It was Round 10, 2022 …

NORTH MELBOURNE 
3.0.18 6.1.37 8.3.51 8.5.53
 
The undefeated Demons bearing the indigenous name of our city beat North Melbourne at the Docklands for the first time ever in their ninth meeting at the venue. They were by no means dominant against the lowly Kangaroos and it took until the last quarter before they finally shook off their plucky opponents.

Odd spot: The Demons haven’t played North Melbourne at the MCG since April 2018. The victory broke a long time losing streak against the Kangaroos but can you guess who the top goalkickers were for each side that day?

 

Tom McDonald’s last game for the year … coincided with our fall from premiership favourite to not even getting in the preliminary finals.

For Melbourne - the great Tommy Bugg kicked four goals and for North Melbourne, the great BBB also booted four. I think Brown should forget the haircuts in future and grow his hair back to previous lengths.

Yes was at that game. Garlett, Kemp and Waite kicked 3. Hogan and Cunnington very good.

Like last year at Marvel Roos were hard at it and didn’t break until Q4.

Why is everyone laying into Benny Brown?  He kicked 9 goals in the first 3 rounds of this year.

  • 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 The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.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.
