Game Day North Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs - Rd 5 2022

[jdz101]

English next step has been a real positive this year.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Still 2 KPps short with JUH and O'Brien offering virtually nothing

English next step has been a real positive this year.

Just need adequate support for him.

 

[Testekill]

O'Brien has been sadly pretty poo. I know he's not a key defender but he doesn't offer any one v one defence.

They need to write in the boldest font imaginable, in the reddest Lamb's blood they can find on the change room walls "Don't handball to a player who has half the opposition team wrapped around him".

 

[MJG14]

Brutal from Naughton!

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Bloody hell Nauts

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Have the Dogs gotten one in the back free the entire game? North players just dumped into our blokes twice in the back without penalty before that Naughton goal just now

 

[glenashley]

JUH hasn't been great but I count at least 2 shocking passes to him inside 50 where he would have marked and had a shot on goal.

 

[jdz101]

O'Brien has been sadly pretty poo. I know he's not a key defender but he doesn't offer any one v one defence.

Dropped that mark in the square and was punished by larkey straight away

 

[Chicago1]

I just wish that we would put them away kind of like last year.

 

[ExRoyboy]

Why do we now have Naughton, Bont and English on the bench at the same time? That is stupid!! Leave Naughton out there

 

[_Mike_]

19 to 13 frees in favour of Norf. #freekickbulldogs

 

[doggie dog]

Lovin 13.4 instead of 4.13

 

[The Inbetweener]

Lol Dunkley has to be kidding with that kick

 

[Chicago1]

Libba being Libba Ain't it great!

 

[threenewpadlocks]

It's kind of an indictment on the rest of our forward line quality that Wallis can be both as slow and as poor of a field kick he is, but still look better than some of our players' output this year

 

[BrunswickDog]

What happened with Garcia?

 

[footscray1973]

Can anyone please summarise the quarter for me in 10 words (or less), or alternatively as a haiku? Cheers.

 

[Testekill]

What happened with Garcia?

Knee injury reportedly.

 

[BrunswickDog]

Knee injury reportedly.

Hopefully not serious

 

[Erect]

Can anyone please summarise the quarter for me in 10 words (or less), or alternatively as a haiku? Cheers.

Winning, kicking straight, but still have room for improvement

 

[jdz101]

oh noes...macrae

 

[Freshwater]

Weightman is totally frustrating me with his antics. Love his enthusiasm but hate players playing for frees.

 

[ExRoyboy]

And that’s where you have to man the mark properly when it’s getting close to the 50m line. We had three players just turn and run away from the man which meant he didn’t have to even go back to take his kick and that doesn’t help our defenders at all. Just a stupid strategy at that point of the ground. If we are going to use that as a tactic we have to be smarter with where to do it
