    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?

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
