There was another incident earlier that I noticed where McKay had an intercepting mark covered before he was taken out by another one of our blokes allowing the Geelong player to capitalise. Hopefully they work on communication at training.Not enough talk or something there. Don’t need our own players taking each other out
Standard at pussy-cat parkGreat mark but bullshit free kick. Slight nudge and the cats player takes a dive.
no doubt; I think it was Bonar who spoiled McKay - once they've played 80-90 games together, might be a different storyThere was another incident earlier that I noticed where McKay had an intercepting mark covered before he was taken out by another one of our blokes allowing the Geelong player to capitalise.

Not hard but Clearly ahead of Kyron & Atley AlreadyIts just awesome when you're in a rebuild and a piece of the puzzle may have potentially been resolved. Boy he adds a lot to our defense playing back pocket. Can see him wandering down for 8 to 10 goals a year once he settles into his role
I thought it was Bonar. Didn't want to single anyone out as I couldn't recall for certainty.no doubt; I think it was Bonar who spoiled McKay - once they've played 80-90 games together, might be a different story
That cat went down like he was hit by a high power rifle shot. I thought it must have been at least a 44 Magnum the way he reacted. Nobody fakes a dive like that do they (unless they train for it)?Great mark but bullshit free kick. Slight nudge and the cats player takes a dive.
Umpires reward that garbage. Of course they are gunna keep doing it.That cat went down like he was hit by a high power rifle shot. I thought it must have been at least a 44 Magnum the way he reacted. Nobody fakes a dive like that do they (unless they train for it)?
I was being a smart arse of course. Geelong are one team who play it up more than most. They get rewarded and as you say - they are going to keep doing it.Umpires reward that garbage. Of course they are gunna keep doing it.
Yeah I get it. Commentators said nothing. It’s accepted as the norm to overplay all contact these days. Especially on their home deck. Half the time Danger and Selwood more than borderline umpire the game themselves. It’s a joke.I was being a smart arse of course. Geelong are one team who play it up more than most.

Them, and Jack Riewoldt. He pays more frees than Ray Chamberlain.Yeah I get it. Commentators said nothing. It’s accepted as the norm to overplay all contact these days. Especially on their home deck. Half the time Danger and Selwood more than borderline umpire the game themselves. It’s a joke.
Was it Hawkins that used two hands and shoved Goldstein in the back in a forward ruck contest? Play on, nothing to see there. Wasn’t quite like the rodgering that we got in the Crows game but we do seem to be on the wrong side of the ledger a lot this year!!!!I was being a smart arse of course.

I see that Aaron Bonarvulagi had a great gameWhat is below is a copy and paste from the footyalmanac
Atu Bosenavulagi (North Melbourne)
With North Melbourne having a horrid season to date, even with a valiant effort down at Geelong, one of the bright spots was Atu Bosenavulagi. Bosenavulagi is of Fijian descent, played three games for Collingwood before being involved in the Jayden Stephenson trade, during last year’s trade period. He played his first game for the year with North and looked solid. Picked with the 77th pick in the 2018 draft playing for Boroondara Hawks and Oakleigh Chargers as a junior, Bosenavulagi played in the backline, and anytime Dangerfield went forward, he was the man to mark him up, which is a lot to ask of anybody, especially a fourth game player. A fantastic athlete showing great speed to run down Patrick Dangerfield, who is known for his explosiveness, is a feat which not many players can do. He showed us his quick decision-making ability, by hand or foot, not overcomplicating things; excellent sign in a young player to make the game easier.
Furthermore, Bosenavulagi showed great ability to see the ball coming into the backline and to effectively read and intercept the play. He was a big reason in the early stages of the game, for Geelong’s insufficient entries into the forward 50. Excellent skills to pressure and compete in his one-on-one contests is what helped North Melbourne stay in the game early. Unfortunately, he got medically subbed out with an injury. In summary, Bosenavulagi gathered 16 disposals, with seven intercept possessions and six of those coming early in the match. With North Melbourne going through a complete rebuild, Atu Bosenavulagi seems like a perfect, and he will develop and grow with this young list and become a strong, fast Backman with the ability to defend and rebound.
Hmm, I wonder? Surprised he didn't get credited with TT's goal as well.I see that Aaron Bonarvulagi had a great game
...seriously though, how do you mix up 3 players that badly??
