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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
