Autopsy Preseason Matchup vs Melbourne - Friday 20 February

[chickenonachain]

In fairness we have less rotations in the first sim game of the year. We are obviously gassed.

Which is our own doing

 

[Lomas]

Sorry that’s even worse than watching North play

Just working out where we sit.

Bro… how many best 18 are missing?

Have you ever played at Casey? Cause I have it’s a blustery shit hole, it’s 30+ degrees and it’s the first hit out of the year.

You wanna positive? It’s given mouth breather north supporters something to bitch about.

Luckily it's not blustery or 30+ degrees for Melbourne

The defence is beyond diabolical.

This is nothing to do with preseason, or half hearted efforts etc.

Space out the front of the contest, horrible structure, turgid ball movement.

There’s never been a bigger rip off than Clarko at North and his output vs what we have paid him to date.

He must piss himself laughing when it all sinks in.

He has failed to implement any sort of defensive structure, shape or system in now 3+ years

He should have been ****ed off 18 months ago…

We enter his 4th preseason and are looking down the barrel of 100 point loss to what many are predicting are a bottom 4 side this year.


The spoon is a far higher possibility than 12 wins based on this.

This is a training drill for Melbourne.

Charlie Comben hang your head in shame today.

 

[Lomas]

We are playing 2D chess my friend

 

[SnowRoo]

Well I was hoping we had until round 1. But after today it's easy to say.

The pre season hype and hope are over.

This has been an abomination even for a nothing match.

 

[My Left Foote]

At this point Becker and Blamires will be hoping they don't get the SSP spot.

 

[KangaRooster]

It’ll end up 35+ scoring shots to about 15.

Effort and intent well below standard

 

[SammyRoo]

There was no excuse for Comben just to fall over then other than “pretending to try hard”

But you’re not fooling us you fraud

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

If we were killing them and Melbourne appeared to be trying, I'd be the happiest man in the world. Enough of your disingenuous happy clapping

Exactly I would pumped.

Darling was everywhere in the first half.

4- 5 of our best 23 missing.
Dees have about 3-4 of their best missing. Not a massive difference!

Nup. It's as big a car crash as North but it actually provides some entertainment

Excuse the intrusion. I know it’s only pre-season but you guys have way too much talent for this. I came and posted the same thing after we beat you at Marvel last year - which was probably the most lifeless performance I’ve ever seen by an AFL team.

IMO, the evidence is irrefutable now that Clarkson is to you what Malthouse was at Carlton. You can’t go through a whole season like this - hope you do what is clear needs to happen and go for a first time coach. Lappin, Caracella… plenty of candidates out there. Reckon giving Stewie Dew another go certainly wouldn’t be any worse than what you’re getting now.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

People come at me for my diatribe of absolute sense and now what? We are a *ing joke. There is not one iota of “Shinboner” in this club… hey lets ****in parade around for minorities as a voice of reason… football is secondary, as long as we are a pathway for the Melb Uni womens alumni, who gives a * huh? **** this shit

This comment is why people come at you north have issues on and off the field as our fans know. This does not mean we can’t participate in community and social issues. Keep yelling at clouds.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

someone bump northaholics

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

blamires has been pretty good

We're league leaders at looking less than the sum of our parts, that's for sure.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

It’s 12 scoring shots to 30 against a team with a midfield that have hardly played a game together. Yet they are still slicing to pieces.

I’d love to know what Parker & Darling genuinely think of Clarkson’s coaching.

hmmm at this point MAFS would be much more enjoyable

Here’s me thinking we were shit because of our horrible game plan & terrible skills… turns out it’s because we are too woke!

[domiroo]

Hey North I know it’s just a practice match but GAGF ..

 

[My Left Foote]

Who kicked it in to the centre then? That was a horrible decision.
