Game Day North v Carlton

[The acurate one]

Dawson, corr and pink have hardly touched the ball

Not sure Stephenson has done anything either.

 

[fusion]

Philips needs to play next week. We have 1.5 players who can win a clearance and the 1 is our ruckman

Did you see his game today?

 

[DEVO]

The guys showed some fight in the last 10 minutes of that quarter to not only stop Carlton from scoring but to kick a couple ourselves.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

This is the game we were all worried about with Corr, Pink and Dawson our 3 key backs. Couple that with Carlton midfield dominance and here we are.

That said, you could actually look at 29 pts down as a positive. We get on top in the middle, we're a chance. We don't, hello 10+ goal loss.

The harsh reality is that our players don’t have the metal to absorb any sort of pressure. And they are under a lot.

Our three leaders out there: McDonald, Simpkin and LDU have been invisible.

Scott and the kids are trying. Stephens was decent offensively in the last 10 minutes for a cameo.

Can anyone name a player in the middle or flanks apart from Scott who is playing the same they usually despite the pressure?

This new executive level 2 section is wall to wall blues supporters

I had multiple blues fans ask for my premiership club tickets. I gave them to a friend of a friend north family. Last week there were two people wearing Melbourne scarves for some reason.

 

[Devington]

And the most undisciplined

tbh there were two frees against in our D50 we were lucky the umps didn't spot

Big fan of running past a haunched player and swinging his arm to 'tackle' them.

 

[apollo_creed]

Can you just give it a ******* rest.

He’s just a ******* knob, ignore him. Been embarrassed with his CCJ call and makes a fool of himself anytime he opens his mouth about football.

Again Corr our worst defender. Just an idiot with the ball or when making decisions, has a negative football iq.

 

[Shermanator]

Great game for the Stephenson lovers to be up and about..

5 kicks, 0 handballs, 0 marks, 0 tackles, 0 goals, 0 points..

Must be just waiting for him to warm up I guess..

 

[koshari]

Corr may be the worst player we’ve ever paid somewhat premium for

Polec?

 

[JGreezy]

Maley can't kick. He needs to keep working on that part of his game. Comben attacks the ball with vigor, always worried he's going to hurt himself the way he lands. With CCJ down, I'd bring him back and he can play either end and help in the ruck.

He doesn't have to kick. Just mark.

 

[krakouers]

We are finishing bottom 2 again.

Nah we won’t, but the eight wins I had in my head at the start of the year is in danger

 

[blackshadow]

I’m sitting next to sheez’s family, they are so kind

I’m sitting behind Chris Fagan. I’m considering asking him what the Brisbane boys got up to in Vegas.

 

[Krakoueraddict]

Geez Gary Lyon is such a smug prick.

He's a senior player that should have a calming influence.

Instead he's a hothead who gives away frees and 50s routinely

 

[Hazey1977]

Need more blokes than this to actually get a possession or 15!

was similar in the first 2 rounds. we concede too many shots on goal because our defence isn't up to it

Our defence? Bloody hell, I reckon they’re doing ok given a) how pathetic our midfield is defensively and b) the umps. They’ve been under siege the poor buggers. (Having said that, any defence featuring Fisher, Corr and McDonald is a major worry.)

Lazzaro . But that’s not really a game Turner

 

[archereleven]

Powell is ok in his vicinity but just doesn’t have the legs to chase George is the only mid with some speed. Need Cam in there at the start and I would throw Curtis as well. The obvious answer moving forward is Colby.

We need a long-term clearance solution, and that is Will Phillips this season. Tarryn is gone, so all work goes into LDU at stoppages, and this is the result.

I will say that Lazz has surprised and had a pretty decent game. I think what he needs to realise is that if he is to take possession, he needs to be in space. As soon as there is pressure defensively he goes to water. Knock it on son, bash it forward and let your motor do the rest.

 

[TruRoos7]

So does the CCJ and Goat Achilles allow us to take 2 in the MSD and is there anyone of worth in there??

 

[DrZaius]

Philips needs to play next week. We have 1.5 players who can win a clearance and the 1 is our ruckman

I love Phillips, have defended him often and reckon he has the potential to be a weapon for us, but he does not deserve to come in based on his performance today

He does the same s**t every week. Incredibly selfish and stupid footballer.

Going for 10 like me?

 

[Psi-Roos]

As much as I hate to say it. The Warlord is having a mare. Running about like a headless chook and not doing much.

His energy is great though

 

[Hojuman]

We are finishing bottom 2 again.

Seems inevitable doesn't it.
Wet Toast will get their one win of the year v us at Optus. Hawthorn will outsmart us like rd.3 last year.......and the draft thread will get a workout about May / June.
