On the other hand nice that Jayden can sing the song today

This is the only reason I’m still watching this. But I expect I’ll have to endure the start of Bounce in order to see it. 

 

Bounce is a Sunday night staple

I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

More money from the AFL just like GWS and GCS etc.

AFL never makes hard decisions just like politicians. Too much backlash


Will someone from our FD watch this match and take notes,  irresponsible if they did not, 

Go Dee’s. Beat the tigers back on track 

If it was still Hardwick and not Ooze this would be more enjoyable 

After todays results its hard not seeing North finishing bottom 2 again. I'm starting to feel sorry for them as we know the feeling of constantly losing year on year.

That’s why Hardwick got ‘tired’ of coaching and left to not be smeared with these type of losses

It's tough and if it was us I would have been screaming and now I'd be broken. But you're right. 1 or 2 too many teams in Victoria for long term.

And bringing in a Tassie team kills their Tassie connection, and their sponsorship including the AFLW opportunity.

I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

North’s Survival hinged on James Brayshaw having a Grand Solution, where is it? Absolutely non existent,

now we have 3 sides (possibly 4), who all need top end talent. You can’t give assistance to 1 Club & not the others. 
we won’t have 19 Clubs for long, there will be a 20th, so the AFL has created a major problem, that I don’t think it saw coming 

I don’t know the answer, but North staying in Melbourne has really given them a headache

GWS and GCS make sense as money pits though. They serve a purpose to grow the game in regions where they need extra media exposure. Being a two team town creates a local rivalry which makes the competition feel legitimate too (ie not a Vic comp with a single local presence).

Pumping money into North doesn't serve that purpose at the moment, and North must realise it isnt a viable long term solution.

Banking on the AFL being too weak to make a real decision is a short term solution based on current management,they must know things could change in an instant.

Getting back to yesterday's results, I see that Carlton fans were visibly rocked by that close loss.

A moral win by Port as they don’t have Maynard.


Ugh the cheek. 
Welcome to our world, Vossy

While he can’t publicly bag the review system or the umpires, Voss is clearly spewing about the Owies (deemed touched) goal in the third quarter…

You didn’t have the benefit of seeing what happened, huh Vossy. Well, try having the benefit of seeing what happened and still getting stiffed. That’s so much worse. Everyone behind the goals at last year’s semi had the benefit of seeing what happened when Caleb Marchbank didn’t touch the ball. Hurts when the shoe’s on the other foot, doesn’t it?!

Been away all weekend so catching up on some Kayo Bites. 

What a win that was from Adelaide! Very very impressive and good on them for not giving up.

North should head to Canberra. Along with adjacent areas of Southern NSW (traditional Australian Rules Football territory) it has a population base possibly larger than Tasmania. Playing a few Northern Territory games could also be an idea.

GWS playing some matches in Canberra just dilutes the push into Western Sydney IMO.

He could need more roughage

Perhaps Metamucil?

As bad as Hawks & Tigers are, they have HUGE injury lists so there is no way to accurately assess them. 

And as bad as the Roos are, I'm not getting sucked in at all. They are doing exactly what Clarkson did at the Hawks in his first 2 years and with his track record the club will just wear all the carp. The current difficulty is, they don't have a Buddy Franklin and they need 2 large backmen. 

North should move to play at Geelong. With the population growth happening to the West of Melbourne, Geelong, and Surf Coast it makes a lot of sense, and also…

It would really annoy Geelong, and that’s always a good thing.

In that universe,  how funny would it be if the Govt mandated that they share Kardinia Park 50:50 with the Cats due to the significant taxpayer funds thst have gone into its development. 🤣

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    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.
