It has been about 15 years since a club accumulated so much early-draft midfield talent and got such little result for it.

Currently Clarkson hasn't got close to Bailey and is barely ahead of Neeld. (expansion team caveat noted)

The fact they've popped up for the occasional win when they seem to feel like it must make it all the more frustrating for North's remaining supporters and, dare I say it, any young players with serious ambitions.

    Sideways at times. Earlier Dwayne said “Port are kicking with the rain this quarter” instead of “… with the wind…” 😂

    I take no joy in poor North getting smashed.

    We've been there and it's not pretty.

    Interesting how the AFL just let players like Bailey catches a cold easily just waltzes in to teh cats and they are after more stars.

    That’s even worse than we used to be

    They were. But these young fans weren’t part of that.

    Real stench from North tonight. Could be a coach killer. I know there's no Xerri or Larkey but geezus.

    Gee it feels a long time ago nth had that huge win against us earlier in the season.

    You'd be relieved if you were the nth player subbed off.

    They haven't advanced up the ladder under him at nth.

    It's not like they have dud players like we did in the dark days.

    So far this round Hawthorn’s 24pt win over Carlton is the closest result, the rest of the games being hugely one-sided affairs. I daresay Collingwood will keep the pattern going tomorrow. Terrible viewing for neutrals.

    Yes, I fear it’ll be the same for our game

    They have a much better list than we did back then. AA ruckman, a few good forwards, and some genuine close-to-A-grader midfielders. The problem is there is a huge gap after that filled with average VFL players.

    I think Clarkson might be done though. This has real "Pagan at Carlton" stench about it.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
