Game Day Community Series. North Melbourne v wc Saturday 1/3/25 Bunbury WA

[ferball]

Yes absolutely cranking one out

You could see this result coming a mile away. We are still 3-4 years away from winning games like that

One straight kick and we'd have won. Is it gonna take three or four years to do that?

You said we'd lose by five or six goals!

 

[muttley45]

Some pretty creative whistle blowing, particularly late in the game, how many not 15, play on for us v them ?

 

[hilly]

Stats don’t win games

We still can’t even beat the shittest team in a practice game with having top 5 of the possessions

It’s more of a red flag imo

Unforced errors.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Unforced errors.

Unpressured possession into direct turnover.

We own that shit.

 

[shinboner magic]

That umpire 4 is weagles fan right.
Gave them everything and called them back on the mark 4+ times before they moved.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

We’re a 3-4 goal better team than them based off that. That’s progress on last year.

 

[CURVE]

For the most part, pretty happy with the performance, just our forward entries and our conversion let us down.

Our back half was pretty solid for most of the game, but there were a few times they were left exposed, and WC were able to score easily, we still struggle to cover our mistakes.

Our mids looked very good, dominated for most of the game, although I am a little concerned that after the first quarter, they allowed West Coast to win the clearences. There is still a lot of work to do before they start dominating on a regular basis.

Our forward line looked a little disjointed at times, the connection between the mids and forwards didn't really click, I am hoping that may have been because of the blustery conditions. I'm not holding my breathe.

 

[Roosurgence]

Corr gets the 3 votes for giving them their first 4 or 5 goals of the game

Corr has been a disaster for this club.

He’s given away more dumb goals than contest positively impacted.

He sucks the air out this team with his constant stupid errors that give the opposition easy goals and momentum.

**** him off!

 

[shinboner magic]

Unpressured possession into direct turnover.

We own that shit.

Our senior players are still the problem with the turnovers

 

[Passmore]

I think the West Coast player on the mark may have got a hand in and changed the trajectory of the bakk but that doesn't mitigate the fact that Larkey should have hit his target who was 20 metres in the clear and streaming towards goal.

Handball in the general direction would have been a better option.

I thought we got a rough run.
Xerri got mauled all day, hands over his shoulder in pretty much every contest yet only got a couple of frees.

And most of them are masquerading as footballers in our backline.

 

[Psychic Roo]

I know its a broken record. Lmac was terrible again. He fumbled, bumbled. Called when out of position including that comben kick which was a comben skill error but he shouldnt call - it creates doubt.
Please, please stop this. It is toxic to our club. He is so far gone. There is no improvement coming. FOS goes down there and plays better then LMAC has ever played. Stop it. Please.

Colby, Chom and Archer probably racked up a few between them tbh.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Why would you move if our players are going to sit it on ya head 20 times a game?..

They're sitting it on their head because they're not moving! There's no other choice being given.

McTorcher

 

[barnrokn]

He kicked it straight to a West Coast player when a North player was in 20 metres of space, all because he was a lazy ****.

Into the wind on about the only occasion we had the ability to move the ball fast, went through the middle of the ground. Larkey marked at half forward we had players free forward on the ball he could have kicked it anywhere and he directly turned it over.


He’s a senior player and it was awful.

Yeah what the f was that .

No Left Foot

 

[the big lebowski]

Overall that was good prep for round 1.

Concerning that we again dominate and don’t win but at least this time we had

8 more scoring shots than the opposition

That’s a positive for even the most pessimistic of supporter.

We really aren’t great with a wind.

Anyway, seemingly no injuries, plenty of room improvement from our forwards, larkey and cam especially.

Lastly, I thought Darling was cooked?

Did youse mean he’s on fire? Im confused

 

[Roosurgence]

No Left Foot

And lazy with no urgency.

The melts in this thread would have you think we've lost by 50 in a real game and we haven't imrpoved at all.

It's a nothing game with a nothing result riding on it. Yes it would have been nice to win but I think Clarko and the coaches would be happy with the takeaways and know what we need to work on. Overall I think the positives far outweighed the negatives.

I liked how in the 2nd when they started kicking away we were able to stem the tide by keeping possession with short little chip kicks. In the past we would have put our head down.

You said we'd lose by five or six goals!

But we didn’t kick one straight did we?

We lost again didn’t we?

To a club who has almost been as bad as us over the last 3 years and had more players out

But keep being delusional

3 win season incoming!

The problem is that regardless of it being a nothing game, if we are going to improve, we should have buried that West Coast side.

Winning is winning regardless of it being a practice game and this side has a horrible habit of losing.

 

[shinboner magic]

Can we kindly leave the forward line coach in wa

Granted we missed a lot of shots today but the lack of movement and gelling together is not good enough.
Zurhaar was invisible again - senior player and does **** all.
He does that in rd 1 - I’d drop him

 

[DuckYeah]

On a positive note.. Kayo worked well with no skipping or buffering..

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Tempted to play Uncle_Leo prediction bingo.

Honestly I’m disgusted with myself I didn’t include

“One behind is a straight kick and we win!”

How embarrassing
