Play Nice Bye bye Brad

[Mr. Blonde]

If it wasnt for Boomer (again) and S.Thompson we would have lost the game, simple. Nothing about Scott's coaching performance last night contributed to the win. 29 points sounds ok but the reality was very different I think most people with half a brain would agree.

Correct. People with only half a brain would agree with you Jack.

Oh you are soooo funny, keep being a fantasist/denialist then.........

So you say NOTHING about Scott's coaching performance contributed to the win, and yet I'm in denial? Interesting.

Winning any game while we are flat is a good result. They made it a scrap in the 1st half. Heaping the blame onto Scott for every result is like blaming the umpires for a loss - there should be more accountability placed on the players. Coach - umps etc are just excuses as most supporters don't like going after the players.

We need to win 2 of our next 4.

Yes its frightening how much we rely on our oldest player. The 29 points flattered us. Hope internally we aren't patting ourselves on the back saying we have turned the corner. My hope for next week.

1. Don't play any injured/sick players.
2. Levi to start (assuming he is selected).
3. Keep Petrie back in the forward 50. When we get a back 50 clearance we have someone to kick to.

Essentially, North either doesn't have a top 4 playing list or a top 4 coach - because we are certainly not playing like a top 4 side. So are you saying the coach is doing a good job but the playing list is not very good?

We are 5-7 in 2014. That is where I think our list is at.

Too many people put too much emphasis on role of the coach. Pagan at Blues and Roos at Melbourne. The players can make a good coach look ordinary.

We are turning into Richmond supporters with all this sack Scott rubbish.

There is no doubt that bad players can make a good coach look ordinary - but a bad coach can make good players look ordinary - think Schimmelbusch at North or Thomas at St Kilda. We do not want to miss our window with a coach who is unable to take us to the next level.

Shimma was stiff - 93 was a break out year for Carey, Stevens, Schwass. Martyn and Longmire. Archer joined in 92. If he stayed on in 93 things could have been different.

Oh, and Hansen was crap. Drop him forever.

Fixed it for ya!

Turn it up...we lost to Adelaide by about 25 goals.

He must have been very unlucky indeed - Pagan took almost the exact same list from 4th last to 3rd in a year...that is VERY bad luck!

The greatest player of all time exploded. Plus all the others that were coming into their 5th year.

Don't tell port fans about blaming umpires, they still believe its a conspiracy.

 

[ozzyoslo]

I thought the most interesting comment post game was......we kicked over a 100 points and still lost the game quite often last year.
The force is swaying to defensive nth.

Oh so many times this.

 

[Wild Bill]

He got the massive $$$ to go to the Blues and without a Carey was putrid.

"NICK Dal Santo blames poor form for North Melbourne's uncharacteristic low-scoring start to 2014, dismissing suggestions the Roos are struggling to adapt to a new game plan."

 

[ozzyoslo]

What media people were potting Boomer.......he had someone in mind.

Yeh nah...the draft penalties saw him knackered from Day 1....Digby Morell?

I'd have to say that was unlikely, given the totally inept performance in the NAB game vs Adelaide that triggered Schimma's axeing.

This. I actually wouldn't of cared if we lost. More heat on Brad Scott. The quicker he's gone, the better. Blind supporters gunna hate.
