    Clearly we had the game looking a Melbourne game!

    Hopefully all the boys get through unscathed - It was meant to be full match sim.

    Reports indicate that we won but could have prevailed by more had we not eased off in the last half.

    i thought they could have won by more if they had kicked straight

    losing side are claiming they were crucified by the umpires

    Who's the player for the red team on Luke Jackson's left (that is, on the RHS of the photo)?

    If he plays on Saturday (VFL), plays well and pulls up ok, I'd imagine he would be an option for the team.

    If there was no chance, would he even be out there?

    I’d imagine his best chance is to get 2 games in the VFL and then be the sun coke a prelim? Plays fwd and back (and wing apparently) ..

    When Tmac has a full preseason, his endurance is right up there with ANB, and was able to play further up the field and on the wing.

    With limited running, I assume he would have to be an impact player coming off the bench. He creates a difficult match up and is dangerous as he can kick straight when takes a mark in the forward area.

    Your right about him being able to go back if needed.

    What I will be looking for when/if he plays in the VFL is his turning circle, ability to change direction, his capacity to run and chase, and whether he can get the ball.

    Do you remember that time that Viney thumped Tmac in a tackle at training? 6 years ago now!

    Whether he gets up or not, the doubt in the opposition would be palpable. Imagine if the Dees could announce a full list to select from going in to finals!

    This fallacy that T Mac plays wing goes back to 2018 when he in pre season trained on the wing and when he made the AFL in about Round5 he started fit snout 5 mins on the wing to warm up and run around before going to CHF. 

    For some reason a number of D/Lers want Tmac on the wing or say he can play a game there. Basically this is a nonsense as he is not conditioned to play that role in AFL even given he has a good tank enough to be a lively CHF who makes things fo much easier for the small forwards to crumb and goal.

    Tmac also ensures if he doesn't mark tbe ball in the CHF position sometimes as a high half forward or just leading to the wing like BBB does sometimes, his opponent dies not also and keeps the ball in our forward zone.

    It just always riles me when D/Lers want Tmac "on the wing " as they truly don't understand his proper role in the team. He is no more a winger than you or me. 
    Forget 2018 and his fleeting role but I sure rate him as a very important player in our 2022 team and can't wait for him to be fit for say a Prelim (or Semi Final) to bolster us up forward.

    So please give up this wing sh.t once and for all it's just fantasy in a real 2022 world. 

    PS As he showed in Round1 going back into defence is his forte though if we need him to. That is real. 

    Go Tmac!

    Yep! I was 5 meters away watching at Gosch’s paddock. Viney called him a weak c#@nt and told him to get up!

    Calm down pal. 
     

    In the 2021 pre season. It was clearly stated he was trained to play as a fwd and his secondary training position was on a wing.

    I’m not saying that’s where he should play just saying if he has been trained in the position, he could in theory play a quarter or 2 there as a sub if needed.

    • 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.
