Autopsy R13 NM v WCE in Perth

[franjon]

if we can do it away in arguably one of the most challenging stadiums for away teams then why can’t we do that at home?

Our premiership run starts now

I think you mean the more, not so arguably, mentally challenged stadiums.

What a win. So happy for the boys, staff and coaches. Would've been cruel to lose that one.
Our pressure has slowly been building, mostly just for a half the last few weeks but they put together four quarters.
Not sure how many wins we'll have the rest of the year but if we bring effort and pressure we can at least be in games even if perhaps we can't sustain it over a game or week to week with such a young side consistently.

As for Healy, the campaigner tried to Campbell Brown

us at the start of the last quarter with his "North will dine out now". He knew exactly what he was doing and said the same thing a few years back that jinxed us.
It was great hearing Papalia and Schofield give their commentary as opposed to Healy.

Larkey possibly higher than I'd expected and surprised no Fisher.

Larkey possibly higher than I'd expected and surprised no Fisher.

If you look at our votes, no one has given Fisher a single vote. Seems a little harsh on reflection.

Larkey should thank LDU for his votes.

Set him up on multiple occasions.

Simpkin gets 5 from both coaches.

Larkey has to be a 4 and 3.

Cripps gets a 1 and 0.

Then the three with 4 has to be someone with 2 and 2, another with 1 and 3 and another with 4 and 0.

 

[Event Horizon]

Larkey possibly higher than I'd expected and surprised no Fisher.

Also surprised that LDU didn't get more. But looking at those votes, one of the 4 vote getters got 4 from 1 coach and zero from the other. Which is interesting

This was one of the more important wins in our recent history. The entire club really needed this one. Just to revive the pulse. It was also the first meaningful win (where both teams genuinely tried to win the game) since round 2 last season at the same venue. A long time between drinks.

Now that we finally broke though, it is now up to the coaches to bottle this spirit and to push for 4-5 wins as a minimum for the season. It's not impossible. Plenty of winnable games if we are up and about for 4 quarters.

Should have really iced this game and not allowed them such easy goals in the last quarter. But once they got in front, it is priceless for the belief of this group to be able to wrestle it back when it looked gone.

The next lesson is to learn how to go on with it and run away with the win if we are on top.

Yes, which makes the 4 and 0 player very intriguing. Wonder who it was?

I reckon either Simmo gave Yeo 4 or Clarko gave Sheezel 4. Hard to imagine either coach not giving LDU anything.

Also wouldn't surprise me if Clarko gave Yeo 4, given his praise of him in the post match.

 

[Caracas]

He was subbed off injured. Was doing well up until then too.

I’m one of Wil’s biggest fans and was gutted that he got injured. However, he was absolutely stat-less when he left the field.

I had Larkey as BOG, actually. Without him, we definitely don’t win.

Without pink larkey doesn’t get off the chain.
Pinks my BOG!

We need someone in that position who can actually kick goals and be dangerous. Pink is not that player

 

[Orange Peanut]

For those who didn't recognise him - North Melbourne's own Evan Hewitt with Boomer.

Have seen him at Melbourne games too, great he stayed a North man.

I remember Eddie McGuire commenting Adam Lange's 2nd game. Said something like "North have found another one! First Evan Hewett starts breaking out and now this guy. How do they keep picking them?!"

 

[king of the road]

Heally was also more positive towards North than usual yesterday, but at the end he went full pants down bananas for WCE. His sooky whining about Yeo was embarrassing. Heally should watch back that last quarter to realise what a tool he made of himself.

It's part of the job. What these twats say on TV is not related to what they actually think - it's a job to make them and their employer $$$$. It's a ploy to get you worked up, post, watch, listen and click... Seems to have worked in your case.

In this instance, find a call to make 'controversial' at the end of the game. That gives the vacuous TV and radio talk back shows content for the next week to dissect in the absence of any meaningful analysis or content.

It’s a long bow, DD. But, I’ll give it to you.
Edit: Everyone gets a car…!

I love Larkey so no issues with his votes, more surprised because forwards are often judged as beneficiaries of other's good work.

 

[King Corey]

Heally always heaps praise on LDU. He may have had some role during Luke's formative years. Heally was also more positive towards North than usual yesterday, but at the end he went full pants down bananas for WCE. His sooky whining about Yeo was embarrassing. Heally should watch back that last quarter to realise what a tool he made of himself.

I thought Healy was a prat. Every West Coast non free cried over, every North free disputed.

Countdown until the w***er retires.
