Game Day Discussion/Vent Thread Round 16

[Mario Speedwagon]

My main disappointment isn't the loss or even the nature of it...it's the lost opportunity for our kids to experience what would've been a really huge, hyped up match in front of a massive crowd, against The Filth. Probably would've been flogged either way...but still....

Outplayed and out classed. Well played North. Would have been great if we got up, but, at least for this year another lesson learned for the young tiger cubs with nothing riding on the result.

Well played North, Pathetic Richmond.

Lids, Cousins, Connors and Tuck you get the votes today.

I'm at the ground SEAGULLS EVERYWHERE.

There was more seagulls at the game then North supporters.

What's with all these seagulls?!

Very disappointed. Some observations on the game today:

- For those who have been saying Ben Cousins shouldn't have his contract renewed and is too much trouble, time to do an about-face: he single-handedly saved us from what would otherwise have been closer to a 100 point loss.

- Martin, Connors and Riewoldt all pretty good once again, but the rest of the team was very mediocre.

- Vickery and Tambling absolutely hopeless.

- The umpiring, as usual, was atrocious - I genuinely believe the umps have it in for the Tigers for whatever reason. You could tell that towards the end of the game they were almost too scared to make tackles or play body on body, just incase a free went against them.

Having said that, well done North, simply were much better than us on the day in difficult conditions.

And that's it for my very first post/rant.....hey everyone, btw.

what does everyone think will happen to Cotch. i hope he gets off, but i have a feeling he will get a couple

As soon as it happened I thought it was easily 2 weeks (due to him having a clean record). He flexed his muscles and deliberately went for the back of the North player. It was a silly silly thing to do and he will certainly get punished for it

The worst part is that was the turning point of the game. It was pretty much level pegging up until then, then the bump riled the Kanga's up, they kicked a few in a row, we got caught in the headlights for just a few minutes, and that was curtains from that point....2 goals in those conditions is worth about 5 in a normal game.

North played well today. some of our players were poor but we are a bottom team and we cant always play good.

 

[Jisha]

yeah i am hoping with his good record and a early plea it could go back to 1. i hope

We can hope but I would be thinking I am being kinda bias and it might go the other way. The kid did go to hospital which no matter which, way you look at it isn't great for Cotchins case

 

[peejay]

I think he should get off - instant bump - all the damage happened when the weak body hit the ground.

 

[JR#8]

We got smashed badly in the ruck today. Was very disappointed in Graham and Vickery. They just didn't want it enough.

[guruisatiger]

we were very flat today the kangas were sharp and running and spreading.... we were untidy and lacking purpose kangas were clean focused and played well to there plan... another good learning currve for us well done kangas they played very well.. i think the last two weeks have taken a toll emotionaly mentally physically a let down was always on the cards, lets hope for a better effort next week and hope the kangas can knock the blues outta the 8
