Question.

Were Oliver and Trac cojoined twins at some stage. They have a great symbiotic relationship.

    Don't have Kayo so am enjoying myself following this on the North bigfooty game day thread. It's very satisfying having our team talked about like this.

    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.

    probably both. North haven't really fired a shot since 10 minutes into the first quarter...

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
