Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Pickett - did just enough 

Spargo - ultimate team man

Bedford - speed was impressive 

Bowey - uncharacteristically quiet game

Rivers - tough and reliable

    Brown - was very poor

    Generous assessment of Gawn, today was not his best. 
     

    McKay had the strength to negate Brown’s height advantage.

    Ooops, Who the big oaf on Brown? I didn’t have a record to check & know none of the North players.

    I thought Brown and Gawn had their poorest game for the season. Dunstan was a butcher in the first half can't see that he was excellent in the first half.

    It was Josh Walker. Corr was on Tmac.

    Brayshaw better second half

    Dunstan  connected better later

    Gawn eventually clunked some

    Melksham strictly cameo goal

    Lever was Best on Ground for mine. Went quiet when the game was done but otherwise he killed every contest he couldn’t mark.

    Plays from behind far too often for mine.  Needs to work harder (Earlier!!) to get front position and keep it.

    Plugga Mac, while no super star forward, works his [censored] off in this regard and sometimes gets rewarded for it.  A few examples of this during the game tonight.

    Agree he should have kicked somewhere between two to four goals (minimum) tonight given the amount of entries.

    Did you notice a player in number 13 for us?

    He was so far BOG, that he may have got all 6 votes from the umpires and I for one would say that wasn’t even enough.

    I have never seen anyone do some of the things he does.

    We had Robbie the most skilled player I have ever seen.

    We now have Clarrie, the best contested possession player I have ever seen, who I am simply in awe of and am so grateful he is one of ours.

    Thank you Jason Taylor.

    All three had worst games for 2022 so glad that's behind them.

    Yeah, nah.  Brayshaw started terribly but worked his way into the game.  Gawn was asked to play a different role - He and Jackson had a near 50/50 split of centre square attendance.  We actually won clearance well and Gawn was two straight kicks of having a great game (1.2 v 3.0).  Brown didn't play well but it'd be the first time in a while.

    Of course I saw Clarrie, Petty was down, May was quiet, lever killed contest after contest.

    Ive said here that I think Clarrie will more than likely be our best ever player by careers end. But Lever to me was impassable, when north surged, there was Lever.

    And I don’t care what the umps do with their midfield award, I value more than possessions (that’s a dig at umps, not Clarrie)

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
