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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
