Not sure North are a rabble. 

Definitely not. They have some young A listers and a good coach.

I can't get a handle on Freo. In 2022 it looked like they were on the way to battling for a top 4 spot in 2023 but it's been all downhill

    North in the 70’s lost the first 6 games and then made the GF

    ’76 i think

    This piqued my interest and given the time I have on my hands, I looked it up on AFL Tables.

    In '76, they lost the first three games.  In '75, they lost the first four before going on to their first flag.

    They never lost the first six in the period 1974-78 when they made the GF every year.

    Luke Jackson, generational. What a loss for us 

    He’s a freak; but, sadly, we knew that.

    When he starts to run with the ball a bit and kick more he’ll tear matches apart.

    Another JT special.

    Apparently half the leagues recruiters didn’t have him as a top 5 pick back in 2019.

    May be top of the iceberg.
    Taylor called a beauty and wore a lot of criticism for it.

    Don't think we need to clap for Jackson this year.

    Fair chance ! The front on vision will [censored] him. He braced and turned into Cunningham in my view.

    No attempt to spoil or mark.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
