Review Round 23 vs North Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium - 20/8/22 2:10pm

How much more optimism do you want from 1 lone man?

A bit more than that

You do you brother don't take me too seriously. I'm giving my two cents about things just like you. Carry on as you were.

Hope North have enough money to fix all those walls that are going to be broken in the coach’s box.

Secco to kick 1.6 whilst burning better options all day.

I was so hoping Sexy would come out today and ream Dew's fat arse
Dew came in saying he wouldn't play favourites and for mine that's his worst trait- he does exactly that!
(I'm on board for Dew btw)
I've posted on multiple occasions that Sexy would have the Club record for bags of 4 or more
Kicking 4 goals in an AFL match once is hard
Doing it lots of times takes real talent
And as for burning team mates?
Who exactly is he burning that's got more goal kicking cred than himself?
I love that he backs himself in

 

[CommittedSuns]

If you knew who I was you definitely wouldn't say I don't know how business works


Don't be so sensitive. You're calling out the club and I'm calling out you. Live by the sword and die by the sword.

Tony Cochrane is that you?

Sexton well and truly deserving to give Dew some cheeky lip tonight.

 

[Greendogg]

If only we could play north every week!!

 

[Jen2310]

At least it ends the year off in a positive note, which they can take that into pre-season.

 

[Jirik13]

For those interested Dew touched on Sexton, Rowell, Rankine in his presser.

Surprised that Chol had under 20 touches, it felt like he was everywhere today

 

[Engimal v3]

Also, why does your cheersquad bounce silently instead of clapping and cheering? It was the most upsetting thing about today lol

 

[SUNS]

Also, why does your cheersquad bounce silently instead of clapping and cheering? It was the most upsetting thing about today lol

I agree. This is how a cheer squad looks in peak condition

Most of them aren't Suns supporters and are mostly local kids that go to Suns games and sit in the cheer squad and have a bit of fun.

Agreed. You should barrack for your team instead of jumping, it is way better

Not bad for a fb group

Yeah, I back them in, good value and very entertaining.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Most prolific game we've seen from Luko up front.

I like him having the ball 80m out from goal.
He is good at leading up at the ball when we're on a semi fast break whereas Chol is leading back towards goal.

Didn't work out that much this game.. but, still had 2 goal assists.
And he hasn't played there enough to get any connection with the forwards.
Kingy will get hit on the tit time after time next year.

Been to less depressing funerals

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Rosas or Davies sneaky chances at rising star noms?

Rosas
RD 23: 14 disposals, 2 goals, 1 goal assist, 8 score involvements, 4 tackles
Amongst rising stars: 8th goals, 6th goal assists, 6th tackles, 2nd i50 tackles


Davies
RD 23: 15 disposals, 2 goals, 1 goal assist, 4 tackles (3 inside 50)
Amongst rising stars: 5th tackles, 4th centre clearances, 8th clearances, 4th i50 tackles

 

[Greendogg]

Jesus Sexton is garbage

Haha, that didn’t age well

 

[Supersuns]

Haha, that didn’t age well

That first quarter wasn't good, glad he turned it around

 

[Greendogg]

That first quarter wasn't good, glad he turned it around

So are you saying he is garbage or he just had a bad first quarter?

It's really hard to get a read on that game given how terrible North were in the second half. They barely won a contest. I love that Sexton kicked six, but how much of it is fool's gold? When the game was still in the balance he couldn't impact. Only when our mids got well on top and their defensive pressure faded did he start to run riot. There's absolutely no doubting the forward craft he has, of course. He still has to get into position to kick those goals, but if he's not kicking at least two goals a week, you can't play him. He doesn't offer much else. IMO that's not sustainable, hence why he got dropped. Would I have him over Jeffrey? Nope. That said, would I have Sexton in over Holman? Yeah, I think so. Especially if Davies is going to be playing like that in his role.

Even MacPherson looked good in the second half, streaming off half-back and hitting targets. Like I said, some fool's gold there I think.

When the game was there to be one, it was Swallow & Anderson that did the heavy lifting. Anderson impacted that game in a way that only a few others before him at the club have: GAJ, Harley & Touk. Noah is one pre-season away from doing that routinely IMO. Thing is? No-one is going to tag him. If a team is going to tag anyone, it will be Touk. Anderson is primed for an epic year next year, all things being well.

 

[Sunny_]

Chol & Casboult looked so utterly cooked, too. Both paying the price for playing virtually every game. Casboult did well to hang in, but he hasn't been at the level for about a month.

Chol still finding way to get shots at goal despite the fact that he has lost most of his agility and is clearing injured is a great sign for the future for when he gets that back.

Dew said it looked like we had gas in the tank in the presser. I'd dispute that. Some do. A lot don't.
