GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs North Melbourne

Half time notes

The pros

  • Ball movement looks quick and slick. We look fun to watch.

  • Kozzy looks as though he's about to cause chaos this season. Big year incoming. Latrelle 'Cuzzy' Pickett has had some neat little involvements

  • Steele looks like he has a point to prove this season. Good old fashioned footballer.

  • Howes looks a winner on the wing. Watch this space...

  • Liking CJ at half back. Quick off the mark and not too bad in 1-on1 situations.

  • Kentfield and Heath impressing with their physicality against an elite ruckman in Xerri

Cons

  • North have exposed us a bit on the turnover. The consequences of trying to play quick

  • Kolt at half back looks a bit iffy. Disposal and decision making a concern

  • After a fair bit of hype, Windsor has been quiet. Likewise Jeffo aside from a really good forward tackle early.

  • Is Mihocek injured? Looked really good early but haven't seen much of him since.

    Not feeling warm and fuzzy about Kolt bringjng it out of the backline 🥴

    I'll support and hope for the best as long as he's a demon but I'm yet to see anything that suggests he'll make it. What are his weapon/s supposed to be?

    Shortened quarter (2 min). Heat?

    Haven’t seen checkers for a while? Don’t know if it’s because quality isn’t 100% just haven’t noticed him this quarter.

    Someone said Mihocek was slung, and hit "noggin". Perhaps they are being cautious, or it's concussion protocol for him.

    scenario training is interesting; fritsch to half back as the 'spare' defender as we try and defend a 2 point lead

    Thanks for that, I must’ve missed this. Hope his ok would rather him miss the rest of the game to make sure is 100%

    Roo hasn't bulked up 😡.

    Mihocek will be doing a lot of the heavy work in the forward line this year

    Looks like he has some agility back again, last year he was way to slow

    Heath, Kentfield look like AFL players

    Need to see more from JVR, Jeffo

    Where's Miohcek?

    Just watched the highlight of the two Pickett goals. Must say, he is looking lean and powerful.

    I'm finally getting a bit of the classic pre-season irrational optimism hit.

    Kentfield is a big boy!

    Must keep mask all year.

    In fact let’s mask up all the boys.

    CJ out on the ground, doing run-throughs, under staffer instruction.

    Testing?

    Very hard on him. Great mark in Q2

    Windsor has been quiet, but he had a good centre clearance in the 2nd

    Gathered the ball and handballed over his head to Kozzie in space, should have been a goal assist, but Koz missed

    So it seems that Jack Steele and Max Heath are doing well considering we got them in exchange for an expired six-pack of yoghurt and an unreliable TV remote.

    My deepest sympathies to St Kilda fans, but at this stage I don't think even Mr Miyagi in a three movie arc could teach Ross Lyon humility.

    'An expired six pack of yoghurt and an unreliable tv remote" that most be the comment of 2026 so far. Love your work little goffy.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
