Game Day North v Carlton

[Psi-Roos]

Mackay marking over the top of our 3 key defenders should ensure they are all dropped to the VFL

And who do you bring in genius? Maybe the midfielderd could play 2 ways and ease the bombardment.

 

[scottywiper]

I genuinely cannot get over how poor the umpiring has been. It makes the entire sport an unwatchable product.

Amen. Horrible

 

[rickety]

Nice captains kick into space LMac hahahaha

 

[Devington]

there was a 5-10min patch we should've put some scores on. Carlton will be coming in the 3rd.

Yep, we have too many patches of ascendancy where we just don't score, and then we let them score too easily when the wheel turns.

Issues aplenty on display today.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Comben and Finnbar in next week

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Scott been immense holding the defence together.

Simpkin and McDonald mostly unsighted.

Umpiring has been an all time low.

LDU has been pretty terrible. As has the rest of the midfield.

We can barely mark when we have a clean run. They could throw it on the boot and it will be a mark.

CCJ injury has improved our game somewhat. Ford needs to capitalise.

Carlton are much more experienced and it shows. They have removed our weapons from us completely. Looking to see how Clarkson can change gears and make some changes.

 

[Val Keating]

He is the only mid worth putting work into.

Posters who think LDU is unaccountable defensively have obviously never seen Powell ply his trade. He doesn't want to know about chasing, tackling or pressuring...

He’s literally being held like the forwards getting free kicks for it. Annoying.

 

[Spud11]

We’re actually look better with Larkey rucking

Larkey to ruck
Xerri to defence
Mosquito fleet unpredictable chaos ball forward line.

No?
Sorry, that was a bit left field wasn’t it. Also sounds like a coaching move.
Let’s stick to the usual setup and regular 10-15 goal loss.

 

[ansonholt]

Finbar was clunking the sh*te out of then in the Two's today as well.

Was seriously impressive. I haven't seen anything like it since Carey. Seriously.

 

[Rod Stroker]

on the positive side, at least we haven't been blown away, although it still might come

 

[Roosurgence]

Roosurgence ............ummmmmmm.

I did say a hammie.

And let’s be honest the forward line has looked better since Carlton’s 7th Defender went off.

 

[Makeshift Park]

It’s the zero pressure in the middle. They can just walk or run it out with ease

It’s poor

Wardlaw needs help big time. Can't help but feel we need to get Simpkin in there more often to increase accountability.

 

[norfnuffie]

Better second half of the quarter. Starting to think our mids are struggling because they’re held at every contest

 

[Ligma]

THE COMEBACK IS ON.

 

[Only Forwards]

I genuinely cannot get over how poor the umpiring has been. It makes the entire sport an unwatchable product.

It will never get better by adding more voices.

 

[Ligma]

I’m sitting next to sheez’s family, they are so kind

 

[Chadwiko]

Pink stay off the ground we’ll play one less and do better

Can you just give it a ******* rest.

 

[The Law]

I genuinely cannot get over how poor the umpiring has been. It makes the entire sport an unwatchable product.

already terribly inconsistent. Even worse when you're playing against team with protected species (curnow and mckay).

 

[koshari]

Well all things being equal being pummelled in the midfield with a pair of coleman medalists up against a 3rd gamer and a 3rd tier backman suprisingly low margin.

 

[The Dougster]

Scott has been great

Just a standard game for Bailey. Good footballer

 

[JGreezy]

Can we bring in Maley & Sellers? I don't have much confidence in our contested marking.

 

[r_boy]

Looked a little better in the last 10 minutes of the 2nd there.

Margin should probably be more than 5 goals, which in the modern game can be erased pretty quickly with a purple patch.

Please turn up after half time

They are too psychologically fragile for that.

When the opposition get a run on we just give away frees and stop communicating under pressure. Teams get run ons in modern footy keep your head in the game!

After that the pressure drops off and it all spirals from there and suddenly they look disinterested only 20-30 points down.

Any other team would be licking their lips but not us.

 

[KekiRoo]

38 points conceded from turnovers...

 

[krakouers]

I’m sitting next to sheez’s family, they are so kind

Say hi from us

 

[Only Forwards]

9 shots to 18.

We are barely hanging on.
