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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
