Hardiman going out early hurts.

Wardlaw showed why he needs to be in the team whenever he is fit. Just refuses to be beaten. Sheer will dragged us to another few goals today. Showing up some of his more accomplished teammates.

FOS had a bad day but kept trying. Parker and Darling were among our best

Teakles papers stamped today by Trembath. Finally looks like we have hit on a big ugly KPF. 3yr contract immediately please.

Scott sucks. Never again actually.

Bad Zurhaar day. Konstanty had a mare.

If they turn up next year with this guys kicking to no advantage, Combo still not coached out off falling over and losing most contests, every **** missing tackles for fun and the team having numbers on field where they don't actually count.. well the caps have to be spent so it's all good for them I spose. I think i'll be out tho, the consecutive years count is about as valuable to me now as the members pack that I never even got this year.

Teakle, Konstanty, Duursma, Scott - passengers who need to **** off the list (Duurs just to VFL)

Daniel, Zurhaar, Powell, Logue, Pink - just meh and pretty shit

Game play is for the tip

Edit: Powell 11 disposals, **** this campaigner off

Agree with most of that, but I'd defend Pink and even Logue today. It would have sucked being a KPD for us today with how insipid our midfield and flankers were, especially in transition.
 
When will someone at the club come out and state the obvious double standard when it comes to umpiring?

Giantroo could make a feature length film of the calls that go against us and then in the next passage of play are not called against the opposition.

This comp is a total farce while we actively have umpires making calls based on the team and not the actual piece of play.

It’s been said time and time again, the current rules are so grey that umpires can manipulate games whenever they please.

As much as Ross Lyon is a knob, you know he would at least call out the inequality.

The adjudication of the holding the ball today was inconsistently bad and only favoured one team.

If this club remains silent expect it to continue and for us to be an easy target for umpires to impact the contest when they feel like it.
 
Bent over by umps again in key positions and just when we had a little run on. Apparently holding the ball doesn’t apply when we tackle.

Lot of passengers that shouldn’t be playing.

Teakle is a suburban footballer

Logue is a fraud.

Zurhaar disappears for way too long.

Whatever we are trying with Duursma just is not working.

Cooper Harvey on Greene? Really?

Konstanty, invisible.

Bailey Scott should be gone next season.

Hopefully next year we have a better run with injuries and we can have Daniel out of this side.

Some of the young kids showing the way with some effort and anger

And our game plan. The amount of times our opposition simply walk the ball out of defence with no pressure is farcical. I really don’t see what Clarko is trying to achieve.

He’s embedding a decade old gamestyle.

Not fussed if in for Payne
Scott has to be an out

Wilphil having another good vfl game today
Hardeman has to be out with concussion and Scott .

Keep playing Payne and Trembath...In: Curtis and Simpkin..and maybe WilPhill for Konstanty..
 
Finn Callaghan raises a deliberate forearm to fend off Hardemann and concusses him. If it were a North player, three weeks, but I'd almost put money on Christian calling it no case to answer. That would be the 3rd or 4th North player concussed by deliberate actions of the opposition (LDU, Wardlaw...), and none of them have been deemed to have a case to answer. How Christian hasn't been sacked long ago, I'll never know. His inconsistency and bewildering justifications are staggering.
I don't blame Chrisso. He's just a stooge. He's their useful idiot.

The calls go against us because we are shit and get shit umpires.

By all means call a spade a spade with the shit calls but if there really was a grand umpiring conspiracy it would be to our favour IMO because our performances are absolute poison to the league and it's broadcast numbers.

I like Pink but he didn’t mark anything all day which is usually his strength as a defender

Not saying it was his best game or anything. Just saying I wouldn't really single any of the KPDs out today. They were under siege through no fault of their own.

Then how do you explain the same action being a free against North but play on to the opposition.

It didn’t happen once or twice, it was constant throughout the contest.

Geordie Payne was tackled high in open play in our F50 and the umpires just let it go.

It wasn’t even in congestion and with four you can’t tell me all four missed it?

They umpires us that way because we are shit and they think that everything we do is an error and that our opposition don’t make mistakes.

You can be inconsistent and bad, but it’s fishy when all the bad calls only impact one team.
 
If this game has has taught me anything, it's to play more of the young fellas who are hungry for the footy and hungry for a chance. We have too many mature players that obviously feel like they are in no danger of losing their spot and they need to learn. Larkey, Comben and Xerri are the only ones that should feel like that imo.

Additionally, in the off season, we need to do a heap of drills on being clean under pressure. So many times our guys get caught out breaking forward when they expect someone to just simply pick up the ball or catch an easy handball. If we can clean that up we will be in a lot more games.
Spot on and it’s the same deluded people on here who want to drop a young bloke after 1 game,need to send a message to the older players by dropping them when not working hard enough
