Understand we had to do something about our list, but with our membership base combined with coming off a COVID year, these performances and the year we are now likely to have, has the potential to destroy this club.
Ehhh LDU torched the footy as much as anyone tonight to be fair.Our disposal & decision making is diabolical.
What is more concerning, is the key offenders are our senior players.
On a side note, is it true that there was very little rain in Qld last week, and that the majority of the floods were actually dew related?

Agree with pretty much all of this.Effort not good enough.
Depth not there.
Some super promising kids.
Corr, Young, Bonar & Jed were terrific.
McKay was good on King, Goldy, & JZ were ok. Powell, I've seen enough, jet.
Lazarro also really impressive.
Larkey was terrible, and it wasn't because of poor delivery. Barely halved a contest all night.
Tyson should not play for NMFC again. Ever.
Atley's been a great servant but must go end of season.
Simpkin needs to lose the baulks for a bit and get back to first option footy. Teams are on to him.
If they bring the 3rd qtr effort each week and lose every game I'll be happy. We're rebuilding from the basement so getting outclassed is gonna happen most weeks but being outworked that badly is not on.
Whoever said we could lose good Friday if we sh*t the bed next week is spot on. We'll get a free pass on the crowd numbers due to COVID bs but rightly or wrongly the AFL are itching to find a reason to take it from us, and a 100 point loss will absolutely restart the narrative.

To be fair, I was taught in school that two negatives make a positive. In that case, there was plenty of positives out there tonightThe negatives are too many to mention
Not just turnovers, and he's not alone in this, but he regularly shanked kicks that made it to the target but then immediately put the recipient under pressure. Won't show up on the stat sheet as a turnover but it's still torchign the footy.4 TO from 21 Disposals.
A 21 year old mid producing that is the least of my concerns.
Hope? Be the biggest shallacking of the two previous games combined. 100pts. To be competitive players need to play in their positions. Now, Im liking Bonar grow into his role, happy for that to continue. JZ (will be out) the experiment is done. Noble cannot possibly persist. Dumbest s**t ive ever ******* witnessed in my life.1st half was as bad as it gets. Lazy, disinterested, dumb football.
2nd half was actually a pretty encouraging response and gives me some hope for next week.

Don't disagree but we have 20 more games. History shows we will likely jag one or two at least.I'm well and truly in the acceptance stage already.
We will likely not win a game this year and that was pretty obvious with how many players we cut and our preseason form. I struggle to see many games where we'll even be genuinely competitive. We've had a handful of competitive quarters in four games, including pre-season.
I still think we cut a couple of players too many and our list management is far from convincing, but that's where we are.
Good news is that things will still get worse most likely as we need to replace Goldy, Ziebell, Cunners and Taz in next couple of years.
The forward line stinks and concerns within the club about the decision to move on Brown seem well founded.
The defensive structure is non existent. GC did training drill stuff at times.
The mids don't chase.
Our disposal is deplorable.
The first half effort was simply abysmal.
We're putting a lot of stock in the likes of Jy and LDU and they should come good, but they have been underwhelming thus far (aside from LDU's first qtr last week). Jy seems to be trying to do too much.
It seems to me our guys look good in pre-season, because they are playing against us.
Tyson is nowhere near it. Waste of a list spot (along with Campbell and Hall). Shows no urgency for a bloke with career on line.
Atley is a horribly underwhelming senior footballer. He played better in second half but he can't make the mistakes he does, every week.
Thomas is class but doesn't do enough, often enough.
Walker is a pure defender.
Zurhaar and Larkey struggling, but playing forward in this team would be like being on death row. You know it's not ending well.
Mahony - goer but needs an elite quality, what is it?
Turner - days since he last kicked a goal? Tries but no impact.
On positive note...
Lazzaro looked good.
Powell shows class. But I refuse to get my hopes up on him as this game always ends in pain at North these days. Fingers crossed he bucks the trend.
McKay and Corr can hold their heads high. As can Young.
Jed cracked in, set an example. But doesn't use it well.
Bonar did well. Maybe try him on ball?
This is the worst North team in 50 years and it's gonna be that way for some time.
Never beaten? Not best year for that slogan.
I just hope we don't waste the draft capital we'll get. The implications of doing that don't bear thinking about.
Agree on forward line. It’s essentially non-existent. A player with the ball running down the ground would have zero possibilities to kick to other than space.A few positives. Bonar played his best game for the club, Jed was hard at it as usual and Young took some good intercept marks.
The negatives are too many to mention, but I will say that our forward line is the worst I can remember in half a century of following our club.
