And North’s best players are Hore and Tyson!!!

Who’s keeping Tyson out of North’s side? You’d think with their form an experienced in and under mid would go alright? 
I was sad to see Hore go, he’s got so many good elements to his game, crueller by injury and our plethora of gun defenders. 
Jake Bell looks pretty good in the ruck, any chance of a sneaky mid-season pick?

Dunstan is putting on a clinic!

Jake Bell would be a perfect player to have on our list as a developing ruckman. His skills are really good.

Tyson isn't on North Melbourne senior list anymore. Just playing in their VFL squad.

Bedford does everything at pace and looks a cut above, just his finishing skills letting him down a little today which isn't normally an issue.

JVR looks super impressive a lot of potential in this bloke and hopefully gets a game sometime this year.

Daw dominating in the ruck but don't think his opponent is offering much of a challenge.

Tomlinson a rock down back and ready made key position depth.

Hope to see Laurie and Rosman more involved in the next half.

Apart from the fact that he’s no longer a listed North player, Father Time’s also keeping him out. 😀

I really like this broadcast.  Camera at a good height. Most of the time a reasonably wide angle vew but not so wide that players look like ants. And thankfully NO closeups of the player who has taken a mark or got a free.  Though I am at a loss as to whether the players have shaved this morning - something the Fox/7 broadcasts always keep me informed on.

There is a genuine risk we could lose players like Bedford, Tomlinson, Daw, Laurie etc... if we are not careful. They all look easily AFL standard each week and should be playing somewhere, maybe in a team that is developing or rebuilding. Dunstan and Weideman are curious to me - why they both chose to come/stay at the Dees when they are genuine starters in other teams.

This boy's going to be a player. Don't want to talk him up too much but he reminds me of a young David Schwarz.

He also reminds me of a young Jack Darling, although he’s a few centimetres taller already, back before Jack put on heaps of bulk and had a few injuries making him a little less mobile he and Van Rooyen moved almost the same way. He’s a real talent, great to be able to give him time to develop and then bring him into a champion team when he’s ready.

Agree on the "he is going to be a player bit".

He is really developing beautifully.

That mark earlier was great and he is a good kick and can hurt the opposition when he attacks the ball.

Another pre season and he could be best 22.

Only 5 North listed players playing compared to 13 Dees listed. Casey should romp it in.

Some observations based on how their game translates to AFL level:

Dunstan - A class above. 

JVR - Super impressive in the air. Always in the right position when flying for marks. Set up 2 goals at ground level also. Was beaten twice by Marty Hore at ground level in a one-on-one contest.

Daw - If Max gets injured, Majak is ready to to go. He's getting around the ground fine.

Weid - Is playing well, but has been out-positioned in marking contests on occasions. He doesn't have the presence of T Mac, or JVR for that matter.

Bedford - Nice to see him starting in the midfield. Getting excellent service from Daw and Bell. Has been good, but not a standout.

Tomlinson - Of the senior players, he's been the most disappointing. Playing loose man in the backline, he's racking up huge possessions, but defensively he's been poor. I've seen him caught out of position 4 times, two of which resulted in North goals. Then got caught holding the ball resulting in another goal.

Baker - VFL level only.

Of the kids, Turner has impressed. Woey and McVee look ok. Laurie, Rosman and Smith have been quiet.

Shoutout to the commentators. Best VFL callers this year.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
