This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

I'm nervous

except for the last 6 years against them.

    Who is the sub?

    I want them all to play

    Hawks aren’t as terrible as a lot of people think and Mitchell is a smart coach who will do everything to disrupt our game…:that said you’d expect class to win out in the end and us to get home by 25-35 points

    Some trivial posting.

    I noticed that the spider cam was not at the Colly Saints game.

    At our last G game, the techs game out at half-time to adjust it.

    Read somewhere that the broadcast vision was fuzzy.

    Maybe the ball that hit it in a previous game, has caused problems. 

    Spider may be down again.

    May to shut down Lewis. they don’t have many tall threats after that

    midfield is developing but young

    backline average. 

    we would need to have an off day to lose this

    Just Chol and that's probably about it. Who gets him?

    I think this game will be won in the middle and as usual our Python like backline.

    I hope lever performs better today. He's been a bit lack lustre the first few games.

    who are we thinking for the sub? out of the 5 below it’s a tough call  

    1. WINDSOR
    2. HORE
    3. Oliver
    4. Petty
    5. T Mac

     

    I reckon Windsor if the sub has to be from the “Thursday night selected“ bench.

    Otherwise Sparrow.

    Thanks 

    That's a big bet on Petty's fitness.

    Not sure if I like it. Could bite us.

    Like this a lot. Stretch the Hawks with attacking talls, was alway unlikely we’d need TMac and Hore as tall backs. Plus keeps Windsor’s speed on the park.

    Sitting next to a hawks fan on the tram . He says his Hawks WERE terrible last week.

    Go dees

    Great man to bring in ... sitting on the bench, watching and learning the opposition weaknesses, relieving Petty after a first hit-out, doing his thang to the Hawks' forwards, some merit in the ideas ...

    • 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.
