Game Day North Melbourne v Port Adelaide, Round 22 - 19:25 AEST, Aug 17, 2019

[arden station]

You ditched Scott. You don’t need picks. You’re on the up.

We kicked one goal last week against Geelong - our lowest ever score.

 

[Reality Check!]

Ben Brown now hot favourite for coleman? Kangaroos get Adelaide back into the 8? By a POINT? lol please....

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Mathematicly still a chance

Crows and Dogs play each other next week, so NM can't leapfrog both

 

[demondavey]

We kicked one goal last week against Geelong - our lowest ever score.

It was raining in Geelong and Geelong are top 2. It’s a s**t ground. Relax. Bad sides don’t beat finals contenders by 80+ points.

 

[Back One Out]

7 North players with >32 disposals (and none of them BOG)

Higgins 38, Cunnington 37, Goldy 34, Macmillan 34, Ziebell 33, Simpkin 33, Polec 32

That's gotta be a record.

 

[WCfan22]

Last 2 weeks Port + geelong117 vs north125 their back in the black

127 - 158 in the end

Unless they draw lol

 

[B4Bear]

Come on North. Do it for my second team - the Bulldogs.

Done.

 

[WCfan22]

Do we have a no result result possible ha ha I forgot about that game

 

[ItsGameTime]

Done.

Yep but unfortunately Essendon are ruining it. Going to be the worst finals team with such a low percentage.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Where the f has this been all year?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Lol...Adelaide get pumped by 66pts and climb back into the 8. Either the Dogs or Hawthorn will be in the 8 tomorrow.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Hawthorn can still technically make it as well. Don't need much of a winning margin tomorrow to get 8th place. Beat WCE next week and cement their place in the Top 8.

 

[Mootsy]

Where the f has this been all year?

Your ball movement was off the charts good, superb.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Brown's season has been really underrated, even by North fans. Stoked he's gonna get the Coleman/AA double now.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Your ball movement was off the charts good, superb.

Funnily enough, this is the style of handball happy got Scott sacked.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Second highest team disposals in a game
Sixth highest team disposal differential in a game

 

[B4Bear]

Yep but unfortunately Essendon are ruining it. Going to be the worst finals team with such a low percentage.

Just add +365 to their no finals win; there is always an upside.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Second highest team disposals in a game
Sixth highest team disposal differential in a game

+51 for contested footy and 12 extra centre clearances, absolute smashing.

Inexcusable by Port.

 

[Jebus]

Where the f has this been all year?

We saw this intensity against Richmond and Collingwood as well, they're just much better sides than Port.

Plus being a tad cleaner and little more handball.

Darcy Byrne-Jones - 81% gametime, 1 kick, 4 handballs. Averaging 22.85 disposals per game coming into tonight, and 26.86 disposals over the last 7 games. One of Port's prime movers and ball users. What happened? Gameplanned and tagged out of it?

Both, although it was not a majorly noticeable tag. Had Zurhaar and Turner on and off.

 

[franjon]

North would have the best win-loss record when out of finals contention. We love winning games that mean nothing except making our draft position worse.

Thats a very ordinary way of looking at it.

Clever analysis and coaching from the Roos then. Goes beyond just beating Port at their own game around the contest. Nice bounce-back from the coaching staff and side.
