Kangaroos game post-match discussion

[davey_magik]

If you're not disappointed with the game, then you're accepting mediocrity. The game was shocking for both sides - with terrible skill errors. How many times was the ball turned over in the midfield, or marks dropped? Both sides have a long way to go on yesterday's display. Do you think either team would have got anywhere near Geelong?

North wasn't full strength either - Hamish McIntosh is 1st ruck, almost AA last year, Aaron Edwards broken leg, Jesse Smith in our top 5 players, Jess Sinclair not played a game this year, Nathan Thompson, Andrew Swallow.

Injuries don't explain why the skills were atrocious yesterday.

Agree with most of what you said, except you can't say Thompson out isn't full strength.

He was dropped due to form reasons.

Brent Harvey - cheating crunt.

Brent Harvey - cheating crunt.

I love that. Simple, but to the point, and of course, correct.

Green, Wonaeamirri and Wheatley are all 50/50 chances to return apparently.

Dunn will probably accept the reprimand so it might be a struggle for the match committee to find three people to drop.

Daniel Bell would be one, Maric could be unlucky and perhaps Sylvia or Newton?

I'd like to see them bring in White and use him as a full time forward, he's always been pretty good with set shots and has a great leap. Leave Jamar and Johnson to develop their ruck work, I reckon White could be pretty good up forward and might be good for us to try something different up forward.

Not a bad idea! We need some size up forward.

I like the above idea of playing white as a forward, playing him in a role like Newton today, except with more effort...
Newton and Bell should go out, White and Green should come in.

I would just like to mention that if it wasn't for matthew whelan I'm not sure I'd keep coming to melbourne games, matthew whelan deserves to be around next year, he is the hardest player at melbourne, some of the hits he did on sunday were spectacular.

Yep agree with Whelan. When he came back in our defence looked 1000 times better.

PS: Listened on the radio, was happy to see Buckley being productive again. Hes got a lot of grunt that kid, hopefully he can work on his flaws over the pre season and have a massive 09.
