I'm sick to death of our do-nothing forwards. Langdon had a free (mark?) on the 50 and NO-ONE made a lead calling for the ball . They just waited for the bomb (and our forwards never clunk marks). They HAVE to lead.

    One thing teams will do homework on with some of our CBD work is Gawn stepping over the line and left hand tapping to 3o’clock position with sweeper running onto ground ball, ok when it works but leaves us very vulnerable out the front

    Pretty off Lever. Doesn't do anything. 

    Chandler likewise, I've been a defender but has has a very hum ho pre season

    Just not sure what we are doing with our backline structure but Lever has to be played to his strengths or he’s just not good. He has to trust his skills to provide something in attack too. 

    Dirty day for anyone deep forward but 2 poor outings for Chin and he hasn’t looked fully fit. The dribbling kicks around the body that don’t get off the ground are very confusing.

    I’d like to see Chandler at half forward more and Sparrow deeper.

    And can we please never look to pass to Billings in fwd 50 

    Have never seen a worse kick for goal in my life - you can just chalk it up for a behind every time

    I think Lindsay has been better than Langford

    Could possibly be better in the first year, particularly in regards to where he may play

    Our set shot kicking has been putrid.

    Since 2022 I am afraid.

    A Lever decisive switch sets up a goal (even if it goes messy on the wing)

    Did we actually practice goal kicking in the offseason!!

    Looks like our forwards will struggle again this season but who would have picked that. Rinse and repeat.

    It’s not so much lack of goal sense as a psychological illness.

    Not going to win a lot of games like this.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
