Dunstan, Tomlinson and Bedford are too good for this level. Beautiful pass by Van Rooyen also. Lots of great stuff going on here. Woewodins ability to give a chop out kick across half back is also brilliant.

    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.

    It’s almost embarrassing to have players like Dunstan, Tomlinson, Weed, Bedford etc at Casey. They are too good for this level.

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

    Majak Daw dominating the ruck against Monkhurst. 

    It's laughable how easy it is for Majak today. I reckon he'd be No. 1 Ruck at about 6 AFL sides.

    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.

    Van Rooyen kick's h

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
