Autopsy I swear there was a patch of footy where we hit like 8 short kicks in a row in the third quarter - Autopsy vs Port Adelaide

I’m bringing 7 ( 4 members & 3 guests) from NSW. That’s as long as I can work out this Bullsh!t members booking system. Could be a record flogging but I get to see it live, can’t wait………. Not.
Three areas of improvement that would see us become vaguely competitive.
Back Six need to work together, almost without exception its one on one and we never have a second defender come in to give a chop out. To busy guarding an opponent while watching a teammate get slaughtered.
When we do win the footy in the backline we just kick it long down the line, this must stop. Short kicks and create an overlap and an emphasis on retaining the footy is desperately needed.
Tackling, the number of missed or ineffectual tackles is an utter embarrassment. Take the arm in the tackle, how hard is it? Every other team seems to be able to do with with great effect.

Hopefully not.
Lol, you seem triggered. take a nap.
To be fair I’ve seen this exact scenario play out in lots of AFL teams and it is 100% on coaching. It is pointless having Larkey that far in defense. If he stays in the goal square you think Port will leave him unattended? Coaches nowadays over coach so much. If you apply any logic to it you must say the full forward stays at full forward. F ‘n’ hell
I think it’s pretty fortunate that next weeks game is on election night, in fact the second half will overlap with the coverage. I’m still gonna get to as many games as I can, * sake remember covid?? Surely the lesson is that if you can you always go, you always do, you always show up if you can. We might be the worst side of the 21st century and we might have to rebuild this rebuild but s**t stopping going to the footy is for Carlton supporters.
still bloody dry here, i sowed some pasture seed 4 weeks ago and it hasnt struck. i want to ram some posts in but ground still to hard, likewise as i want to disc plough some areas.

Agreed mate. We're not on our lonesome in doing this. But we are on our lonesome in how frequently it happens. The Bulldogs for example have a similar defensive press, maybe not quite as defensive, but more so than a lot of other clubs. But they use the wings and have 3-5 outlets rather than 1-2, to buy themselves a little bit of time to allow hook leads and running into a paddock.
We're the only club I've seen this year where we emphasise using the corridor but are structured defensively in a way that means those corridor assaults will more often than not be butchered.
no, its dummer.

Hawks, WC, Syd and Carl are the only games we've been a chance in at half time this year. Bris, Doggies, Cats, Freo and Port it was over by quarter time. 5 games where it was an inevitable result after 30 minutes.
18,24,13,15,16,16,14,9,16 is how many scoring shots we've had each round. That's just over 15 per game.
23,19,41,21,34,36,29,27,30 is how many scoring shots we've had against us each round. That's just under 29 per game.
So we can't go with teams early and make it a contest. We can't generate nearly enough shots on goal to apply scoreboard pressure and we can't defend nearly well enough to make it possible to stay in games we've taken past quarter time.
Funny that our second lowest shots on goal game for the year was against Sydney we stayed in that one for longer than we probably should have based off our accuracy.
How long will it take to bring our offensive numbers up and defensive numbers down. Would be a tiny bit easier to cop a 10 goal loss if we were at least kicking 10+ goals ourselves.

Hey Hojuman, Move over.
I will watch the next North game in Catania Sicily and so I will be the most distant BF North poster.
I won't address the entire post but a couple of things; I didn't think Ziebell was too bad. He was trying to do his job and captain the team. He can't be everywhere at once. He need's some assistance and wasn't getting it because they were too busy chasing their own tails, literally. As for the umpiring, I don't know what you do about that. The Travis Boak holding the ball was idiotic, twice, but you can't say anything. The umpiring situation has gone beyond ridiculous, and smack's of reactions from sulks. If you don't like what goes with it, don't do it.
I will need someone at AFL to explain to me why Sam Powell Pepper was allowed to blatantly interfere with the North ruckman with impunity all day?
Seemed to be a set play the maggots and Power had been working on.

I bet you’d be saying the same thing if they were two white males right? Not just a woman who only just took over.
How the hell did they beat Collingwood?
Making accusations with no evidence, that's a sexiest thing to say, pull your head in.I bet you’d be saying the same thing if they were two white males right? Not just a woman who only just took over.
It did look like a set play. It was pathetic that the umpires just let it go on and on and on and on............
I reckon we looked much better than the score board suggested. To me the skill level seems to have improved. Still a lot of frustrating turnovers, but I reckon most of those were poor decision making rather than outright skill errors. Kicking to the wrong position, 2 on 1 etc.

Clearances:
45 - 68 (North)
Inside 50s
61 - 33 (Port)
So we dominate clearances yet get smashed on uncontested possessions.
Lost disposals by 84 possessions.

Happy to disagree on his output. Never going to be a superstar but hardly our worst in the last fortnight.
Starts from the top!
