Game Day 2021 Round 1 - North v Port - OFFICIAL Game Day Thread (LMac out, Menadue in, Lazzaro sub)

[Horizons_00]

We tried to get rid of Polec...

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Charlie Lazzaro is keeping warm with Boomer now, has been running up and down the sideline, I don’t think he has stopped smiling today.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He is a good young player but he is not on track at this stage to be elite or an A Grader that only our supporters seem to think he will be. He'll have the odd good or even great quarter or 2 then vanish, the sad part is that output makes him our best midfielder right now.

He is absolutely on track to be an A Grade footballer.

Anyone near the cheer squad lmao

3/4 time.

Jack Ziebell: 22 disposal @ 91%, 9 intercepts, 7 rebounds and 484 metres. Who stated this was a bad idea?

He's vying with Stephenson for Norths best.

Hes got a disposal for every port point you supercoach muppet.

 

[SheezNuts]

Is anyone actually tagging LDU?? I’m pretty sure he isn’t getting tagged. I think he’s just disappeared. Lacks effort around the contest, and doesn’t want to run back hard to defend.

 

[BigRedRoo]

Wow annihilated in the clearances.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Yes. Terrible.

Would literally be scared of his own shadow. 100% sleeps with his bedroom night lamp on.

 

[rm3504]

Mahoney, Thomas, Taylor, zurhaar, larkey, scott, McKay
I think only north supporters would rave on about them

I agree...won't work every week and he's made 1 or 2 mistakes but there's many blokes in front of him who have been liabilities.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I get that LDU is the one to tag, but LDU needs to do better to stop the tagger from taking him out of the game. Good players have bad games for sure, but most of the time they'll still do something to try to break the tag (i.e. be more physical)

It's not that simple.

Port are a very experienced & well drilled midfield that work together to chop players out of the game.

We need Cunners & Jed back.

 

[king rising]

Let's be honest, we can praise him when he's good, but LDU's defensive efforts aroudn the ball are ******* dreadful. And it is effort, nothing else. He doesn't want to run as hard defensively as he does offensively.

Have said this since day dot and got shouted down. It’s blatantly obvious.

 

[Roosurgence]

Polec has been horrid

Based on today, I would drop him.

Been one of the main offenders in turning it over.

 

[BogBot]

You can see the reasoning behind rebuilding the midfield as a priority

 

[Waynesworld]

Dom Tyson isnt an AFL footballer.

Plenty more on the field today you can add to that list.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I agree...won't work every week and he's made 1 or 2 mistakes but there's many blokes in front of him who have been liabilities.

Hell, coughing up 1-2 goals is nothing considering how easy it's flowing in to the Port forward line.

 

[amaz199]

Mercifully Port were wayward in that quarter.

Even if we get our senior players back, there are a few holes in our list. Mainly the forward line and wing.

3-4years sounds about right.

 

[SheezNuts]

Stephenson has had a real crack. Easily our best today imo

 

[Cool Kangas]

Was to be expected today but still disappointing.

 

[scottywiper]

Polec and Tyson are list cloggers of world class.
Mahony not sold on at all.
How is Turner in leadership group when hes invisible on the ground and coughs it up whe he gets it?
McKay has done really well and Corr has been alright.
Stephenson been decent.
Bonar doesn't show much.
Thomas has talent but doesn't influence games yet.
Zurhaar needs a rocket.

 

[Shermanator]

Hes the second highest rated player on the ground...

 

[ChoppyGun]

I now understand why Zurhaar and Larkey are best mates.

Both can't get a kick.

 

[Marstermind]

He is absolutely on track to be an A Grade footballer.

Agree. Has he ever had a hard tag before? And we're just expecting him to break it? He'll be OK but he does need to work a lot harder than he has since 1/4 time.

Mahoney, Thomas, Taylor, zurhaar, larkey, scott, McKay

McKay been ok.

Because the moron coach last year had no idea. Destroyed a good player in a year.
