Now watching the storm about to kick off. A coach that knows how to coach & a team that knows how to play & win.

But will be keeping an eye on the west coast game

    The reason North looked amazing against us is that we apply absolutely zero pressure. No physicality, no desire from us since round 1.

    All Carlton had to do today was be a little harder...put a few goals on north and their very attacking mids drop their heads. They don't work two ways.

    We didn't even try to test them - we are so so so slow, lethargic, one dimensional and gassed that it genuinely provides energy to the other team

    Yep. We were either as fumbly or worse than they were, looked slower and our pressure just looked horrible. They weren’t good, we were REALLY awful

    A shame West coast couldn't go on with it. Yes I know that would mean us being on the bottom.

    But what happened to draper?

    Essendon already lost 1 ruckman last week

    Bombers paid a mark for what we weren't last week, then also a fiddy. Of course.

    Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

    I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

    Not really sure why there is buzz around LDU from North, maybe had a bad game but I only watched a little and the 4 or 5 instances where he was involved he made a meal of each one. Just looked selfish, but maybe that’s as a result of the losses stacking up and forcing you to think you have to do it yourself.

    Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

    This is a big part of it.

    Goodwin called it out this week.

    It's almost my sole focus tomorrow. If we're not "on", and early, that will say a lot IMO.

    Loved Hunt’s pressure in the last couple of minutes.

    Miss that headband. Had to confirm it was him

    Expecting more from H Reid. Looked like he wasn't in the centre for that final bounce.

    Entertaining game between two cellar dwellers

    Well I guess we can cross West Coast over there in round 8 off the winnable list based on tonight.

    So now it’s down to Richmond, North and West Coast at Marvel.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
