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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
