Autopsy Round 16, 2019: North Melbourne v St.Kilda *BILLINGS' 100TH*

[Premium]

Don't forget a brittle bone disease.

and a egg shell skull

 

[Pardon me]

30 disposals (17 contested) & 11 clearances v Collingwood last week.

Got 49 games under his belt now, so he's starting to arrive. Goes in hard too. The kid is going to be a gun.

Couldn’t miss him today mate.
Looks like you’ve got a jet on your hands

Sounds a bit like my golf game. I either drive it really well and 3 putt every hole, or I spray them off the tee but seem to 1 putt everything.

Either way, the result is the same, I SUCK!!!

As does Ross!

This is a time when you need the fat comic store guy from the Simpsons!
Worst Captain ever!

To be honest the list is that flat now and out of form now I dont think it would matter who takes over from Richo for the remainder. It has been left far too long the damage is irrepairable this season.

Yes and no. You're right, the damage is done this season. But for what can be gained from the remaining weeks, we should try something, anything..

 

[plugger66]

exactly - we get 3 talls and it will be a game changer at the moment we only have Bruce - Membery is only a Stringer , De Goey 3rd tall

Mate we could plugger dunstall Lockett and piggy and they wouldn’t touch it. Our midfield is as good as my sex life. Completely ****ed

 

[saintbill]

One thing people don't see in Bruce is that he goes right up the ground to be a kick out option. They send most of their kicks through him if no other options present. He then runs back flat out to be a forward target. He's a work horse. Plonk him at a true FF and he'll kick bags.

It is hard to get an accurate gauge on our forwards because the game plan is so broken. They are constantly competing against 2-3 blokes. It must create a tremendous amount of pressure, as when you finally get some space or a one on one you have to capitalise as who knows when it will happen again. For a confidence player like Bruce, it is tough going.

I think in a decent side he look a lot better.

 

[plugger66]

Dimmies dipped in VB or is that offensive?

No I’m fine with that. As if I cared 90% of my posts are sarcastic. The other 21% are crap

Thanks mate.

Dropped to pick 12 due to a broken leg in his final TAC season. Many had him rated in the top 5 before that.

We got lucky.

we know plug , we need the mids , but we only have one tall up forward and hopefully with King it will help , my only worry Coniglio did his leg today.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Probably, but top 3 would give us one of Rowell, Anderson or Green.

We'll have p4.
Sydney, hawks and dogs will pull away and Melbs are stuck at 16th.

Billings had 35 touches at 80% plus efficiency and pretty well zero influence on the game. After first quarter I watched him closely...the vast majority of his possessions went sideways between 15 and 25 metres. The vast majority also came back over his head a few seconds later. Doesn't break lines, doesn't gain metres, doesn't open up the game with precise disposal.

He's had better games but was very good today.. aim your frustrations elsewhere

If Cho isn’t gone this week then I’m done.. I’m sick and tired of watching ordinary footy. I don’t even get any enjoyment out of watching us anymore. Even when we scrape over the line against teams like GC.
Going into every game knowing that we’ll lose unless by some miracle we actually pull it together and play out of our skins is depressing.

Sacking Richo may not be the answer (however I think it is) but at least it changes something up. The club has just gone completely stale. And no wonder when our coach seems to have the personality of a spoon.

Cho is holding the club to ransom because of that stupid finals clause. He needs to leave. Ratten can then coach out the season so we can have a look at him

Yea cool just asking because there was a blow up last night when I asked whether you had had a few

 

[my name was taken]

The bad news is #1 and #2 will be brilliant and then there’ll be daylight
( not knowing anything at all about the players coming through, but....St.Kilda.)

Carlton have a few winnable games, us, sydney, GC. More chance of them leap frogging us than us winning a final.

Cogs is as much hope to come to us as we are of winning the grand final. We might get cogs dad

 

[PoppedCorn]

Mehhh
No surprises really was it
And just to add a bit of shit to the sandwich, Battle cops an injury.

Nice
St kilda, always delivering

 

[Mowman]

Depends on who says it

 

[plugger66]

Yes I know and as if I’m serious. If it was up to me it would be all out sledging.

 

[Aussieviking1]

Yes Ross was excellent across our HBF setting up the North thrusts.

Was he playing??

 

[Premium]

we lost in the first - midfield just wasn't there / don't think Ross , Dunstan and Steele had a touch

 

[triggering bro]

We'll have p4.
Sydney, hawks and dogs will pull away and Melbs are stuck at 16th.

Round 19: Melbourne vs Saints

Pick 3 Cup

 

[Premium]

one thing out of todays game Steele almost broke the tackling record - 18 today

 

[mightymalaka]

Was he playing??

YES!

For North!

 

[Diehard Saint]

Carlton have a few winnable games, us, sydney, GC. More chance of them leap frogging us than us winning a final.

Which is my point....we’ll land up with pick 3, and miss the two stand out picks.
Who said anything about us winning a final?

 

[plugger66]

Last two trade periods I've suggested trading Ross, as I thought he was vanilla, had hit his ceiling and also had excellent 1st round currency.

Now has excellent 3rd round currency.

I'd like to go back and find the hero's who shouted me down, actually.

Club that takes no risks gets no rewards.

Pathetic.

Probably me. I get many things wrong. My footy side for a start. I’d trade Ross for a Vanilla ice cream tonight
