Game Day NORTH VS SAINTS (Round 1, FIGHT!)

[Dirty_11]

Last day of footy for the next few months it would appear. Shutdown and state border closures imminent.

Honestly not mad about it based on the first half.

Are your Skins mates now Saints supporters?

Good year to be bottom 4 in all honesty.

The media won’t be all over our crowd numbers, is only 17 games etc

How does a one-game season work? Can we get pick one??? LOL
I do love round one...you'd think everyone on here would be ultra cautious but every year all the usual types talk top four, blazing starts, etc, and every year we come out looking like an amateur team.
At least this is better than last year??? Maybe???

 

[Snake_Baker]

We've done a really job of keeping Hill quiet. As a quality player as soon as he gets a few spare metres he's killed us.

Yeah, Atley has done well. A couple of time Hill got the footy because Shaun had to come off and meet the loose advancing player.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Problem 1: Maj out.
Problem 2: Murphy in for Maj.
Problem 3. Polec misses the unmissable.
Problem 4. Walker goes down.
Problem 5. We’re not tackling.

There’s your game.

Problem 6. We’re not particularly good

 

[zoomba23]

Trust Maj to get a cold right when we ******* need him. Murphy is a piss poor replacement for what Maj gives us. Bloke is barely VFL standard

 

[Cool Kangas]

I actually think this has something to with cunners new hair

 

[Reginald0]

I don’t buy that the players aren’t good enough. This list under his coach smashed in for the second part of last year, hurt and soundly beat some very good teams as well as ordinary ones.

I agree BUT we are just totally unable to handle Pressure
We cannot keep Pressure On, and we can’t handle it when we are under the pump
Because our Good players cannot keep up with their opponents
bring in anyone who will play 100% for 4 Qtrs

 

[Only Forwards]

If we lose big and they shut the season we may spend the longest amount of time in, 18th we ever have.

 

[Jasemon]

Surely Polec has been given an injection in his ankle or foot or whatever he’s been having issues with. His kicking and decision making have been shocking. Our highest paid player. The missed goal from 15 metres out was a death knell. In saying that we’re being smashed in physicality, tackling and desire to work up the ground across the board so our entire team needs to pull its finger out. Our leadership gone missing again and still, year after year we seem unable to coach or recruit players with kicking skills. This is painful to watch. Apologies to those who think I’m being a little negative.

 

[winalotroos]

Lads, Rhyce has inside word. Season called off after this week. We get thumped here. Melbourne thumped in Perth. Picks 1 and 2

that’s the way think of the positive

 

[Snake_Baker]

Put Ahern, Simpkin, Hall, Zurhaar and Thomas in the midfield and see if they can give us something different. Getting smashed in effective clearances, and our mids are giving no decent supply to our forwards.

The link up to get clear has been noticeably bad, and it's not as if the Saints mids are applying extraordinary pressure either, we have been the major contributor to this with poor in close disposal.

 

[Waussie]

Dwayne Russell is actively barracking for StKilda!

Polec, Simpkin, Tarrant, Goldy, MacMillan & Dumont playing well, although Polec's current DE% is horrid (44%).

Our skills under pressure have been the difference. They are terrible.

Hall, Ahern, Ziebell, Thomas & Anderson have all been poor. Cunnington 2 clearances. All must lift.

Our defense is getting hammered because our mids are s**t. They need to lift

 

[arden station]

40 turnovers in a shortened half of footy - special mentions to Polec and Ziebell. Lucky that fumbles aren't counted as a stat - special mention Higgins. Just 6 tackles inside forward 50 and completely uncompetitive at ground level - special mention to our recruiting department from the last 5 years for barely selecting a small forward and the match committee for thinking 6 x 189cm+ forwards can win games of footy.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Everything our players touch turn to shite.
The anti Midas touch

 

[Event Horizon]

I changed my mind. I want this season cancelled immediately due to the Corona Virus.

Somebody here said that LMac pushed Membrey into tunnelling Josh Walker. That didn't happen. Not saying Membrey deliberately took Walker out, but it was on him, not on LMac.

 

[Dirty_11]

Sat down with the family to watch the game. Half way through the second quarter the missus has gone for a nap, my son has gone to the other room to play Call Of Duty and the girls are outside playing netball. Well done North, great start to get your supporters up and about.

Shut the season down corona everyone

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The link up to get clear has been noticeably bad, and it's not as if the Saints mids are applying extraordinary pressure either, we have been the major contributor to this with poor in close disposal.

And fumbles.

If that were a stat, we’d blow Champion Data up.

 

[scottywiper]

Does Marley's suspension run into next year?

 

[Roosurgence]

We are such an easy team to play against. Clog our F50 bring the ball to ground and then spread hard forward.

All smart teams do it against us, we don’t set up well behind the ball and we don’t chase hard back.

 

[tazaa]

I hope Rhys understands that the members would rather see a pandemic enforced shut down enforced rather than watch the team play.

The players have had the piss taken out of him.
“Rhysie this and Rhysie that”. Good bloke is Shawry.
They have dead set taken the mickey out of him.

Our leaders talk the talk well.
You can thank Brad and Heath for that.
And they never deliver until the sky is falling event takes plays such as a round 1 touch up.
And then they respond in Round 2.
Cause that’s what Ziebs and Cunners and Jamie are good at.
Reactive responses.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Our defense is getting hammered because our mids are s**t. They need to lift

Same old.

Watch them line up to blame McDonald & MacMillan after the match though. Put your house on it.

 

[DesertRoo]

Hahahha, just watched them doing warm ups on tv and half of them are pulling up short, just going thru the motions.

no standards..

 

[rm3504]

Not much new. Kick down the line to a pack. Not enough spread. They are running out off HB. We have a HB line of LMac JMac Atley Murphy. Wouldn’t get a game in any other team. Should of got a new mid coach too.

The half backs and midfield is where all good teams dash, flair and skill come from
I’ve said for ages we are awful in both areas
