Not to mention that no team with Marvel as a home ground has finished top 4 at the end of a home and away season since 2010. But the surface is fine, I’m sure.

Its a curse that joint.

They are desperate at the moment. To sell home games like that shows they are in a dire financial position. Ralph's article clearly shows the impacts and challenges with this decision to grab money.

And the best part. Even if you are win enough games to earn a home final, it's at a joint you barely have played at.

But, jeeze it'd be great to see the Cats get more games at the MCG..........and the Blues.

North has Darcy MacPherson training with them.

Delisted Gold Coast utility Darcy Macpherson hopes he can convince North Melbourne to throw him an AFL lifeline after beginning pre-season training with the Kangaroos this week.

Macpherson, 27, was delisted by the Suns in September after 97 games in nine seasons but believes he still has plenty of quality football left in him despite seeing limited opportunities under Damien Hardwick this year.

He finished third in the Suns’ best and fairest in 2019 and seventh in 2023, but featured only two times this year – both as a sub.

Collingwood and Carlton were among the VFL programs who came knocking for his services before he ultimately settled on signing with North Melbourne.

“(North) lets VFL players train a couple of times a week with the main group and I just thought, given the way I train and how I go about my business, it gives me the best chance to get back on a list,” Macpherson told this masthead.

“Melbourne is obviously my hometown and there’s a lot more eyes on me down here … and I just thought North, with where the list is at, I could definitely add something.

I think his reasoning is pretty spot on. Norf need professional older heads, almost regardless of how they perform on field. Good luck to him.

It seems like a good fit for both player and club. MacPherson still has a bit to offer.

I don’t know how they’ve done it given there’s like 5 of them total in the AFL but North are going to be absolutely stacked for tiny half back flanks who kick it sideways 85% of the time.
