With all the speculation around a football review at the club, haven't really heard her name mentioned much. Thoughts on her appointment/performance?

What a bizarre rucking duel that was. One bloke absolutely dominant in terms of hitouts and giving his midfield first use, so the other decides to push forward and kicks five to go with his 20 touches. Both scored 172 SC and you could make an argument for either to be BOG.

North Melbourne vice-captain Jack Ziebell says it is "now or never" for North Melbourne. With their top-four credentials torn to shreds by Saturday's loss to Gold Coast, Ziebell admits "something has got to give" to save their season from disaster. Just making the finals is now the goal, and...

Thought all had their colours lowered in the first half, but all really stood up in the last quarter. This is the intensity we need to bring from the opening bounce.

All season these have been horrible at both ends. Defensively, we always give up the first two kicks (often down the centre) and often a team has it to the middle of the ground before we're even near it. Offensively, we struggle to clear our defensive 50, and often end up with about five or...

What has happened to it? Twice tonight the player sliding into the legs got the free kick for high contact (Greenwood even reported ffs), and it's a rule that seems to be enforced less and less.

Not telling you pricks anything.

Excellent. Hit a guy late, high and with the elbow raised, and only get a week because there was no lasting damage. He would have gotten a reprimand too if he didn't have priors. What a sterling system it is.

Probably the biggest papering over cracks I've ever seen. Gives us this false premise that we're actually making progress, when really we're not. We are so far off being a top four side (and thus a potential finals threat) it's unreal. As soon as a bit of heat goes on or a few things go against...

Just cleaned the kitchen after making pizza. Looks good. Used spray and wipe and a paper towel on the benches and unloaded the dishwasher. Might hit the sack now. Thanks for reading.

The two best set shots in the league right now are probably Gunston and Breust, and it occurred to me last night that both hold the ball vertically when lining up for goal. Fev was another one who employed this style, and he was a beautiful set shot. So why don't more players do it on set...

How many do we have? I would say maybe Cunnington at a stretch. Not sure there are any others. Maybe Swallow pre-injury. Why does player development seem to stall so much?

Could be the best I've seen from any side in years. We have not missed one, we've pinned the arms and we've rolled the man every single time. We've hunted in numbers and they are fumbling in space because they are scared of the hit. Which begs the question - where was it last week?

Just shocking. Until we got a run on in the last, we never even looked capable of getting close. Players walking around, heads down, just generally looking beaten all night. Very evident at the ground and very disappointing, especially in a game that while we were never in, were never really...

If this is what it gets us I'd rather go back to the days when we had no money but plenty of heart. A disgrace to the jumper and everyone who bought a membership should get a partial discount.

When is the last time we had this?

At 0:50. Some players would struggle to pull that off at training, let alone in their own back pocket.

The only difference in this one. Which is why we're 10th and they're 1st. If we're not pushing for top four in 2014 however I'll be very surprised.

I don't think one went straight up today, and countless went outside an area where both ruckmen could properly compete, yet it took until the last quarter for one to be recalled? Was most costly just after we hit the front in the third, and the centre bounce went a good 6-7 metres towards...

Am surprised there isn't a thread on this, given the frenzy around the bump at the moment, and the player involved. In his favour: It's just about in the contest, as he goes in to smother and seems to opt to bump instead at the last second There doesn't appear to be any high contact Lyons...

For using threatening and insulting language towards Clattenburg in the referee's room after the match against United. My question is, if he is found guilty of using threatening language towards an official, how does he escape with only three games?

Former West Ham youth, Stevenage and Oxford footballer passed away last night, aged 27. Leaves a fiance two kids. Unfortunately another victim of a heart condition.

Second time he's done that. The first time was an almost identical incident, where he led with his knees and was late to a contest on Jesse Smith. It's a dog act.

Has never been more appropriate.

Thought he did a reasonable 'decoy' job at the ground today but didn't realise how good until I got home to watch the replay. Thing about Fletcher is he is too smart to get dragged away on dead leads. Drew had to lead him away from the footy, but in a way that meant he was still a viable...

They are as bad as Melbourne at the moment.

Even if we somehow still win this, we're showing exactly how far we have to go, because we can't cope with this.

Would have been one of the great calls ever, except he called him Rob by mistake!

Sterling work, boys.

Equals scoring shot.
