Relocation of North Melbourne Game?
The WA Govt are not involved any more! Norh have received permission to fly home and have already arrived. The Vic Govt have asked them to isolate for 2 weeks but Players can train together at appointed times. The next decision is up to The Tasmanian Govt. and AFL negotiating an outcome. The advice from Dub Dee in this forum that the game may be moved is HIS opinion only based on no firm evidence from Authorities who are trying to ensure that the game go ahead at Blundstone on Sunday. Too much money hinges on this for the State and AFL has to come up with a safe Covid plan so that the fixture will proceed. Some awaiting for advice of a change in location are no more informed and the longer silence is continued is an indication that the arrangements will remain as per the fixture,

CHANGES: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne
The old adage of if it ain't broke don't fix it. So if Melkshsm is dropped and BBB or a Weid are Full forward that is fine. But don't switch Tmac Our forward structure is based around Tmac and he is delivering, as long with the others. When the whips are cracking BBB will be there and firing. Weid will also get a chance not certain about both on the same forward line though. Plenty of time for all to state their case. but NO TOMMY or TOMLINSON for the wing. Angus is doing just fine also.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond
At the end when Tigers fans left and we sang the Club song plus the presentation to Trac there was IMO 30,000 Demons fans minimum. The MCC members was 2/3 Demons and Really good no 's in The Southern Stand upper. All I can say is any one not gong now just can't expect to rock up and get Finals tickets Especially if we play Tigers again. Get your GF guarantee also if you are serious. Covid has placed some small hardship for fans but no more than going to coffee shops with the QRCode and it has been point by point provided by the Club on our website. Reserved seat holders and friends sitting together are being slightly disadvantaged but not prevented under the Priority 1,2 and 3 system of linking up. What some people don't think about is their own safety and others. Contact tracing is not just about you it is any one in the crowd. Simple but effective and safe.

Natural form and Injury Plus hopefully not suspension generally intervene so no use forcing an issue at present. Once you are also ensconced in say the top rungs you can look at health and niggles etc. Or a player say like Chandler who I believe is really close to best 23 emerge as up to AFL standard then it's The time to reward this achievement.

The answer is you DONT TRY TO FIT IN players unless there is a good reason !!

We don't need Tmac on the wing ! How many times have you suggested this mythical change in our structure? Isn't his form good enough ? Let the bloke do what he does best . The Mark McLure role in the forward line Marking kicking goals and making ways for and protecting our smalls. It's going well and honestly both Weid and BBB are not that same type of player to assist others. Just wanting to play certain players to fit them in is not team football. They must all gel and right now Melksham is probably the elephant in the room. Plus Angus is owning his wing with great support for the defenders and also a good feeder to the leads from Our forwards. We don't need to experiment and risk mucking up Tmac'a form and the Forward line and centre line synergy.

DD we are all liable to change our minds on this great game. Nearly every Melb player Is rewriting his CV this season. Thats why we are improving as a team and Club.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond
Absolute rubbish. Tommy isn't a winger he is a key position player ie FF or CHF. And a beast and a competitor in the same mould that Mark McLure was in those great Carlton sides in 1979, 81 and 82: Makes Kossie ANB and Charlie play taller. Move him at your peril !! That doesn't mean BBB or Weid aren't good enough.

Demons Defence Best Since 1965
And it's just the start of a defence type dynasty with a couple of others on the way when we get the odd injury or suspension!

Revised 2021 Fixture: Rd 09 & 10
They have to make available SOME Away members tickets And it's generally a stand alone time for say 2 hours to get. We should (The Club) have the info on their MFC website earl that week. Why would it be any different under a Covid plan?

He finished last season with about 4/5 games where he impacted the fortunes of our team towards a win. Watch the GWS win in Round 17 and its the same as 2021 all out commitment and running for the team. Congratulations Christian.

Definitely nearer to Lovett than Whelan which prob makes Christian an A-to A+. As Brett was an A+ no doubt. At seasons end I believe he will be without doubt an A+ and may even have a medallion around his neck!

You said you don't trust him yet In 1:1's. Don't back pedal because you obviously don't either watch properly or don't like Christian. Seriously he has gone from a B grader half way through last year having a small impact on our game plan to an A grader now who has added intercept marking longer kicking and more metres gained to his game. As for his 1 on 1's he is elite and no one player wins every one. Tomlinson has apparently lost only 1 individual battle since being placed in defence halfway through last season. Christian has also been elite this year look at the Coaches votes and other player awards for his votes etc from a graveyard ie Half back flank. Its like the improvement in Kossie recognise it and give credit where it's due AF.

List needs
Your opinion DrD not mine. Locky Could fiill the bill and Deakyn Smith is promising and are our best options and this week we may have needed one or both. I have to say it's hard to criticise our defence at all as even Nev was unlucky to be dropped but full of praise for Hibbo. Huge praise for Jake Tommo Riv Salo and Petty was good in 2nd half. If we can keep them to say 22/23 shots we are right in this contest.

CASEY: Rd 02 vs Richmond
No way would 5000 be able to attend this venue. The AFLW was allowed 1,200 approx and I would say 2,000 would be maximum. A one off Game and lucky if you get in I would say.
