Autopsy Match sim versus Pies. This Wednesday, 10am. AIA.

[Hearts to hearts]

I know all the facts about the status of this practice but it’s still very nice to hear that our players have put in and beaten quality opposition at this time of year - we are here to build experience and hope and it seems like today is delivering.

 

[Samsquanch]

Almost all of the North players have looked like they are more aware of "where to be" compared to recent seasons. Today they weren't swarming to the ball or the ball carrier like under 10s and there was not one occasion in the match where the defender kicked down the line to a pack. There was hardly a time when multiple North players competed against one another for marks.

The thing l like about the defence is that the responsibility it is being shared among all the defenders. We dont have 1 dominant player making all other players having to second guess their next move. l know that we have Logue and Corr to return but l would be comfortably with the players we have atm which in other years had me worried..

 

[CURVE]

She's not a very good commentator in terms of broadcasting talent and speaking - but she appears very knowledgable in terms of footy

I believe it's Lili Mithen

[Ligma]

LOLLLL we are all over them

 

[Sphynx]

Depth of our midfield stocks is starting to come to the fore even against the Pies.

When you can afford to roll Will Phil, Powell and Laz against their 2nd's midfield, it is likely going to be a good outcome.

What’s that 7 shots on goal for Curtis and a couple of assists?

Overrated

 

[Hearts to hearts]

They also continued to downplay us in the 4th by saying “north still have all of their stars out there”. Couldn’t get a more biased commentary team.

”All of their stars”? I reckon we’d have no-one other than Larkey, LDU and Sheezel who would be considered any kind of star in a footy conversation, and none with the track record of the Pies’ many premiership winning players.

 

[kool kangas]

This female commentator is horrendous

l have heard worse...

 

[Disco Dew]

We kept them to 3 goals after quarter time.. praccy match or not that’s pretty bloody good

[CURVE]

Can we get 30+ goals out of Curtis, Zurhaar and Stephenson this season?

 

[RooStu15]

Powell, Phillips and Laz in the middle and winning it

 

[The Law]

will be hard for opposition teams to win when they can't win a clearance against us.

 

[Premieroos]

What a difference this is in the last 5 minutes compared to years past where we were completely gassed and could just be steamrolled over.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Powell, Phillips and Laz in the middle and winning it

Two of those three will play. One misses out. Phillips came on when Wardlaw went off so he’s last in line you’d think.

shit, racing there to read it now!!!

 

[Samsquanch]

This female commentator is horrendous

She doesn't have much enthusiasm in her tone but is still better than the usual screaming lunatics. But that was a strange ramble a few minutes ago.

 

[Sphynx]

Remembering we have the likes of Big Game Zane, Brayden George, Goad, Dawson all in the tank long term for this team

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Can we get 30+ goals out of Curtis, Zurhaar and Stephenson this season?

Combined? Yes

 

[RooStu15]

Long 5 minutes

 

[Liam Boy]

couldn't watch because I'm at work, looking forward to seeing some highlights though

 

[leighlee13]

Considering its 31 degrees out there, its been a great effort by the boys.

 

[year of the roo]

Missing from our best 22 from today:

Definites: Scott, McDonald, Corr, Logue
Probables: Ford, Tucker, Comben
Possibles: Greenwood, Duursma, George, Archer

So plenty to still come back too.
