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.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
