2nds North Adelaide vs Port Adelaide - Trial Match 1 @ Thebarton

[Black 18]

Based on all the evidence at hand, there's been absolutely no correction or improvement during the pre-season at either level. That is very damning. Nothing seems to be different in a better way, only worse.

Yep, seems that way doesn't it.

Ken is too arrogant to admit his 'ways' are messed up so each year we get talk we have made changes but apart from very small adjustments we keep going the groundhog day route. Keep trying harder and eventually it will all come good.

It's insane, and absolute shame on Koch & co that's it's been allowed to go on.

 

[davo999]

Getting the balance right the challenge this year as last year , with the swag of young developing talls and not many mids .

 

[TazD]

But our pre-season was so strong

 

[JimmyBC]

3 quarter time: Down 84 to 38

Does it feel like a genuine lift the last 10 minutes?

 

[RossFC]

Scully's probably the most exciting prospect we have outside the top 25.

How's Pasini looking and McCallum?

Haven’t seen much of Pasini.

McCallum in our tall defence isn’t playing very deep. Struggling to get up to speed so far, obviously needs time.

Does it feel like a genuine lift the last 10 minutes?

Was a decent direct footy but it could be North taking the foot off the pedal.

 

[OneGreatClub]

3 quarter time: Down 84 to 38

Oh boy, didn’t even know it was on.
Not getting an SANFL pass this year, that’s for sure.

still here.

 

[kgerlach01]

This is as close to the best maggies side there will be this year too

Not really, such as when it comes to the top ups, neither or the Moore Boys, Wildman or Wilson are out there. They'd get picked a head of these young lads we have running around atm. Only ones with league experience out there are Sutcliffe, Weidemann and Aldridge

 

[Ports1870]

Ken and the coaches left at half time. Robbie Gray still here.

Can he leave at half time of the AFL game too?

 

[RossFC]

Mead kicked a goal from 50, but Scully pushed the defender on the line as it went through so its a free kick for North.

 

[Troopsy]

Ken and the coaches left at half time. Robbie Gray still here.

Robbie Gray for next coach

Jk but he would’ve been better than the current potato.

Regarding the trial game why am I not surprised at this result?

 

[JUSTWORK]

Ken and the coaches left at half time. Robbie Gray still here.

This explains the lift in performance

 

[RossFC]

Bit of forward pressure at half forward, North cough it up, Mead gives off to Barkla and he goals from 40 for his 2nd.

Down 91 to 44. 6mins in the last

 

[RossFC]

No.51 hits up Hayes lace out. And he goals from 50.

Down 97 to 51 11mins in the last

 

[Bevoman]

Scully's probably the most exciting prospect we have outside the top 25.

How's Pasini looking and McCallum?

McCallum is 37 (he setup the previous pass to Scully).

 

[Freak Dodgeball Accident]

Thanks for the updates Ross. I just about look forward to reading the running commentary on the Maggie's games more than watching the AFL these days, but this doesn't fill me with much confidence. Scully sounding like a great pick up. How has Williams been?

 

[NoddyHolder]

McCallum is 37 (he setup the previous pass to Scully).

How are you watching this? I thought you were in melbourne

 

[gbear]

But our pre-season was so strong

Scraping the barrel when it comes to Hinkley though, the bar is very low to begin with.

 

[RossFC]

Sinn has played all 4 quarters. Despite them saying he’d only get a half.

 

[RustyCage]

We don’t look ‘too’ bad when we have the ball, but we look horribly average when we don’t. And as usual, bomb it into the forward line and hope for the best

 

[RossFC]

Hugh Jackson hits up Scully on the lead and he goals from 45. He’s got his 3rd.

Down 106 to 58 25mins in the last

Then Scully gets it again and has a great snap at goal for his 4th, but it’s called touched.

 

[RossFC]

FT: Lost 112 to 59.

 

[Rendaw]

Sinn has played all 4 quarters. Despite them saying he’d only get a half.

Did he stand out at all?
