A couple of times we’ve been caught out going forward with turnovers because have they been pushing back hard defensively and we are getting outnumbered .

Melbourne's defence is hard to beat.

they've split us open now

Good reality check. Stops the uncalibrated preseason chugging off.

Not a bad quarter of football but we saw about 5 minutes of play from the Dees that shows the difference between the Premiers and Wooden Spooners. They are a class above and we saw it late in that quarter.

They move the ball quickly we were not able too

Melbourne too strong and too good for us to play silly.

Melbourne read the ball ahead of what we are doing as much as its about poor execution.

We stagnate we should be playing on quickly but Melbourne don’t allow it

Melb numbers behind the ball and numbers in front of the ball....

We are winning out fair share of contests but the Melbourne backline is picking off everything.

Melbourne with ascendency across the ground. Running with numbers, more numbers around the contest, cleaner with the footy.

Melbourne are very good at smothering kicks in close

How long till Round 1, 2023?

They are just out working us on the spread offensively and working back a lot harder defensively. There are a lot of lessons today let’s hope we learn from them .

We're getting crushed by melbs stronger mids.

There are a lot of skill errors, but most of those would be because of the pressure being applied by the defending premiers.

We just hemorrhaged 8 goals in a row and as soon as the pressure came we played like under 10s

Their last two games were an absolute dismantling of Geelong, and then kicking 46 goals in a row to smash the Dogs and win a flag.

Melbourne are really good

At the ground, effort is ok skills & structure the glaring difference. 
Seems an odd set up with the personnel we have on the field, allowing them huge outnumber behind the ball playing into their hands. likewise around the contest their positioning is much effective, better spacing allowing clearer outlets despite what looks like an extra there for us.

It's still hard to believe what I am reading!

Only a practice game but how good are Melbourne how bad are North or is it both.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
