Duckwood over shoulder...free kick there boys
Didn't BT say it was there and should have been payed? And then when Selwood got his, drove the point home that the player with the ball can do whatever the **** they want because the onus is on the tackler to not infringe.

He did. BT seemed to be going out of his way to be good (ie fair) to Thomas tonight.

Nah that campaigner Darce.

I dunno.

I was ******* emotional at the time for not getting the free and typed any shit on the Samsung 6.

My Sunday just became a whole lot clearer not having the slightest interest in watching any of the footy related shows.

Maybe just keep an eye on the GWS v COLA game. Become a Dutchman for a day and wear something with a little orange in it T.T. :)

Dunno. It was one of the ABC staffers. He went on to ask "what does that say about them?" Bartel responded "it reinforces how even the competition is this year and if you're even a little bit off you'll get beaten, as has happened to us this season."

They used to have a show featuring a couple of comedians - Adam Rozenbachs was one of them, from memory. Could have been that show? I hope....

Robbos likes and dislikes

Likes albeit about Dangerfield

Clearly the best game of his career, which prompted the question: What was the second-best game? It had to be Round 1 v Hawthorn, when he had 43, five tackles and seven clearances. On Saturday night it was 48 disposals, 13 marks, 13 clearances and 11 inside 50s. In fact, it was one of the best games played by any midfielder in recent memory.

Was too brilliant for North in the first half, had Sam Gibson for a period in the second half, and when he didn’t, he continued to find the ball. Funny thing is Dangerfield and Joel Selwood dominated the first half, yet the Cats trailed by 10 points at the main break. After that, North ran out of genuine midfield bodies.


Dislikes


7. Grand statements on North Melbourne

They were always going to come if they lost to the big boys, such as Sydney and now Geelong, but perspective after Saturday night is needed. Andrew Swallow sat early with concussion, Ben Cunnington couldn’t run, Nick Dal Santo was sore in the groin, Shaun Atley had an ankle and Robbie Nahas had a bone sticking out of his finger at one stage.

They led at halftime, challenged through the third quarter and couldn’t sustain it. Missed Jacobs who would have had Selwood so it ended up being the perfect storm for the Kangas. Problem now is patching up ahead of Hawthorn this week.

8. Worried for Nahas

Been solid with Shaun Higgins out, and others, but on Friday night he couldn’t impact as the small forward. Fumbled, pressure was misplaced, and just three possessions, albeit with a finger injury, will have coach Brad Scott considering whether he deserves to go again.

Robbo unusually on the money here.

I haven't gone out looking for media, but from what I have seen the comments have been fair, recognising the "duress" the other night and not reaching any conclusions about what it proves about North (just that Geelong played very well, which they did).
