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

    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.

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

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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
