Game Day Thread: Melbourne V North

[jamespssmith]

good challenge by Melbourne, all I could ask for - North should win now though

 

[jamespssmith]

yeah such a bad record at Etihad - we only play there once more this year thank god; don't want to make excuses but it's such a crap stadium. and besides, i think the mcg just suits our style and one looks forward to next week lol well done north.

 

[ptrg]

umpires have been Kobe'ing us in the last 10 minutes!?!
We weren't gonna win, but geezus!
How were ANY of those frees there in their fwd 50!?

 

[pezz]

I remember this feeling

well done North

 

[jamespssmith]

I remember this feeling

lol. its so shallow after that third quarter lol

Unfortunately the game played out exactly how I thought it would. Something about North and Etihad...

Was never confident about this week but think we're a show against the Dogs Friday night. Back on the G!!!!

2nd quarter ultimately cost us. Least we didn't lie down I guess. Still pretty insipid.

Only player to really impress me was Jamie Bennell.

Absolutely SHITHOUSE call to drop McKenzie.. What happened to rewarding a team that keeps on winning? Rivers was a ghost.. (THis is pressuming McK was fit...)

 

[Deelighted]

We're going to be a bit up and down this year but that was bad, we showed how well we can play in the 3rd then dropped off again in the last

Miller and Cheney back in next week .... hopefully also Bail and McKenzie!!

North did what we should be doing ...

Yeah the game would have really suited McKenzie's style of play hopefully he isn't injured and is back in the team next week.

Pretty boring game overall, skills were average for the most part and I thought there were some rather 'interesting' umpiring decisions going both ways.

 

[pezz]

McKenzie out with general soreness will play next week.

Ricky bobby could be out for months FML

Hardly a surprise. North are our bogey side. I fancy our chances against the top sides more than against North. Might be the reality check we need.

Might be the reality check we need.

Hope so mate. Lets see if we can come back hard against the Doggies.

Damn you bandwagoners. Anyone else reckon the umpiring was pretty terrible in the fourth quarter?

Not sure. They played in front, and tackled like they meant it ... which often = more frees. We certainly got caught (out) more than a few times.

So this is what it feels like to lose. It's seems so weird after 3 wins on the trot.

A few shocking free kicks against Jamar and Joel Mac in the last quartar but overall completely outplayed and probably left our run a tad late in the third. Bobby Petterd might have done a shoulder aswell. But Sully and Trengove just get better and better although i think Scully did a few more better things this time around.

The ground didn't really do our running style any good at all.........reality check.
