Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11: Succession plans and other lols

[Thrillthorpe7]

They should be paying even more kicks not 15 I agree

The rule is more inconsistent than ever though and they’re still paying plenty of 8 metre kicks. Absolutely zero leeway either and pinging teams for 50 when they touch a player after an 8 metre kick.

Reid just gave the finger to the crowd

I reckon north will start being good again pretty soon. Have all the pieces to be competitive, won’t be long before they work out nuances of their game.

They can't afford not to be.

Midfield is good, forward line mostly good, if they can land a quality KPD they'll be alright.

 

[Drummond]

Reid spends half the time complaining.

List is too imbalanced. Huge spend on the midfield which is pushing top picks out to flanks, while their forward line and defense is poor with little talent coming through

 

[Moonwatcher]

North competitive too. Might be a short era where all teams are good but not great.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Would we take Goodwin if he became available? Assistant coach?

Don’t disagree that they overspent on the midfield but it will be the best in the league within a couple years.

Forward line is not that bad but need a long term replacement for Darking.

Back line a worry and will cost them games but they’ll dangerous team to play

So when he told Goldstein where to go that was just sore legs? Come off it, JHF attitude was poor at North it was clear to anyone watching, his give up attitude was blasted on multiple footy shows that year too.

Yeh, it was him with the problem.

Maybe they should target Leek Aleer.

 

[1970crow]

North treated him poor as well.

He came to Adelaide without them knowing because he lived in a hotel room by himself.

No host family. No support around him.

18 year old kid living alone is tough.

North were an absolute rabble led by idiots. No surprise a kid geared to win fell out at that craphole.

 

[GROTTO]

Crows will remain 2nd on the ladder, after R2.

The neighbours are currently 9th, can drop further, depending on results this arvo.

 

[1970crow]

The was a kick to Tex (I think) i50 yesterday that was under 15. No one even brought it up. Then there were a handful of 15-20 meter kicks in D50 that were called play on. They've obviously been told to call play on for D50 kicks under 20 meters, which is so ****ing stupid.

I wouldn’t mind that as an actual rule change but it could cause confusion. It’s 15m if the marker is inside their 50m area but 20m everywhere else.

 

[footy4ever]

Umm, this isn't the North Melbourne I was hoping we'd play against next week.

 

[FR0GGY]

Charlie comben looks a unit

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Umm, this isn't the North Melbourne I was hoping we'd play against next week.

The Eagles taking it right up to Brisbane today, and Richmond last week shows that no one can be taken lightly.

We should win, obviously, but North actually look a lot more competitive now.

 

[Geoffa32]

Umm, this isn't the North Melbourne I was hoping we'd play against next week.

I would rather see where we are truly at.

Be good if North are decent.

North have never won a game at Adelaide Oval

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

North have never won a game at Adelaide Oval

And they haven't beaten us in Adelaide since 2003. I think it was the game when Carey scored a GOTY contender from the boundary.

 

[footy4ever]

North have never won a game at Adelaide Oval

That's not a good thing. The probability of winning one increases every time they lose here

The best midfield in the league ?? Steady on.

Keeping LDU is super important

Wont be next week

And Saints yesterday.
