AFL Round 11: North Melbourne v Brisbane Sunday 1:10pm AEST @ES

[Devington]

Beams looked depressed as * all night, but he's putting the work in. Good on him.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Definitely less intensity from us.

Really not liking some of these umpiring calls even if they're there. Shoddy.

Sums up the second half, lazy footy, complacency and the umpiring inconsistent and soft.

 

[SA HAWK]

North v Cats should be a cracker next week.

It’ll be interesting to see how our defence holds up against their forwards

North are in good form

Cats have the midfield advantage North everywhere else.

Our defence is much better , but their forwards are very good

 

[Chadwiko]

Ummm.... Who wants to tell him?

 

[A Swallow]

Your defence is much better than North's? The two sides are #1 and #2 for least points conceded, Geelong only going ahead in that stat this round. Bit rich to say "much better" I would have thought. I'll be very interested to see how well Stewart and co. can contain Brown, Wood, Ziebell, Waite etc.

Least we won the second half with one on the bench , boys didn't give it

 

[Shinboner '07]

How do you figure that we have the best defence in the league and conceded the least points

Gee can’t have an opnion have a ******* cry

 

[A Swallow]

Gee can’t have an opnion have a ******* cry

Who had a cry? It's reasonable that I ask why you say Geelong's is much better? Because you go for them and you like the players more?

 

[Shinboner '07]

It’s not about having a cry you couldn’t justify why geelongs defence is “much better” than norths

 

[Strange Cat]

Probbly because we have been missing our two best defenders all year and have been playing a new defensive line up this year that has been very good.

Nah it’s crying over an opnion

 

[iBeng]

How did they not thrash us by 100+??

Definitely lowered the intensity in the second half. I was a bit disappointed TBH, because percentage will be important, but I guess the sting went out of it.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Nah it’s crying over an opnion

Yeah well your opinion is invalid cos you couldn’t justify your point mate

 

[Kcrack]

How did they not thrash us by 100+??

Cue in the rack, return from Perth etc.

 

[Engimal v3]

How did they not thrash us by 100+??

Mercy.

 

[Benj7]

Woooww congrats! You didn’t get smashed only lost by 9 goals well done !

 

[MaddAdam]

Jeez that was shocking umpiring.

Great debut from Ahern.

 

[Damon_3388]

I know they had injuries to contend with in this game (and so did the opposition), and they're still a very young squad, but honestly, for all the "they're on the right track" and "I like what they're building" that gets bandied about by non-Brisbane supporters, have the Lions improved at all this year?

 

[Elixuh]

The booing all day has been brainless.

You begin to question whether some of those North fans understand the rules.

 

[Engimal v3]

Humiliating loss for Brisbane, losing to expected wooden Spooner's in North Melbourne.

Should look to rebuild next year.
