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.

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
