On a side note I'd like for Kelly for not to commentate any of our games....or any for that matter, Hearing her bogan awful voice and getting a lot of stuff wrong is pretty cringe and painful to listen to.
It's like watching the footy and listening to 2 hours of Kath and Kim. God awful.

I’m a traditionalist, I love the ball being bounced, brings an element of randomness to it.. players have to adapt on the fly, it’s a part of the game I’ve embraced.

The other option is they throw it up, like basketball, I’m sure you could get a perfect toss up every time, with the set plays that follow.
I'm a traditionalist too.

I like when umpires arnt egotistical * heads and umpire the game with the same interpretations for both teams.

Should've scored from this.

Looking at it again I reckon Stevo should have given it to Cam when he was in right the middle (sometime in the period 7 - 8 seconds in your vid,) just forward of the centre circle, before he had that bounce. Ideally it would cause whoever is tracking back with Campbell a split second of hesitation and Campbell is 10 m free running into goal or Zurhaar is running thru the square to the top of the 50 with three options - Campbell, Turner (on his right flank) or having a shot on the run.

As it was he came under pressure from the three Adelaide chasers and Zurhaar got the ball under pressure, tho he still really should have kicked it after winning himself some space. That was poor finishing.

Nonetheless the fact they made that happen shows we have the players to make this work.

Noble showing himself as a harder operator than might be apparent.

Says nice things in the presser but how he votes might be an indication something different is said behind closed doors.

Talked up Kayne in the presser, gives his opponent top or close to top votes.

Despite his positive presser talk and our 2.5 quarters of decent effort he hasn't been seduced into handing out many North votes either and rightly so.

The old adage is praise in public and criticise in private.

That play is what you call a coach killer, Slow players leading toward goal. Zurhaar leading towards the ball carriers space.
even if Steveo didn’t give it off earlier, the guys need to learn to lead forward or get out of the damn way to create space or at least keep the field wide.
 
Can absolutely kick a football and has no trouble finding the pill.

I honestly don't know much about him but Kingy rates highly (I know people bag Kingy but he's North like McKernan big time)...........

Just nailed pass after pass whilst we kept stuffing it up - Scott, Turner and co I'm looking at you.

Was a stark difference in execution at the top level.

Looked him up. Pick #64 2018. Craig Sholl nephew. :(

Gotta give it to the crows - then can identify talent.

There's alot we need to learn, lol, but hopefully we have the players to do that. Stevo gets alot of run off the backline thru the corridor so we need to make the most of it.
 
He kept us in the game early. Was really good.

The kicks straight to opposition.

Outbodied by McAdam?

Stupid free gifting a goal?

Jack was Ok and far from our worst but no chance.

Ben McKay had a far better game than Jack.
 
Any thoughts on the warmth of Pastries yesterday?

We‘ve covered everything elseso my lunch being a pastie was warm.

As usual Orange Peanut kept a straight face when I announced “wtf is that ...tartare sauce” as I squeezed it partially over the pastie.

Must remember to pack the spectacles next time.
I too had an, at best, tepid pie......devoured though so that was the upside.

The chips were hot and fresh, the pie less so. Yes, I am a fat campaigner.

12 gamer got 9 votes, but I thought you need to play 50 games to be up to AFL standard?

He’ll be fine. Laird held his knee post bump, suggesting he’d copped a slight knock to it in the bump process, then went off for assessment but it wasn’t a concussion assessment. Media are FoS!
Need you to get a job on the Match Review Panel, TT.....
