THE LAST TIME THEY MET

north melbourne v melbourne

Posted July 30, 20232 yr

MELBOURNE 8.2.50 13.3.81 16.4.100 22.7.139

NORTH MELBOURNE 1.0.6 2.3.15 4.6.30 7.7.49

Earlier this year, the Demons smashed the lacklustre Kangaroos who were struggling after a bright start under Al Clarkson’s coaching. They had five goals on the board before you could blink and injuries to some of the North players didn’t help their cause. A few late goals prevented them from suffering a 100 point plus humiliation.

How convenient it is for Al Clarkson to return to the coaching fold this week against his old club Melbourne.

Will this provide the Demons with the danger game that greets opposition clubs when there’s a change of coaches? 😀

The Kangas have improved under Ratten even if they didn’t win games. They should have kept him in as coach for the remainder of the season and re-set next year under Clarko.

Despite their improved form and the fact that they lost 3 or 4 close ones, the AFL is going to gift them plenty of draft concessions at the end of the year.

Clarkson sure to go with youth.

A danger game this is not.

North were beyond putrid in the first half against us. Really pathetic. We would have won by 130+ points if we hadn’t taken our foot off the gas.

They are much better now than when we played them the first time this year.

No they're not. They're on a 17-game losing streak and just got beaten by the eagles.

I had forgotten that our first quarter score defeated their full time score.

Surely we cover the 43 point line if it's dry

Just hope it's not a windy game like we saw at Casey on the weekend.

Apart from the ugly spectacle it will likely help to keep them in the game for longer.

The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

Thank You Simon Goodwin
Thank You Simon Goodwin

As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
