Petty is woefully out of form. Maybe just not a forward I guess. It happens.

You can't say that!!

EVERYONE has saying he was " the answer" after about 3 games last year.

Hilarious

Get a hearse for the Naarm Smith curse!

Bitter but optimistic

That's more like it !! We were a bit scrappy early but  a burst of class in the 3rd quarter did the business . After that, apart from a couple of disappointing junk time goals, we smashed them.

Poor last quarter.

The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

Sounds trivial?

It isn't and wont be come final time.

Lol we are at 28 points, Port at 32 - enjoy the win!

Positives. 4 points and Tomlinson

Negatives. Too conservative again and slow moving ball.

St Kilda were pathetic.

Pity we got smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp last week ain’t it

Might be the catharsis required to shake off the mid-season lethargy. Top four you need fight to stay up there.

Great to see a dominant 1st quarter. We've been too slow out of the traps recently.

Set shots better but still room to improve. we were 4-9 at one stage but thankfully found our shooting boots after that.

Good last quarter from Clarry. he hasn't been his normal beast mode self recently. hopefully that's the springboard to return to top form.

All in all a good days work at the G.

Go Dees

Enjoyed the awe in Dangerfield’s voice when talking about Gawn. Marshall is meant to be one of the elite rucks going around and Max treated him with disdain.

It shouldn’t get lost that we are watching an all time great every week.

This win gives me confidence we're still a contender. Liked having Salem back in his old role given he'd been pushed into the middle with an extra defender in the side. Defensive unit had the right balance, Tommo is a great Lever insurance but probably just that. Hunter had a strong return showing. Gawn is still scarily dominant even with an injury niggle. On the other hand, don't know how the Saints have managed to go downhill this much in such a short time.

Would love to have gotten a bit more out of Petty and McAdam, but ok to persist with this forward set up until Melksham comes into the fold. Langdon's got a bit of unutilised forward craft.

I agree, we can’t keep trying to find positives, give Jeffo a go or Tmac forward or Thommo forward, let’s face it 5 possessions a game would be a bonus

The fact that Port have won an extra game would have made that difficult Einstein.

For those laying into McAdam, it’s a bit rough. 2nd game. It’ll take time to find his feet and rhythm at this level, in a new team. I thought he got into some good spots. He’ll be fine. Got to give these guys some time! Even if it was smart strategy to drop guys after 2 rounds, we don’t have the depth for that!

Agree, containing Gawn is a whole team effort. Just on another level to his peers. Didn't think he'd be doing this 3 years after the flag

Nibbla 27 @ 74%, 12 contested and 2 goal assists, 11 centre bounce attendances, he’s above a role player now 👏🏻 

would’ve been nice to win by 50 instead of 38 but we’d put the cue in the rack and benched Max and a couple of others. Did what we needed to do and comfortably beat a weak opponent.

Am I convinced we’re back? No but it’s better than last week.

Gee the saints are SH eeee T.

Thats the softest AFL midfield I’ve seen since we got called Bruise Free in 2011.

Hard to take much out of that. If we were any good we would have been 8 goals up at half time.

Stafford needs to go at the end of the year. Can we get an actual modern day forward coach?

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
