Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 20 - Eagles v North Sun July 30th 4:40pm EST/2:40pm WST (OS)

[Substance]

We've been heavily disadvantaged. We didn't get the chance to play North once, let alone twice

Ignore, I'm just mad the dogs haven't played the eagles for 32 rounds of footy now

 

[PerthBoy86]

When you're that low a win over North at home is a big deal.

 

[BandF]

I genuinely feel so sorry for North supporters.........

 

[CrowToon]

Yep. We'll take our PPs now.

7 years of having the best youth and doing nothing with it suggests they'd be wasted.

 

[ep2018]

Feels brilliant to win but hopefully we shut up shop now.

 

[candyapple]

North will never get such a good run with the umps ever again

I don't

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

They beat us by 5 at home.
We beat them by 5 at home.
Even Steven.

[Coasters7]

Close to the worst season of all time and North are still worse. F*cking lol

 

[Forward Press]

Thank f*** the losing streak is over.

Not that we're in danger of a winning streak either.

 

[BFew]

Eagles still bottom and % is miles behind everyone above them!

 

[naysayer]

It's official, North Melbourne couldn't beat an egg.

 

[srobbo]

Feel sorry for Ratten, that was probably his last chance of coaching a team to a win.

100%. Forget north, that was his death knell. If he had any ambitions to coach again which I highly doubt he does, then he couldn’t lose that.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Hard to believe that this isn't tanking from NM. Must have been instructed at half time to stop.

tanking time

It's official, North Melbourne couldn't beat an egg.

theyd rush a behind and then play kick to kick for 80 minutes

 

[Kangapirate]

I was there in round 1 when these 2 teams played and it was actually a decent quality match, the regression is horrific.

Gotta laugh how we didnt man up in the last 70 seconds, any other team would have had them kicking to a contest immediately.

 

[Rob R]

We could have a draw here, would be a fitting result.

Neither team deserves to win.

Or wants to.

You just mad that the Eagles had the most impressive win this weekend?

hahhaa. Nah. I enjoyed the game. Good close finish.

That's what you do when you're tanking.

Pathetic pressure less first quarter, no effort in the third and still only lost by 5 points - maybe if you'd tried for an extra quarter? ........

I don't think they were tanking, they looked tired. That's not how tanking is done anyway. Players have almost no interest in doing it, it's done by management. Playing players out of position, or benching your best players for longer than necessary.

 

[Roobs321]

Enjoyed that game, contrasting styles, shifts of momentum with a scoring end (crazy that one end went scoreless in the 2nd half!), some tangible tactical moves.

Felt like we lifted across all age bands in that one, no passengers out there. Guys like Maric and Hewett are more impressive by the week. Surely Tim Kelly

gets the BnF now with Barrass missing a couple, think he deserves it most.

Commiserations to North, was yet another gripping well fought game from this round and unfortunately one side had to keep the dreaded streak going, anyone who’d dare rub it in today is a tosser. We fell over the line in the end, had to earn it with no disastrous quarters. Felt like a Grand Final for both clubs. Good luck in the last few rounds!

 

[TheKanga]

I genuinely feel so sorry for North supporters.........

Im not watching anymore this year.
Except for bits of retiring players farewell games.
17 straight losses has had its toll on my mental health tbh.

We need a big cleanout at years end.

 

[JackFlash]

The Harley Reid Cup has now been played and it's all down to percentage at the end of the year.?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Thank f*** the losing streak is over.

Not that we're in danger of a winning streak either.

One in a row is better than none in a row.
