to Collingwood and be a star ?

I don’t feel sorry for them.  I’m thankful we are finally strong enough to force players to earn spots.  They all get paid.  Previous years of deck chairs being shuffled gladly behind us...

I don’t actually feel sorry for them. I’m sure they rather play seconds for a strong team than play for a side like Norf. 

What’s really pleasing is Casey are playing very similarly to how Melbourne play. There’s a clear sign that both playing groups know how the entire club top to bottom wants to go about their business. 


Sparrow with an incredible ball to Weid who just misses, nearly 3 in the first for Weid who is close to BOG

If you thought North's senior team have been ordinary this year then don't be surprised that their reserves aren't that good either.

Hit the post! ?‍♂️


Weid another contested Mark hand passes to sparrow who shanks it around the body. Could have had 10 this quarter.

qtr time 4.6 30 plays 0.2 2

Weid, Sparrow, Jetta the best so far.

Casey % 200

North % 36

this could be interesting. Weed will be kicking the door down for selection after tonight you’d imagine 

Same outcome as Sunday's going to be an absolute spanking. Weed lining up for his 3rd in the 1st quarter. 

Norf can't even get over the half way pinned in their own half.  Dees 30 v Norf 2.

Was that Paul Roos in the North box?

Wish Weid had taken the kick then, a bit more accuracy and finishing and this could be 40+ already ?.

Probably. His son is playing for them

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
