Wasted many many undergrad hours and brain cells at Naughtons. Didn't do us any good in that era. Mind you Vinnie Cattogio came and coached us for a couple of seasons before joining the mighty Red and the Blue.

    I'm hearing a rumour from a reliable source (Nudge), that Harmes, T. Mac, BBB and our future 4th will get the deal done. As a sweetener, we'll also offer them Dunstan.

    Ah Naughtons ... the home of the sporting drinkers.

    I was a Clyde man... great flounder and a pot for lunch

    I hear Naughtons is quite upmarket these days.

    O those days of Friday lunchtime bands and the Wizard........ I digress

    When the off-season has come
    And the mcg is dark
    And the trade period is the only light we'll see
    No, I won't be afraid
    Oh, I won't be afraid
    Just as long as Ben King nominates, nominates the dees

    You can have King, Wade, McKenna and Hudson in our forward line and still wouldn't kick a winning score. King just a youngster starting out whilst Wade had Goggin then Krakouers, Mckenna had Price etc hitting them up on the lead whilst Hudson had the whole forward line to himself. Until our current Mids learn to lower eyes and deliver correctly then no big name in our forward line will get us to the next premiership. Would prefer mids with elite disposal and awareness and stay with Petty JVR etc. Give me a Guilden like player and I'd be happy.

    Yes to all of that.

    Trouble is i believe there was some attempt to right the ship in 2021 which obviously paid off.

    Unfortunately we now appear to have regressed in 22/23 to pre 2021 methods of entry.

    If Goodwin, the FD and the MFC are serious about fixing things here we'll have a new forward line coach with serious cred coming on board for 24.

    Plus a really good crack at some new midfield talent with a bit of pace in the draft.

    Hopefully Sanders if we can snare him around pick 5

    All the aforementioned FFs knew how to lead into the path of the ball.  Had they been instructed to all gather in the pocket ready for a bomb they would never have achieved what they did.

    Are our FFs instructed NOT to lead, or haven't they and those upfield, and those instructing them,  thought it may be a good idea?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
