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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
