Last night I commented on how the carlton forwards especially the smaller ones put a lot of tackling pressure on and chase.  I saw fritta and kozzie walking. 

Oliver needs to focus on the ball. At one point phillips was into him off the ball & koltyn ran in to help out.

    We're 15 points up.  North have kicked three goals in half a game.

    Chins up, Demonlanders.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role. 

    Petty has been lively. Really unlucky not to have another shot on goal early in the qtr as he was taken high. Fritsch is our real problem. He needs to engage Archer.

    Do we have a forward capable of leading. Think it was Langford with a minute or two to go.. he's clear on the wing with clear space in front and we kick to a pack 20 metres out

    You do understand we are talking about North Melbourne? The worst team in the last 3 seasons? 

    After what we dished up against West Coast? The second worst team in that same period.

    It's not working though. Our season is on the line.

    same old bomb it into the forward line, what is there problem with players leading, if one of our forwards has two players on him where is our spare player.

    Good to see Kolt giving more than he was getting in that half-time melee. 🤣

    Not sure why Oliver is getting game time, sure he’s getting tagged but any other would have been dropped, perhaps that’s the issue, did he earn his spot after a poor preseason?

    Any danger of Ollie impacting ?? 

    Kudos... Petty having a crack.

    Thanks Tmac

    A lot need to lift ...

    Clarry's copping a heavy tag but just doesn't appear to have the leg power and speed to push through the contest and hit the ball at speed.

    Will need a huge pre-season to fix that and get back to his best.

    Playing him deep forward is probably about the only option from here to try n shake the tag and maybe hit the scoreboard or get involved in some score assists plus pressure i50.

    So we can't criticise their poor performance?

    We all support the team, but we are tired and frustrated of the downhill in which we are at the moment.

    why would north tag Clarry?

    he’s had zero impact this year

    Review complete. The umpire was on the goal line and should get an eye test.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
