Hore will want to bounce back this week after being tagged out of the game last week. Mackin has been in sensational form.

 

Best team

B: Heath, Colvin

HB: Paxman, Gillard, Chaplin

C; McNamara, Purcell, Mackin

HF: Mithen, Harris, Bannan

F: Pisano, Zanker

FOLL: Pearce, Hanks, Hore

IC: Lampard, Beasley, Fitzsimon, Goldrick, Campbell

 

With Purcell, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to beat North.

  • Grapeviney changed the title to Pre-game v North
  • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 03 vs North Melbourne
 

Lost Birch, Gay, West, Sherriff in trades out.
Went young in the draft.  
With
 Purcell, Aimee Mackin, Harris and Pearce out it's going to be a tough ask to “compete this year”.  That’s 9 out of the best 21 team from 2023.  

 

that was terrible from alyssa bannan. just soccered the ball rather than pick it up. 


our decision making is so poor. filed kicking mistakes and zanker there. just sheapprd the goal through

thats a great kick fitzsimon. excellent set shot finish

 

Gall deserves a spray from the coach at quarter time for that selfishness

Composure, non-existent. Just calm down a little 


we've fought well after a poor start. nothing wrong with our heart and endeavour. just need to take a breath and make better decisions

Umps have backed Norf

we'll take that 50 though


Shades of last week so far: opposition's link, run and carry, and being beaten in the air, particularly across half forward. Endeavour up again, too, though.

rubbish free kick. i assume a dangerous tackle but it was nothing of the sort.

What’s the score please

Not good. 37-13 North’s way


lauren pearce is a big loss. King is monstering Campbell

I have no doubt that in most games the bounce of the ball will favour one team, but today we've been killed.

shelley heath cracking in as usual, paxy seeing a fair bit of it. the team have tried

but North are a cut above. its an uphill struggle from here. 

 

Looked a fair way off them that quarter. Ball movement too stagnant (mostly due to skill), and not strong enough in the contest.

North look good.

This, unfortunately.

Also, not realising the lesson Mick said was learnt from last week - too many drawn into the contest leaving nothing outside, in contrast to North.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
