Melbourne and North flew up on the morning of the game together on a chartered flight.

Any footage? I missed it during the game

I just want to see our defensive structures stay sound. Our execution will be off in some games, it's impossible to blitz an entire season, but there is no excuse for lack of concentration in applying our defensive structures.

In the oven today, it's melting off the bone

North beat us by over 20 goals around the same time. Time for some payback.

Only 24k for the Pies yesterday, I'd say they've headed to the slopes but we all know they were crammed into the Epping TAB watching race 5 at Randwick

No doubt the AFL will be using it as leverage for an increase in revenue. They've got flexible fixruring, Thursday night footy, more games (expansion teams), more finals (wildcard round), night GF to try and wring more cash out of 7/fox and flexible fixruring seems a no brainer now that we've seen it work. Perhaps give a little more notice (say 6 weeks instead of 4).

Live a little, dieter

It's pretty funny when the worst they can come up with is effectively saying "you have large amounts of disposable income"

Well done Jesse, hope he can get his career (and life) back on track. Wil always have a soft spot for the big fella.

Hopefully our club isn't so starved of success they feel the need to release one of these

Yep my kids are hoping like hell we get up tomorrow so they can go to school on Monday and proudly let everyone know the Demons are top of the ladder

We got Farmer in the first place from Freo for Phil Gilbert. Pick 1 (Hodge) for McPharlin & Croad then Croad went back to Hawks Traded in Tarrant who went back to Pies Check out the trades that happened when they were first admitted, Essendon did well out of it scoring Lloyd and Lucas for a packet of chips

Plus with the amount of players North have out nevermind how bad they are anyway - I mean I've seen stranger things happen but if we drop this I'd be stunned.

@binman is still just a weekly regular caller isn't he?

Back to back? I want the 4peat Collingwood robbed us of in the 50s!

I doubt it would matter to a player like Trac. He's in it for the success as much or even moreso than the money. He wants to be a Hall of Famer, thats what drives him.

It's just unfortunate that he had the preseason injury or he'd be firmly in our best 22. He just has to keep performing in the VFL and his time will come and when it does I'm confident he'll grab the opportunity. Still early days, a long season ahead of us.

Exactly but then that "big team contender" would actually need to have the salary cap space.

Agreed although he has to weigh up what he wants out of footy - stick with this group who has real belief and are all signing on to achieve something? Or take the cash and get $1.5m a year to play at North?

Watch the replay

Exactly there's a reason we got rid of him. I still remember Roos having a crack at both Howe and Watts during the break of a night game vs Sydney. You could tell he was exasperated trying to get these guys to adhere to the structure and team rules.

Or alternatively, give us the option to select different audio feeds so we can listen to one of the radio station commentaries while watching. They don't dull the crowd mics either so you can actually hear the roars of the crowd like you do when you're at the game. Channel 7 dulls the crowd mics so we don't miss any of BT's zingers or Hamish McLachlans quips.

That's exactly what I thought as well?
