Goodnight North. Bris won't give up the lead from here. You can run on belief for so long, but what happens when little doubts start to nag away and the belief slowly evaporates?

Amazing how well Daniher and Hipwood play when no North defenders play within 15m of them.

Norf overuse handball and also look to go through the corridor almost always,  even if it's not on.

Would love to see their kick to handball  ratio.

No run, run out of congestion or anyone running past the ball carrier either.

Mostly circle work with too many hot handballs and too many of those backward handballs, inviting ever increasing pressure.

Not sure whether this is the way Clarko's training them or they're failing to execute whatever else it is that he is asking from them.

Either way they're a complete rabble with a smattering of up & coming talent.

And as for Larkey.  My gosh.... softer than my cavoodle after a full wash, conditioner and fluffing!

They really have no dangerous forwards aside from Zurhaar on a really 'on' day.  Their other medium/small forwards are non-existent and the general delivery inside 50 is not even dog's breakfast worthy.

P.S. forgot Stephenson... nb

Geez poor defending yet again from Norf.

I posted the above an hour ago.

In that time defence has gone from poor to non existent !

I guess North just aren't ready yet 

Agreed.

If Freo miss the 8 by a game they’ll be kicking themselves that they somehow lost to North at home.

Have you ever seen the amount of rubbish left after a match at any ground? It’s astounding. After our Sydney match I had to return to where I’d been sitting and the amount of rubbish in the empty stands was overwhelming. It’s way more than you’d imagine. You don’t notice it when there’s people there but it really is an eye opener. 

I may be just old-fashioned, but I always take all my rubbish with me to the nearest bin on the way out. Is it too much to expect crowds to behave like responsible adults? I find it frustrating that it seems socially normal just to drop litter all over the place because it might be slightly inconvenient otherwise ... (and I guess that confirms that I am indeed old-fashioned).

Some of those cows would be better kicks than a number of Norf players


30 marks inside 50 for the Lions.... a club record.

Clarko's honeymoon officially over

It appears the honeymoon is over at Arden St.  How soon before we get a crack at them?

 

A training run since half time

North were never going to win this. They’re much improved but let’s not kid ourselves.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
