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

 

Looks like a good day weather wise.

No doubt the roof will be closed!

Where were you when Jeffo kicked 5 on 23.3.25

I was entertaining clients in a corporate box in Perth watching Freo play Sydney. Free alcohol will help

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. ❤️💙

The mighty Dees by Ricky Mentha III (39)!

 


Well I'm going along, I just hope it's not not like last time where we let them come back.

Of course they'll be pumped up for darlings 300th🙄

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

Chances are they're about to lose.

It's a magical leopleurodon, Charlie!

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

North shortening a fair bit in the betting….hope that doesn’t mean more late outs for us?

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

Bill Laurie has been pulled out of the Casey match and is heading to Marvel as an emergency

I'm guessing it's Harry Sharp as sub.

Simply a must win game if we are to be considered challengers this season.

north won't be a push over but i reckon Dees by 25 points

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. 

St kilda last night

West Coast currently 

Getting a sinking feeling about north now

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
