That was easy. North have a long hard road to travel.

everyone performed but I’m not convinced Schache is the answer. Let’s see how he goes against the suns.

    I can’t be bothered going to find the thread but Chandlermodium stocks must be about equal with Apple’s after that.

    Goodwin was so happy he high fived his security guards

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    Just need the antidote for the woman behind me to shut up because we didn't win by 100 points.

    The only downside was the missed 100.

    Go Dees!

    At least we cracked the ton. 
     

    For a team coming off 5 days, with a trip up to GC, the switch off to preserve a couple of percent for next week is fine by me.

    Everything clicked. Clear night at the G. Beautiful to watch. Crowd was pretty lame, but it’s North. No injuries. Seagulls absolutely rampant all game. What happened to the falcon? Onto next week.

    When was the last time we kicked 22.7? How good has our goal kicking been this year.

    Asked for a 15 goal win in the pregame thread, got exactly that. 
     

    Should’ve won by more.

    Great win, made even better with the memory of North beating us time after time for years.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    Yeah.

    Only the dees.

    Sheesh.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

    At least the players showed up, cos the supporters definitely didn’t. Shocking crowd for a club with almost 60k members.

    Yep. Pathetic crowd. Perfect weather. You knew it was gonna be a probable giant win. Last home game for a month. Rubbish turnout.

    And I reckon half of those behinds were rushed. Probably we just missed a couple of set shots.

    Very professional effort on a short break. Flashes of excellent ball movement and mostly the right tempo. 

    The most pleasing part was the unselfish work of our forwards. Fritsch and Pickett clearly got the message after some of their efforts last year and it’s great to see it spread through the side.

    And why do you think that is? And remember they ended up with 3 players on the bench due to injury.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back)

    And will get the same result with BBB.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
