Don't want to see 15 or 23 in maggot garb Sat Night.

There's no game without umpires and they do good work in a very difficult and highly scrutinised job. It's poor to refer to them as "maggots".

    They do average work and are well paid.Football is bread and circuses.Nobody puts a gun at their head.They should be better than they are.They often create the wrong result.They deserve and require constant scrutiny.

    Is this our sixth night game out of eight this year?

    Is the ball more slippery at night?

    Daytime (standard) red Sherrins are stained.

    The yellow night ball is not.  It's painted as you can't stain leather yellow. The paint is then covered with some sort of protective coating, so it's inherently more slippery.

    Add some dew to that and you have a slippery little sucker on your hands.

    Grippo probably becomes even more important on nights like this.  Some players like using it and others maybe not so much.

    So constant scrutiny = "maggots". 

    Olympic long jump is coming up - you just qualified.

    Wasn't sure where to put this but another nice bit of content from the club.

     

    [censored] yeah!

    This is the kind of content I've been crying out for 👏

    Well done Claire Pettyfor.

    I think we are deluding ourselves if we think a forward line with Petty and Van Rooyen can get enough goals for us to win! Would have prefered BBB!

    • 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 The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
