I’d have to agree with Salem’s slippage in the rankings from 2019 as shown above. Too many 10m chipped kicks these days for my liking.

He was brilliant last night.  Thats what hes capable of and needs to do it more.

Now back to the stats

Clayton Oliver 72 disposals in the first two rounds of the season must be a Melbourne record

We are now 8-3 at the Docklands under Goodwin

I saw Spargo was copping it in the gameday thread in the 1st half,  but the little meastro turned it around to again make some important plays with his unusually large footy brain.

Never write off the little meastro.

The coaches running Jordon and Kozzie in the midfield has changed around our fortunes.

Cant see Harmes getting back into our team unless we are hit by injury to our mids.

Been a while since Ive said this and been very confident in saying it

NO CHANGE

2-0 with Weid, b Brown, Hibberd and Melk waiting in the wings.

Bedford and Petty have impressed in every practice match.  Even big Majak Daw is kicking goals.

Bowey, Rosman and Laurie all very promising.

This is the best position we have been in for a while.

Check out the praise Kozzie is getting.    Kane says hes the closest we have seen to Cyril Rioli.. I believe Jordan lewis said the exact same thing.

If any team loses to North Melbourne this year their coach should be sacked.

They are as far off it as any team I can remember.  Maybe since us in 2012-2013.

AFL will throw compo picks at them though.

All of our kids looked awesome.. is Chocco Williams some king of wizard?

James Jordon 20 possessions and 9 tackles

Breath of fresh air in the midfield

6 Oliver

5 Tracca

4  KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT

3 Salem

2 Tomlinson

1 ANB

Apologies to about 8 other players

Stroke of genius moving this bloke to the backline.  His contract now looks like a bargain lol

He smashed them tonight and was great last week too.

Yeah this kid is special.   Thanks North for trading that pick to us!

Kozzie is brilliant, well done to Trac on his first career 30 disposal game and great to see Salem get 30 touches

Great to be 2-0

31 scoring shots to 18 and to win by just 18 points....   thats really bad

We have a half here to win the game, go to 2-0 and set up our season.  This is it.  The time is now. 

There are no more excuses for Goodwin or anybody else and there are certainly no honorable losses.

Coach killer.  Disgraceful kick and no intensity.

So much possession for such little reward

Good fight back though

Bayley Fritsch is a coach killer ... really needs to get serious about the game

Now just [censored] win it

How can you dominate possession like that and only kick 3 goals and be up by only 2 points?  This [censored] team....

From facebook (his name is Trevor): 

After getting out ti about a 28 point lead, NM came back and Casey in front by 11 at 3/4 time. 9.8.62 to 8.3.51. No Petty after half time. Melks, Daw and Rosman amongst the goal kickers that qtr. Hibbert solid in defence. Melksham continued to get plenty if the ball as well as Vanders. Pretty slippery so lots of skill errors. 

Final score 12.9.81 to 11.7.73. Goals to Rosman , Daw and Bedford that qtr. I think Risman kicked 3 fir the game and impressed

Rosman 3 goals in an impressive display?  Delightful

Essendon might get 186'ed here  ?

How did PA get Aliir, geee wiz they’ll be hard to stop. 
 

God I hope they [censored] ESS!

One thing Port does that we all wish the Dees would do is that they smash teams when they smell blood.

I've got a personal training session from 5:30 so will have to listen later. I have a feeling though that the Saints will come out firing for Spud's game. In a professional sport, there probably shouldn't be a need to find extra motivation, but I have a spooky feeling that this will be the case. Just call it intuition.

Maybe we will come out firing like we did for Tom Hafeys tribute game.

We can pay respects to Spud too....  Angus is even dating his daughter I believe.

Spud was a great guy.

The nerves have arrived.  A chance to be 2-0 with a couple of declining teams as our next 2 opponents and then a pretty nice draw after that (excluding the tough Richmond game).

We better not stuff this up.

Would love us to get these guys tonight, and I think we can. Our mids are hopefully going to be a bit sharper than last week as there were some cobwebs but we also need to run both ways. If we do turn it over I really worry that Viney, Oliver, Trac, Gus will be able to slow those speedy saints players down. 

Would really like to see Rivers on a wing, Jacko kick 2+ and Max to impose himself on Paul Hunter who has played 1 game

Dees by 14 

I want to see Gus dominate on the wing.  If he can shore up that other wing spot for us we are on our way.
