That game showed me where we are at more than any other game this year, including last week. The best teams still find a way, even when they are playing as badly as possible. We saw that today. Even when we were terrible for so long, we still managed to beat good teams sometimes. There's something to be said for the freedom of having zero expectations on you. North played as good as I've seen them in ages. We bank the 4 points and move right along. We can't play our best every week, I'm just thankful that we're good enough to still win when we don't. We would have dropped that game 100% of the time any other year, including 2018.

AFL media doing their absolute best to shame Kozzie over practically nothing right now. I'm not even mad though, just basking in the glory of a relevant Melbourne Football Club.

Too many highlights after the first 15 minutes to mention. I'll try tho: 1. Nibblers goal 2. Spargos tackle 3. Rivers diving spoil

That goal from the boundary was absolutely magnificent

Danger game? lol Dee's by 100

I almost cried tonight WE HAVE ARRIVED

Actually the coach said it specifically in the post match presser last week, so its straight from the horses mouth, champ

You're not wrong in that we are spoilt for choice in the tall forward department. I'd certainly be thinking about trading one of them at seasons end if we could fill another gap, such as another starting winger or small pressure forward for depth. Lets see what it all looks like after September

fair enough, i didnt actually look at any match reports and went off a comment i heard somewhere about them both going well at casey. just petty for may then, leave the rest. unnecessary changes to a winning formula is asking for trouble, especially coming into a game with a lesser hawks off the back of beating geelong.

Ah right, so we have equality across the board now do we? Job done, case closed yeah? A worthy female succeeding in a traditionally male-dominated world often brings out the worst in fragile males who refuse to acknowledge that there's still quite a ways to go with gender equality in this country. I guess you haven't been watching the news lately hey? Look at our parliament ffs. You are making yourself a fantastic example of that fragile ego in this thread.

Sometimes I think you have some sort of grasp on the game, but then you say things like Spargo should be dropped. Spargo is having a fantastic season so far and is playing his role as well as anyone else. And to suggest that this many players could be dropped "easily" in a 4-0 team is just ludicrous. Out: May, Melksham In: Petty, BB or Weed

Rubbish idea that will reward poor list management in the end.

I seem to have missed your previous ones. I'll be looking out for them now

excellent username haha

You write very well @CHF, I'd love to hear your thoughts pre-game weekly!

Many on here will say we're getting ahead of ourselves. It's not like Max is on the moon or anything yet. Goody under real pressure

perfect summary. i'm backing us in Carn dees get it done

People need to stop getting sucked in by lazy journalism. I've said it a million times and i'll say it again - outlets report provocative crap like this for clicks. clicks = dollars.

So a media personality makes an unsolicited comment, and that means the team and/or Demonland members are now "getting ahead of ourselves" You are insufferable, honestly.

Agreed, I just thought he looked better at the very least

Kozzy is unbelievable. I pity those still aren’t satisfied with a 3-0 start genuinely. Must suck to not be able to enjoy footy even when things are going our way!!

Thought he looked much better up forward last night. Can easily see him playing up forward effectively, can you yet?

Not sure what the point of saying this is. Sounds like another "drinking bathwater" type comment which sounds somewhat insightful but is impossible to substantiate.

Wow I definitely missed this memo. Care to elaborate?

Possible, or maybe our midfield are constantly not getting to the correct spot and Gawn is executing set plays perfectly? It's hard to say with any authority as outsiders looking in.
