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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
