Melbourne should approach this game with caution. Underestimating North Melbourne not a good idea. I'm predicting a close one, and although a Demons supporter for 57 years, it could actually go either way.

We played them pre-season pretty much at full strength.

We have seen most of what they have got. Shouldn't be too many surprises

    Beautiful night last night and the roof was closed. It was one big communal sauna. Had to go outside at the breaks coz it’s nice to be able to breathe unlabored. 🥵

    Anyhoo that was last night. Today is a new day but yeah, the roof will still be closed 😅

    We’ll be in aisle 1. Anyone with GA tickets please come and sit in aisles 2 & 3 so as to create a sea of red and blue. ❤️💙

    It may just mean degenerate gamblers thinking there is value where there probably isn’t.

    Chances are they're about to lose.

    You couldn't ask for a more beautiful autumnal day to watch your team play in a soulless domed facility.

    I’ve never liked the roof open there anyway, half the ground is in shade the other in the sun. Don’t know what’s it’s like these days with all sorts of buildings around the stadium now.

    I’m surprised anyone can actually find the gates.

    Woewodin as the direct replacement for Windsor won’t be the sub.

    Last night showed that continual applied pressure can put any team in a winning position. No Koz, McVee, Windsor removes a lot of our carry and polish but win the contests and take your chances and we should get it done. Last week's acceptable loss filled with great effort and intent against an early premiership fancy means nothing if we don't get the W today.

    I watch Norf pretty much every week with my mad Norf mate. Like us, they shot themselves in the foot last week and should have won. Their back line leaks under pressure and they have six players across the ground that are coach (their own) killers. Having said that - they have six blokes, that if let off the leash, will carve us up. We should win, but this is no walk in the (VFL) park.

    I hate not not having may down there.

    We need to stop the ball getting down to darling, LDU & Larky.

    Hopefully our forward line can score enough to win.

    Need van rooyen & fritta to actually step up & contribute today

    Let's hope fritch gets more than 2 possessions in the first half - probably his average first half contribution in the past 12 months

    We seem to have trouble with north. Even in 2021 it was a struggle for a while. I’m not convinced this will be our first win of the season

    Feel like we've taken them too lightly over the years. Surely we won't do the same thing today.

    My read on this game is that we will be too strong for North and play 4 solid quarters. I think our ability to shift up our game plan will frustrate them. They have moments when they look to be gaining moment but we will stifle them and then score when the momentum swings back. Dees by 42.

    • 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.

      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.
