Game Day Norf v Freo @ Etihad 4.40 (EST)

[DMan 11]

Peel v Carlton next week in the tank cup ??

 

[StingBitten]

I came in to this game so calm with no expectations. Now I'm f'ing miserable again. **** Footy.

 

[DMan 11]

Where has Ed Langdon been this qtr ??

 

[Schauermann]

Are you kidding me? I'm far from an optimist but we've shown some nice signs

Can't see them. Looks more like we are getting smashed in this quarter...

 

[Sweetback]

I just cant see where a win is going to come from. We could easily lose next week

We just need to play four quarter footy. Each week we're inching closer to the epiphany.

We've just totally lost the plot! What the **** just happened?

Mostly the clearances. I mean we're ****ing up our back half play a bit, but we were dominating clearances there for a while and really should have come close to taking the game away. But we didn't and now we're chasing tail.

I'm not saying we're showing them this term, but from the 20 minute mark of the 1st til the start of the 4th, we were in the game


Nice acting Waite

 

[Borry]

Well, at least I'm in Darwin getting involved in local sport.

Not a healthy state to be in being a Docker diehard in WA.

 

[YelloMit]

They've just given up. Disgusting.

 

[Schauermann]

btw. North traded for an inconsistent spud in Waite. Now he is averaging 4 goals...

Waite is better than Tabs and Mayne

Wells tried to sit down on a bloke.

 

[Righteo]

Autopsy thread it is!

**** this is disappointing, all the positive vibes from the last two quarters has been sapped.

 

[G Mus]

Hahahah wtf

 

[Simmofreo]

Im just lost for words. How do you be 1 game off a GF last year and become this bad with the same team

Good boy Neale. **** Thomas is a campaigner

This is the downside of playing the kids - they're probably out of puff and with no sub, there's no option to put in fresh legs. Plus the focus on skills rather than pre-season is likely taking a toll. We're out of legs in the 4th - this is something we didn't have an issue with last year.

Having said that, we must persist with Langdon, Weller, and Pearce because we clearly aren't going to be contending this year and they are getting more comfortable at the level with every game. If anything, we need to bring in more players who we see as the future and see if we can reset next year.

How can a north bloke roll over Suban's back and no free??

Not just in the game, the superior side.

In the 2nd quarter, none NONE of their goals came from controlled play on their behalf, they were all lucky breaks and turnovers, while we couldn't turn dominance into a big score. Now you could argue that makes us second best on the day, but what I'm saying is that we controlled play with no where near the return such control should get. Frustrating, but shows that we're not as bad as the scoreboard suggests.

Replace Langdon with every Freo player

 

[se17enteen]

Who's the No.1 draft pick this year?

Don't know but Melbourne will use it on the best young forward in the country to replace Hogan.

 

[mike91]

You cheap dog Lindsay, stop trying to act tough and intimidating, you're a dead set joke to this sport you absolute soft ****. You'd be lucky to make it as a Netballer, dead set dickhead.

Croz is such a crab

Pardon? Aren't we a no excuse team? I whole heartily agree with regard to the kiddies but Tab's, Mayne, Barlow, Suban no excuses.
