Autopsy North lose to Carlton.

[Chadwiko]

The reality is these guys don’t care about us.

Many people would have gone to the game tonight, maybe taking their kids, spending whatever disposable income they have available to support the club.

Picture taken before the first bounce, when I was still in a good mood and my daughter was extremely pumped about her chances of seeing a win today. (She ended up just playing on her iPad for the entirety of the second half and I don't blame her)

Did Clarko say we tried a few different things for centre bounces?

Because the most CBAs for midfielders was:

Q1: LDU, Parker, Powell, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Simpkin
Q2: LDU, Parker, Wardlaw, Powell, Simpkin, Sheezel
Q3: LDU, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Parker, Powell, Simpkin
Q4: LDU, Parker, Sheezel, Simpkin, Wardlaw

Looks like the same guys getting the same results to me.

 

[rickety]

Seriously? You went out of your way to say this was ok? Just summarises how f*cked up this clubs attitude is and you defend it?

Didn't go out of my way mate, can just get why he was happy to kick a nice goal. I even typed it slowly for you this time.

I'd be playing Wardlaw, Parker and Simpkin most in there and seeing if that yields results.

I am at a lost to understand what happened today the Club I have supported for over 50 years looks like a complete disaster
We can’t keep thinking that Clarkson has is what he was at the Hawks.
There must be big changes next week not that it will make a difference
I don’t think I can feel worse than how I feel now

Try not to worry, you've got over 50,357 friends feeling the same, next week we play Port in Adelaide, that will be interesting.

 

[Hazey1977]

My biggest peeve at draft time is the get ‘best available’ crew.

What if the ‘best available’ every year was a ruckman.. do we draft 10 ruckman in 10 years?..

It’s a ****ing stupid idea and because we’ve been busy drafting ‘best available’ mids forever - here we are..

And on today's game, we still picked all the sh*t ones!

 

[heem]

They get to coast along, kicking footies and living the millionaire lifestyle with mates. They have to state something as their rationale, so they state that

It’s a job on great money for guys who wouldn’t get a gig elsewhere on the same. Brady has signed these long contracts to keep and grow the core of the club. Unfortunately those long deals have only turned it into a lazy mediocre flabby core.

Watching the "highlights" reel - knowing how much we are all this guy. I'll buy you your next beer this guy - thanks for turning up.

Nup…..send them all down the road for a visit and preseason boot camp with Mr C Bellamy …that Will sort them out…..see a friendly version below…our current side would s*&$### themselves with his standards



After today’s performance l can’t remember ever walking out of a telecast game at qrt time for the sanctuary of the beer garden for beers and conversations with mates……never to return to the match…the final straw for me…
Needing action not words after that diabolical mess …..

This.

Our club needs to aim to be like the Storm. A very well ran organisation from the top to the bottom. And it filters through with the development of players and wins in the board.

The envy of the rest of the NRL. Everybody hates them because they are successful.

We need to clean out our clubs upper management and start fresh.

They did move LDU to a wing position at the centre circle in the second quarter but the damage was done. He stood like lead boots at the North side of the circle in the first quarter and DeKoneg just murdered the ball away from him to Carlton’s mids

Wat i thought was odd is that the players are so drilled that they must stand there regardless of outcome?

And does that extend across the whole list?

Role playing and structure ahead of any kind of self awareness to initiate a change to make something work?

If it is, we have a problem because problem solving needs to be immediate, not waiting for a message to come from the Bench or at Quarter time

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

They've finally broken me. I no longer have any faith that we'll ever turn this around.

We were actually doing well at that stage only 55 points down .

 

[Hop_lessly Devoted]

It's bleak. I've seen some torrid North times over the decades, but this is mindblowingly bad.

 

[Ichiro #51]

Can someone change the thread title?

The umpires had zero influence on this result.

It’s ****ing embarrassing that it’s lasted this long.

The club needs to get hypnotists in.

Definitely worth a shot!!

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Absolute pack of spuds.
Carlton are shit and still reamed us.
Also sick of being ****ed by the maggots every week

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Hate that. No other marquee games are withdrawn based on performance. Neither should this one.

 

[DarwinRoo]

We lack leaders in every department on and off the field.

How is Chom supposed to feel comfortable and confident if the other two more senior defenders next to him are ****ing terrible?

McKercher should probably be playing twos but because the coaching panel won’t drop him he is going to lose any confidence he has and it’s not his fault.

How is Hardeman supposed to feel a part of a club when he can’t even get a game in a practice match in his home state and then the games he plays he starts as sub.

Pink didn’t set a foot wrong as far as I’m concerned, dropped for a bloke who is half fit and terrible.

We have been poor for a few weeks now and we made one change, one.

 

[jaxsyn]

Hate that. No other marquee games are withdrawn based on performance. Neither should this one.

All this talk about losing the game. Absolutely no reason we should lose this slot. Sell out every year, good tv ratings, both clubs pump it up in the lead up and do great work around the kids and we raise a lot of money.
There is nothing more another team can bring to that side of things.
We have built this fixture up now to a point where results shouldn't matter.
No one's taking Anzac day off those 2 clubs no matter the result
Don't buy in to the media BS

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Genuinely hope we stop existing. Embarrassed.

I am not, and I am personally not in a great head space in and outside of football.

We fought the afl and won. They can keep trying to punish us all they like with crap umpires, media personalities, shit stadium deals, and crap fixtures year after year while they prop up their favourite clubs.

We have been around 150 years. Form is temporary, north is forever.

 

[giantroo]

Anything to worry about here?

 

[Ashley B]

We are still very much a confidence team. Other clubs know that too . Start well against us and currently have a pretty good chance of victory. Start really well then an easy victory generally occurs.

 

[Themanbun]

Anything to worry about here?

Perfect reap

 

[mighty mick]

our zone is so ****ing shit it’s not even funny
