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

They are going nuts. I mean they have a good forward line and a pretty handy midfield.

Next week they play port away.

    Small forwards. Jesse Motlop 3 goals. 9 tackles. Will White (a young SSP last minute addition ) 3 goals. 5 tackles. Both applied pressure and showed goal sense. When they were within forward 30, they went for goal. Their tackling pressure created goals.

    Papley. Cameron. Hill. Stengle. Keays. Curtis. Moore. Higgins. Rankine. Zurhaar. Watson. Rioli. Etc etc. Small forwards for many teams are aggressive keen goal kickers. Yes we have kozzzy but now seem to want to put him into the midfield to create energy and run … “rob Peter to pay Paul is the saying”!! Apart from Kozzzy, Chandler and Spargo are well below other small forwards in the league. Chandler has had one good game and has been average in others. Spargo offers 5 minutes with one or two cameo efforts but can’t jump, has no pace, no tackling and doesn’t score goals (must delist at year end).

    Aside from needing to find a key tall forward, the search for an energetic quick small forward should be on our recruiting menu.

    I don’t blame them - they’ve been showing signs of going to the next level for a while now without actually doing it and last night was a big opportunity to do so.

    It was certainly winnable (or should’ve been) based on some of their recent form.

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

    It's not hard to understand ...he plays for himself. Culture killer.

    The best clubs understand that a team is a mix of people and personalities as much as football or positional abilities.

    The pies are very strong and well run club and have a bold FD that act on what they are seeing.

    He's been OK at the Hawks in a team they were trying to inject personality into. Now they're getting serious he'll fall by the wayside.

    The entire pre game team for the Tigers game have laid into Balta for his violent assault and saying its wrong he is playing after 5 games out

    Whilst I don't disagree with this, where was the outrage when De Goey allegedly forcibly touched a female and beat the hell out of her friend who tried to stick up for her? He GOT ZERO WEEKS!

    Is it just coz it happened overseas and we have footage? He was sitting in a NT jail cell!

    And no-one has the balls to mention it on TV. Absolute disgrace the Pies and and the AFL

    I swear the umpires feel like they're dealing with children some games with the pushing, fighting & the dobbing.

    But the way lynch is going he's likely to do something stupid & get himself rubbed out which is fine

    It's a homage to their invisible fans

    Seriously though, who could predict red on red might not look great?

    Gee Tom lynch is giving it to the opposition tonight & I guess clubs have now worked out you can easily get into Mac Andrews head

    Is he not the highest paid player in the league or thereabouts? Very few defenders lose their head as much as him...if any

    Wait really? Mac Andrews is one of the highest paid defenders or players? Either is extremely surprising

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
