Game Day NAB Challenge Week 1, St Kilda v North Melbourne 2.05pm (EDT), Saturday 20 February, Wangaratta

[Joffaboy]

Years away guys. Years.
We have 0 ruckman worthy of a flag.
We need outside run.

Maybe trade acres for lachie weller in a couple of years.
Acres hasnt got it. No vision. Shame.

Good news Gresham and Sinclair HAVE it.

It is. A practice game FFS, carrying on about years away jesus

Really young list. No structure up forward after Paddy went down

Jack Steven and Billing rested.

And talking about no rucks. Billy isn't even playing.

Some people need to take a breath and realise it is a practice match.

 

[DarkSaint]

Third quarter wrap:
Sinclair has it in spades
Pressure dropped off
Need to learn to stop the onslaught
Coast to coast goals killing us
Hickey isn't a forward
Need to structure up better from stoppages
North looked like they were running on top of the ground while we plodded.

Jesus some of the posters on this forum. Pump the breaks would you? Every single year- Win in the nab cup? Don't get too excited its just the nab cup. Lose in the nab cup? Sack the board, the coach, burn down Linen House and trade all the kids.

 

[plugger66]

The first half was excellent considering the side we had in. Was just about certain that North would eventually get on top. No need to panic or worry at all. The only people who should be worried are those who thought we could finish top 6. People say we have good depth but that's a myth. We are a 6 to 8 win side. Seen nothing to suggest worse or better

No way is Goddard ready to play as a key defender. I know its early but where is the improvement? Opposition still splitting us with rebound thru the middle. Struggle to find one change or positive in our ball movement ...

Am I doing it right????

 

[Superduperouzel]

This coverage is trash. I've had to rely on Alan Richardson to tell me McCartin took his boots off, and twitter to tell me Billings and Steven are being rested for the second half.

But you get instead tales of the good ol days from Derm the germ and the smile.

Longer not playing. Holmes clearly not best 22 and that's who we're running with.

Acres has had a few brain fades but hasn't been horrible.

In short STFU. We had 1 bad quarter and we're no where near full strength. You constant potting of our side is nothing short of embarrassing.

Kidding right? You do know it is a practice match, with us having hardly a mid and North dominating.

Hilarious "where is the improvement" - lol.

Yes delist him on a practice match.

Steven, Billing, and Gilbo rested.

 

[NLC78]

Acres looks slow and has ALWAYS looked slow with ball in hand. Not good. I dont care that he is improving running or ouah ups its footy not iron man.
He hasnt got it. Ive seen nothing from him to suggest he has AFL awareness.
Gresham in 3 quarters has already shown me he has AFL AWARENESS.

 

[Jackbenimble]

Chin up governor's! It's nab cup, North are only missing 3 of their best..

And there is still a quarter to go

 

[Winners Only]

Hickey has looked better rucking than forward. He has no idea as a forward but serviceable in the ruck. Is a major weakness in our list...McKernan would have been handy.

Teams must love Dempster having the ball in defence as heva look w ays give the opposition time to cover options. Always slow to trwbsition and deliver ball needs to improve this.

Its Feb 20th calm down, dont think to many people think we are a flag chance for a few years yet. Billings, Stevens not playing second half Gilbert injuried playing a bunch kids Fair dinkum

 

[The Jack Pack]

Strong mark from Brucey.

Cut that common sense s**t out, no good here

 

[sonnywalters]

Dunstan cant get near it.

 

[Stewart66]

Yes, perspective everyone.

Dads army putting the gap between us

It's a practice game, lost our structure
Very happy with some of the new kids myself.

Why don't you give him a chance to prove himself. He's a young player who has had some difficult injuries to overcome and fill out his body. Judge him after he's played a few games with an experienced number of players around him unlike today. Geezus mate stop the unnecessary negativity and get behind our boys.

 

[dewah07]

Dunstan cant get near it.

someone needs to find the real luke dunstan

MIA since that west coast game

 

[Jackbenimble]

Sorry.... We're doomed

 

[Joffaboy]

Defending well.

Interesting that we aren't interchanging this quarter.

Just making the kids

 

[dewah07]

game shows how much we need carsile. dempster lost a step, hugh not ready for the gorilla.

back to fisher? (shudders)

 

[Joffaboy]

Seems we are interchanging. Barry Hall is an idiot

 

[King_Steele]

Beautiful goal assist

 

[Superduperouzel]

Waite is a spud and a selfish spud at that lol

 

[Barrels]

I know I'm biased as hell, but if Gresh isn't in the Round 1 team I'll give up!
