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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
