Damn how lucky we are to have Crispy? Ever reliable and has barely played a bad game.
Good to see his Kicking has Improved earlier in the Season

To be fair Grundy was in our top 5 today. Broke even in the ruck, got some clearances and was noticeable around the ground. 124 points in player rankings not too shabby either.
Gawn didn't break even with Goldstein last week, he was beaten by him. Don't let your dislike of Grundy blind you completely.He is not a million dollar a year player. He rarely takes contested marks or kicks goals. He is not as active at ground level in clearances. A team's most highly paid player is expected to do more than 'break even'.
Armchair critic eh?Oh magnificent, you do know how they score ruck for points ! tap ball to your own feet, 5 points
Also, and to be fair, Mayne had a pretty large last quarter and played a role in steadying us down when we might have panicked and let them get a roll on.
I think he is. Just needs to get some confidence in the contest at this level.I’m not sure Henry is tall enough to make it as an overhead marking forward at AFL level. His opponents in the AFL will be taller and stronger and just as quick. He might need to reinvent himself as a midfielder.

North have pushed very good teams in recent weeks. If they are as bad as you suggest Melbourne is the worst undefeated team in the history of our game. Why go hyperbolic?Awful game of football to watch.
Any other team would've beat us by 7-8 goals and beat Norf by 10-15 goals.
We got kissed on the you know what by the umpires. Biggest armchair ride I've seen so far this year.
Just embrace the rebuild already and stop playing guys like WHE, Thomas, C.Brown and Mayne.
Melbourne had to come from behind to beat the VFL team. They should be deeply worried sitting up there undefeated.Good to get a Win but we beat pretty much a Good VFL Team.
Loved Poulter Game
Off your high horse. Supporters are entitled to express their disappointment or criticise what they perceive to be poor coaching or lack of effort.It wasn't a great spectacle. In the last quarter we did everything we could to let them back into the game but luckily they refused the opportunity.
That's cool, I'll take the win. You have to win ugly before you can win beautifully; it's part of the long process back to playing good footy.
Jordy and Cameron did a nice job; Checkers is a damn fine footballer. Noble is of small stature but has the lungs and heart of a horse.
More losses coming this year so the posters that are openly wishing for defeat won't have to wait too long before they can once again spew their bile.
What a top side should, we are not a top side or near it but we aren't country seconds league standard as so many are harping on about.
That winless side gave top side Melbourne the fright of their lives for 3 quarters last week.
I think it’s worth highlighting the first half of Tyler Brown too. Yes, he faded out, but he blanketed Cunnington and was prolific around stoppages. He seems to attract a lot of vitriol around here so this will be unpopular, but credit to the young man. I think he will be part of our long term midfield group.
I'm pretty sure Noble is 1/2 pony...
Re-sign Buckley already for 7 more years
How about 25 posessions and 23 hit outs? Care to ridicule those statistics? Or doesn't that fit the narrative you're pushing?Oh magnificent, you do know how they score ruck for points ! tap ball to your own feet, 5 points
The genuine problem is we are just not good enough which I think the club knew and said ok we trade out some talent cause we aren't going to compete and just rebuild without hopefully falling all the way down
Agree - and needs to improve his decision making, he is very hesitant before giving off and fails to take the first option.
Surely no club would seriously consider giving us a first round pick for Sidebottom if he is already spent?Sidey I think we should bite the bullet and see if we get anything definitely on his last legs.
I thought Grundy dirrcted his tap outs well this afternoon and as a result we took the ball out of the centre quite a lot.Overall not too bad of a bad performance and yes whilst I agree you can't be jumping up and down about beating North as they're terrible. However geez when Darcy is back there our who gamestyle drastically shifts. We move the ball so much more freely and centrally rather than slow chip down the line play. Moore Crisp Noble Maynard and Quaynor all done it a lot more freely with Darcy down there. The genuine problem is we are just not good enough which I think the club knew and said ok we trade out some talent cause we aren't going to compete and just rebuild without hopefully falling all the way down. De Goey it is bloody simple leave him out of the goal square especially when Elliot gets back having both in that Forward 50 will be able to dominate. Hoskin Elliot not sure how many more weeks him and JT can do nothing and still get a guernsey just not good enough or smart enough players. JT 3 shots from about 55 you clearly can't get the distance and went for the shot everytime falling 5 metres short rather than setting up to the top of the square to create a chance. Hopefully Henry gets another game his positioning is good, good mark and kick however is just not strong enough which will come but needs some continuity. Grundy was OK but geez how do we not capitalise on his hit outs there has to be something done he just doesn't get an effect on the game wins the tap our midfield never reads that we would have to be the lowest scoring teams of clearances. Sidey I think we should bite the bullet and see if we get anything definitely on his last legs.
I prefer Sier's kicking - more penetrating and creative. Tyler's just go up and down.Not sure if it’s just me but I feel as though T Brown hesitates in giving off the ball, just like his Callum Brown...

I thought Thomas did some good things. Garbage is ridiculously over the top.Noble Poulter Moore Crisp very good
Probably the first time I've seen Tyler Brown play a good game in a long long time
Thomas WHE garbage as usual
Henry and Mcreery struggled
Noble should be nicknamed “Saddam”.. in honour of the Butcher from Baghdad.Noble 30 + possessions of gut busting running and tackling - not the highest skilled player on our list but no bigger heart exists in the team.
He is. Once he learns to use those magnificant marking hands of his at AFL level, he'll be a weapon. Has a great leap and loves a contested pack mark. His size is no consequence.I’m not sure Henry is tall enough to make it as an overhead marking forward at AFL level. His opponents in the AFL will be taller and stronger and just as quick. He might need to reinvent himself as a midfielder.
