I like it. It gives the home team the opportunity to create a genuine home ground atmosphere like the old days for the Melbourne clubs even though the arenas are effectively neutral now. It would develop into something unique for each club. The away team supporters would no doubt sing their...

That's typically weak from Crowley. Seeing as he plays outside the rules on an almost weekly basis as his only means of being effective, I don't think any chatter or any unsportsmanlike actions from Crowley, either in the lead up or during the game would come as a surprise to Boomer or North...

If we can't pick up Dal Santo as a free agent we should walk away from the deal. He is a good player but we don't need to trade for him. Offering Luke Delaney, an 9-10 year key defender that we didn't want to lose for an outside midfielder with probably two years of top class football that St...

Except that nobody is trying to say that. You can't spin it around because if we traded Goldstein our rucks would be no better than Geelongs and we too would be demolished in the ruck like Geelong.

This is spot on. Obviously six months out of the game isn't ideal for any player, but the medical team have successfully managed to get Majak the maximum amount of game time in 2013 and 2014. Those posters criticising the medics for not putting him in for surgery earlier don't seem to be...

So many reasons to boycott that *club

Probably the best 18 possession game I've ever seen. Showed leadership to go with absolute class. A privilege to watch and I can't wait to see what he will do in September in the next few years.

He showed real improvement. Hopefully that game does plenty for his confidence. Looks like he's learnt to use his body more, some good shepherds, blocks and tackles that weren't part of his game at the beginning of the season.

Don't normally bite, but is your real name McBurney? Because that's the sort of judgement I saw from him tonight. Thomas played is role extremely well in the forward line and pushed hard up the ground often getting some very important possessions. Defensive pressure was good too in the last...

Absolutely disgraceful effort. Feels like we won a rigged game against all the odds. The umpires will probably be disciplined during the week for that performance. Not for the disgusting decisions, but because we won anyway.

Herald Sun football journalists aren't noted for their sense of humour.

Win this and it will be one of this teams best. Twos injured on the ground and two injured off the ground.

It would be good if North supporters inundated the club with letters and emails this week to Thomas congratulating him on his season to date and his excellent work with the community as a leader and inspiration to young people. For all our queries on the team's mental toughness this season, LT...

Good to see Greenwood hold his place. He needs to play another big game with Cunnington to come back in and with Jacobs and Gysberts likely to get a run at some point.

And now we can add acting and diving to his short list of qualities. Useless.

Spot on. He's a joke of a footballer and wouldn't get a game in most teams. Basically only a team that plays a junk brand of unwatchable football would use a player of his type. Good players beat their opponents with skill and ability, duds resort to being a thug. Hopefully, Ross Lyon...

McKenna should pay more attention if he's going to attempt mind games. Last week Scott questioned the players mental strength to provoke a reaction and the players were clearly angry. The result was one of the best first quarters in the club's history and full control for four quarters even...

I'm not convinced that swinging the axe is great for the team's development after the result last week. Particularly when the current available reserves haven't knocked down the door. A tough week on the track and some lessons learned seems the right approach to me on this occasion. I...

And it will be easier this time knowing a *team currently in the eight will soon be dropping out.

I didn't have a problem with any of the stuff that Thompson or Hall did on the ground that day. The problems started when Hall and Eade sooked hysterically after the game over what was a relatively very small bit of niggling from Thompson. The reaction from Hall was way over the top, but they...

Caro, please, this is probably a more interesting link for Essendon supporters to read tonight: http://playtrue.wada-ama.org/news/wada-statement-on-substance-aod-9604/#no2doping%23wada

His willingness to apply a legal front on shepherd to a much bigger player on the weekend, as he often does, demonstrates his courage. Really admire the way he's beaten his mental challenges too. He's tough as nails and a brilliant example for the younger players.

I just watched this preview of the new Grand Final documentary series featuring North's first premiership in 1975. The preview is absolutely brilliant! Barassi's words on pressure would be perfect to play to the players before their first final this year. Can't wait for the full video...

Confidence can make or break a key forward. Any idiot that abuses a young bloke who has developed brilliantly and been one of the catalysts of the teams revival this season despite having less than 20 senior games experience doesn't deserve to be part of this club. Doesn't matter how much money...

All the evidence showed Ziebell going for the ball. All the witnesses agreed Ziebell was going for the ball. The MRP and Tribunal agree Ziebell was going for the ball. Yet he is suspended and given a penalty greater than Judd and Wellingham who both admitted they were not going for the ball...

Whether you like it or not, your captains actions do reflect on the club. And as you brought it up, any semi recent premierships of yours don't have any aura about them, they have the stink of a club lacking in character about them due to your salary cap breaches. I was referring to your clubs...

The very fact he feels the need to apologise to Adams, inform us all he's shattered, remind us of his injury history, leak his emotional state to the media (there was numerous leaks from 'sources close to Judd' to journalists yesterday) is the most blatant admission of guilt you will see from a...

He's looking really dangerous and determined. It's only going to take one game where he gets hold of an opponent and kicks a bag, his confidence will lift and we are going to have opposition coaches struggling to decide whether to send their best defender to Lachie or Drew. We should also...

So he's also a supporter designed for a club with not many premierships. St.Kilda have been using a game plan designed for a club that doesn't want any supporters for the best part of the last decade so it's understandable envy has the better of him.

Great job on Goddard today. Good to see him get in Goddard's face after copping the cheap off the ball hit from the sniper earlier in the quarter, a weak effort from a mentally weak footballer. Hope he enjoys his weeks off thinking about these tough comments...
