Game Day 2021 Round 1 - North v Port - OFFICIAL Game Day Thread (LMac out, Menadue in, Lazzaro sub)

[The Nostradamus]

We tried to get rid of Polec...

Polec Worst trade of the cam Joyce era

 

[Snake_Baker]

Based on today, I would drop him.

Been one of the main offenders in turning it over.

There would still be 3-4 ahead of him.

It's no accident that Polec looked damaging when we were generating the ball from the contest.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Clearly we don't have the cattle nor the experience, but most disappointed in the intensity drop off since halfway through the 2nd quarter.

 

[amaz199]

If we do get some late ones, it won't paper over what is right now, a very average list when depth is tested.

 

[Liam Boy]

I now understand why Zurhaar and Larkey are best mates.

Both can't get a kick.

terrible effort by them with all the excellent delivery they've been getting all day

 

[Ardent Roo]

Polec Worst trade of the cam Joyce era

Geez that's a Cox Plate type field to choose from when talking about worst trades!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Polec you ******* fraud. His direct opponent at that was butters and he just coasted and never came off his wing.

* that bloke right off.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

I reckon Butters stood in that posiiton for about 10 seconds and no one went to him. Our stoppage structure since quarter time has been really bad, also not helped by the fact that we're no longer winning the ball.

 

[rippersnipper]

It's not that simple.

Port are a very experienced & well drilled midfield that work together to chop players out of the game.

We need Cunners & Jed back.

I disagree tbh. I've watched Paddy Cripps do it by himself at Carlton for years. They'd be 15 goals down and the bloke would still be getting 30 odd touches whilst no one else on his team would be getting near it. Same with Nat Fyfe.

 

[Marstermind]

I now understand why Zurhaar and Larkey are best mates.

Both can't get a kick.

And I suspect both think they're better than they are.

 

[Liam Boy]

good goal, important work by polec and turner there

 

[ChoppyGun]

terrible effort by them with all the excellent delivery they've been getting all day

They've been horrible regardless of the delivery.

Stop making excuses.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Well done Bailey. Keep fighting son.

 

[Devington]

Scott got a nice kick in the head while on the ground before that stoppage, good redemption to go on to kick the goal.

 

[Liam Boy]

They've been horrible regardless of the delivery.

Stop making excuses.

just saying it's ridiculous to single them out

 

[Dingster]

Bailey's done some nice things. Still has a way to go but good signs.

 

[Liam Boy]

junk time but they're not letting port bully them. good sign

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Good finish TT

 

[Chadwiko]

How Tarryn drilled that I have no idea.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Almost overcooked it again.

It's amazing how much better we look when we get it in quick from the midfield.

 

[Liam Boy]

How Tarryn drilled that I have no idea.

the mural has imbued him with magical powers

 

[showusyacunningt]

Never recovered after that Corr non-call push. Dropped our heads and lost confidence and stopped working.

First touch from some of our smalls going forward has killed us, Turner's missed 2 or 3 simple handballs and Mahony, who's usually pretty clean, has fluffed a few. We won't go anywhere unless we clean that up. Might have been a different game if we'd capitalised early and got a 2 or 3 goal break.

First quarter was really good stuff. We're gonna have a few good moments this year with LDU, Stephenson, Jy etc. in the middle, there's some real firepower when it all goes well. I think we'll knock off a good side or two.

 

[SheezNuts]

Lazzaro debut reveal vid has not aged well at all

 

[leighlee13]

How Tarryn drilled that I have no idea.

He should never have won the contest in the first place.

 

[scottywiper]

That rule is for use only against North. Lol
