But it’s a bit like when the Lions thumped us a month ago. Sure it’s 4 points. Sure it stopped the vultures and Brisbane were claiming they’re back and there’s no issues at the club etc.
But clearly there’s a huge gap between Brisbane & the top sides that didn’t exist last year and beating the...
Being a rabble of easy beats for a number of years didn’t work out too badly for Hawks or Tigers.
There’s more than one way to win a flag.
Geelong stayed up and added parts.
Pies knocked down parts of the wall and bounced right back (bit of luck getting a top 5 player as a F/S but they were...
lol he took the intercept mark fair & square, Kelly came in picked the ball up & then put it on the ground, and then got in the way of the advancing 50. Get a clue
Any reason picking McAuliffe over Hugo Garcia ?
Ross plays kids when they earn their spots (Caminiti, Owens, Phillipou, Wilson). 7 tackles in less than half a game & then 9 in a full game, plenty of CBA.
Sanders going for me most likely to Walsh.
For my downgrade to Garcia trying to pick between Dempsey, Mass, Fisher, Khamis - even Sharp?
Anyone have any thoughts? I’ve gone Dempsey as the Cats are having troops return, Mass got 60 in limited game time so just needs to avoid the vest and...
Biggie either struggled with a knee knock or played the worst game of all time I’ve seen from a KD. His lack of body contact was terrible. Either way it’s a struggle to see him hold his spot. I think
I won’t pretend to know JUH’s situation but when my father passed away unexpectedly (I was in my mid 20s) I had 3 weeks off work.
He died interstate (in a 3rd state to me - parents travelling in Qld but from Tasmania, myself working in SA at the time). First I travelled to be with my mum and...
I love the particular criticism Cornes has here. “In an ideal world”.
This is where the over saturation of footy media is readily apparent. To stay relevant as a media personality, you need to criticise anything less than “ideal”. You can’t just look at this and let it slide. You HAVE to have a...
In fairness, both your sides have much better senior quality (well, Hawthorn did until some trade periods) while I assume North fans you’ve argued with have been talking youth quality.
Yeo, McGovern are both clearly 1 & 2 at North whilst fit. We just all assumed they’d never get fit again...
I don’t know how you can watch the Pies 2nd quarter onslaught and think they aren’t capable of going 17-6/18-5 from here.
Lots of teams can play well for a game yes but they also have a little bit of a badge of honour that I like to call “reigning premier”.
I’d take Pies over Swans.
My...
We are currently as bad as we have been in the past 5 years.
That is saying A LOT.
Never has a team been so incompetent and uncompetitive defensively. And I am sick of young individuals getting blamed - it is just a complete lack of team defence. They’ve all lost one on ones at times but...
Sicily penetrating the “zone” straight down the middle late in the game was comical. You may as well have 22 on the bench at that point (Sheez on field so he can mop up if the opposition *s up of their own accord)
THIS.
It HAS to be the worst team defence in history.
It is incredible. We are so bad at defending. Team wide. With our player deficiency down back we should be a team that never leaves a man alone one on one to cover for the size mismatches but instead it’s not even a one on one, it’s 10m...
The one question I want them to answer is what is so good about Brady Rawlings that makes you think he’s the best person for his job?
If he’s not the one making the calls he’s the one in charge of the person making the calls.
Why were priority picks used on small outside back flankers/wings...
They back themselves in to get the best out by virtue of 39 other players extracting the best out of themselves around him. So they’ll pay for his talent not his performance. Is the logic I’m assuming anyway.
I’m just sick of pea hearts.
Geelong have a 6 zip mid lead by Atkins, Bowes, Bruhn & Parfitt.
Forget the surname, 1) they adhere to team structures 2) are they coachable 3) are they competitive & 4) do they value defence as much as attack?
I have no idea about LDU for 1 & 2 but I’d assume he’s worse than the Geelong...
He’ll be the 3rd to join the free agency bandwagon of players who “got sick of losing” but were also never driven to be better and drive the club to be better as a whole.
1) McKay 2) Zurhaar 3) LDU
Imagine how much better we would be if those 3 took the Chapman/Mooney/Scarlett route of...
2 stand out moments for me were his self anger after Finn (much bigger) outmarked him, game was so over but he still hated being beaten. And esrlier one of his handballs was deflected and went to a Hawthorn player and on a flash he nailed him in a tackle.
essentially every time he finds a target it’s within 40m or it’s a clean handball out of traffic to someone in space.
Receiving North player promptly turns it over.
Wasted.
“But if you don’t have him, the others will just turn it over”.
We are conceding 120 a game ffs. Maybe we need to...
He is our most competitive player. I love him so much. But is is so clear he is wasted where he is.
He’s not a Blakey who genuinely gets the ball going 70m and clears the defence. He is a pin point rebounder. Which is wasted when the campaigners all around him turn it over when they go pin point
