And yet, how many hundreds of millions has been spent at that cesspool?

there's a lot of pagan at the baggers about it

WWSW, I was wanting to articulate why I thought it. Yours is a good comparison. I guess I just think that, like players, they can just lose whatever made them successful. And love or hate him, he's been a bit of a walking headline for awhile. That doesn't normally auger well.

Just have a gut feel that Alastair Clarkson's coaching stint at Norf won't end well. 

Just like the start and the middle.

Hah Rab, he was a winner and so were his teams.

How many years does the competition endure North like this for? They’ve got the champion experienced coach, the extra high draft picks, the father sons, and they are still a blight on the comp. 


I see a lot of Melbourne 2008/2009 with North, in that they think young kids will help them rise. It wasnt until Roos & Jackson came onboard that we started heading in the right direction.

Kids alone won’t do it, and with North’s poor quality leaders, who’s going to drive the standards?

Hi RtG. I meant at North.

We wouldn’t need Langdon and Windsor if we played on this ground. 

I just had a quick look online and it looks like shallow or straight wings are the norm at SANFL grounds. Even the old Adelaide Oval had pretty much the same dimensions as this one tonight.

Now I agree with that Rab!! :)

To be fair, I do look at a bloke like Cameron Zurhaar, and think he will never reach the level I thought he might. Poor decision maker and maybe a product of playing in a poor team. We can relate.

Absolutely DD. And I think they've nailed the timeslot for this match. Non -event

Not sure if this hurts or helps us. 
On the one hand Brisbane are regrowing their confidence and will be able to rest some players if this continues to blow out in the second half. 
On the other hand it is difficult to change gears to a hard contest after an easy win..

26-9 inside 50’s. Ouch.

Lions on track to kick more goals than North’s total inside 50 count 🤮

I know. It's hard to believe we were once that bad.

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
