Game Day NORTH VS SAINTS (Round 1, FIGHT!)

[CarnaKangas]

Where’s the physicality we’ve been promised all preseason?

bunch of softcocks

At least there is a lot of opportunity for physicality, especially when the gameplan is kick long to contests of 10 players.

As clubs focus on controlling the ball, or going fast, North again zigging in their own stupid direction.

 

[kool kangas]

Goldstein and Tarrant can't win this game on their own....

 

[trooroo4life]

Call off the season, save us the torture of watching this s**t.

 

[Roscoe]

Right now if the season was cancelled I wouldn't care.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Now I’m glad that I can’t go to the footy this year. Imagine turning up and watching that garbage!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Outside maybe Tarrant, I can't think of one player who consistently delivers 4 quarters of footy week in, week out.

Our whole squad is full of flakey blokes who play in spurts. I'm sure it's not conscious, but it looks like bloked pick and choose when they will go.

No enforced standards for 10 years.

The ‘kick long to the boundary’ gameplan died 10 years ago.

We’ve decided to bring it back....

 

[G0ther00s]

To say that was one of the most insipid and lacklustre halves of footy I've ever seen wouldn't be doing justice to how pitiful it was.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

After watching the pre season games, we kinda expected this, right? What are we even trying to do? Well done on getting the team to try and tackle heaps Rhyce. Any chance you can actually look to implement a game plan outside of that?

 

[Harris 10]

Look on the bright side, season is getting cancelled soon anyway. Only a matter of time before a player gets the virus.

cancelled or postponed, what’s the talk?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

*Saints player head over the ball gets a tackle across the shoulder*
Ump: He had his head down over the ball, you have to protect it.

*North player head over the ball gets hip and shouldered compressing the neck*
Ump: Play on, lowered his head.

This is not the umps. Pittard tripped a bloke, play on, then we should have been pinged HTB, but play on.

We are s**t.

 

[winalotroos]

this has been pathetic mainly by our mids, Jack has been horrible Cunnington not far behind, how can our younger players learn if there’s no leadership

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I don’t buy that the players aren’t good enough. This list under his coach smashed in for the second part of last year, hurt and soundly beat some very good teams as well as ordinary ones.

What is the game plan?
So bad can’t even describe it

Kick to pack
Fumble fumble
Handball to shins
Scrubber kicks
Turnover
Give opponent separation and trail to contest

Marks for innovation. It’s unique

 

[Rod Stroker]

Same brad Scott line up, same results

We did smack Richmond and Collingwood with the same line up, and the same ground. Clearly those performances were outliers though.

 

[showusyacunningt]

If the rumours are right might be quicker than you think.

What's this? It's in the tap water?

 

[Devington]

Preseason form has carried over into the season proper.

Not ******* good enough from everyone, top down.

Thats the thing that kills me the most. A lot of the things that set off alarm bells all through the pre season looked to have been valid concerns.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

This is not the umps. Pittard tripped a bloke, play on, then we should have been pinged HTB, but play on.

We are s**t.

Where did I say this was on the umps? I was pointing out an inconsistency

 

[The Nostradamus]

Hopefully there are 3 things we’ve learnt from now on
1. You always pick 3 tall defenders (3 of Maj, taz, Walker, Durdin) Pittard and co can’t play tall stop that s**t
2. You never let Macmillan take a kick in
3. Jed is not best 22 And Murphy is a vfl player

 

[Johnny99]

One word. Rebuild.......Lets tank and apply for an additional priority pick., because we are so crap and embarrassing to watch. And let's start recruiting players with A. Talent. B. Skill and most importantly C. Balls. Because this current squad would struggle against Jazzy Garner, Kearney and co.

 

[goalieboy82]

What is the game plan?
So bad can’t even describe it

But there was no game plan...

 

[brettman135]

We really look s**t today.

 

[Val Keating]

Ugly

 

[Rad Roo]

Let's spell this out, SEASON OVER

 

[Snake_Baker]

Dwayne Russell is actively barracking for StKilda!

Polec, Simpkin, Tarrant, Goldy, MacMillan & Dumont playing well, although Polec's current DE% is horrid (44%).

Our skills under pressure have been the difference. They are terrible.

Hall, Ahern, Ziebell, Thomas & Anderson have all been poor. Cunnington 2 clearances. All must lift.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It’s halves like that which brought about the introduction of the Genève convention...
