Game Day Round 1 and a 1/2 - NMFC v Dogs - 7.35pm @ Marvellous Stadium

[chickenonachain]

Game on the line at the start of the last it took all of about 20 seconds to snuff us out

 

[Caracas]

Im fairness, Zurhaar cost us the game,

 

[spurs]

Not up to standard again

 

[Nylex]

Jy Simpkin was very good… Jacob Konstanty was good.. Darling played his role… not much else was different to last year

 

[archereleven]

The club is trapped in a pit of shitfulness and will struggle to ever come up for air.

You just know if we ever put it all together and rip a good side to pieces, we will lose horribly the week after to quell any confidence and it will be business as usual.

Comben was a liability. Directly responsible for a few of their goals. Just looked brain dead.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Ultimately, we are our own worst enemies.

Had our opportunities in front of goal and we shit the bed far too easily.

Big Negatives:

Defensive transition and spread from the contest is a shambles.

Defensive zone is a shambles.

Kicking inside forward 50 is a shambles.

Comben. **** me.

Logue injury. Any chance of continuity for him?

Positives:

Clearance work was good, but we didn’t capitalise on it.

FOS showed plenty.

Powell & Simpkin were really good. X sets the standard.

Scott was solid.

Konstanty and RHJ showed plenty.

The oldies in Darling, Parker and Daniel showed their worth.

 

[Dinkers]

Jy Simpkin was very good… Jacob Konstanty was good.. Darling played his role… not much else was different to last year

Hansen was good thought he added some fun to our side. Was clean and quick of mind

 

[footy2016]

How bad did the comben injury look? Was at the game saw him on the bench that was it.

 

[NMFC49]

Positive: lot closer than last time we played them

Negative: half of their side is VFL

LDU playing as if he's already out the door.

He is out the door.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Im fairness, Zurhaar cost us the game,

Comben moreso. But yeah. heck Cam is a selfish mofo.

 

[Caracas]

First 5 minutes of every single quarter put us behind the eight ball. We need to address out starts big time.

Jy was very good? He absolutely butchered the ball time and again.

 

[Roosurgence]

Im fairness, Zurhaar cost us the game,

Stop potting Zurhaar he busted his arse all night to get to contest and just didn’t finish his work.

Have a look at everyone’s lovechild McKercher trailing his opponent and doing two tents of **** all for the game.

But let’s have a crack at the bloke busting his arse instead of the ones jogging along.

Makes a nice change from having to address our endings

[Mcarcherey]

Take out the first quarter and we easily win. Disappointing we didn't put then to the sword but hopefully this gives them a bit of belief.

Why ? He’s half the problem then . Just come out and say I’m going . Then sit him in the reserves for the entire year. We’ll get good compensation.

 

[archereleven]

Im fairness, Zurhaar cost us the game,

The thing is, he played a pretty good game but shanked it in front of goal.

1.4 and 1 oof.

Just ****ing poor and we have 5 x years of his shit to watch.

[Roosurgence]

The kid put his head over the ball.
If Archer did that you’d be lauding him.

He went to ground, it might be brave but it’s ****ing stupid.

The rules are meant to be there to encourage players to keep their feet, not to go to ground trying to draw frees.

Couldn’t they make the same argument for the second quarter?

They finished +9 inside 50’s on us with a depleted side.

 

[Caracas]

TOD’s pre-game assessment could not have been more on the money.

 

[zoomba23]

He went to ground, it might be brave but it’s ****ing stupid.

Well they're not working very well then. Because roughly 40% of the players in the comp are going to ground trying to draw frees

Another day, he scores five. It’s very frustrating.

 

[NMFC49]

Approaching at speed, you could see he tried to pull up when he realised he wasn't going to make the contest, but they fell down in front of him and it was too late.

Logic would say he's fine.

But it's the AFL

We were lucky to get that close tonight. Disposal skills, no improvement. Honestly, Clarko needs to harden up. I'm over this hug and love culture. If you play a poor game, You're dropped. Start with LDU to send the message. FFS, Barassi dropped Blight. It's time this group of players start to realise they are not automatic selections.
