Autopsy Party time - JD300

[Arthur Cloke]

I’ve been milking the hell out this win so far this week, trying to consume as much footy content as possible. The positivity has been like a drug to me. We have to ride this high as supporters and a club because for so long football has not been fun.

I think given Clarko’s measured Presser, he won’t allow the Boys to take their eye of the ball, but the emotion and energy are what really makes it worthwhile.

For me, the first half against Coll last year & the last Q vs Melb are enough nourishment for years. I've watched those 3 quarters 50+ times. And that's no exaggeration. The ball movement & pressure is elite. I can totally understand if the players put the cue in the rack for a few weeks. That level of football is just not possible to replicate on a regular basis.

Any time one of my 81 mates hangs a bit of shlt on NMFC, I quickly point them to those 3 quarters. They soon get it.

I want the rest of the league to fear us again. You're right, we can't maintain that form for every quarter. But, as the season progresses, our form needs to get noticeably closer to the form shown in our last quarter, rather than the form we've shown during the last five years

Im slightly cautious.

As good as we were at center bounce and clearance, the defending in our F50 really was diabolical on close rewatch.

Bordering on complete surrender in the final qtr.

That Zurhaar goal, you basically had 4 Dee defenders let him go in, pick up the ball, waltz around and snap. They all just looked at him.

No dampener, we were very good, outstanding at stoppage.

I don’t think we would have been as efficient against most sides actually putting up a fight though and defending.

I want to see us be very competitive this week to stamp the “we are back”.

In saying that, we were the opposite the week before. That scoreline flattered the Dogs, we were the better team outside of small bursts of poor decisions throughout most the game.

Particularly the first 10 minutes of the first. We absolutely spanked them around the ball and didn’t convert and they banged on some quick goals and took the wind out of us and we chased most of the game.

Yeah that's what happens when you pummel a team into submission, they sort of give up. Happens to us all the time. Personally I don't give a shit, it's the confidence the win will bring us is what counts.

Genuinely think this is going to happen pretty often, given we have more levels to go to with our most ferocious (Wardlaw), potentially our best defensive mid (Urquhart) and also probably our 2nd best kid (BGZ) not even out there.

You just need to lower the bar of expectation there lockheed like NMFC has done for the last 5 years. If you do that, happy days.
I used to go to games really on edge, hoping we'd serve up a dish best served cold. Nowadays, I just go for the gameday experience - I get my face painted, grab a pie, and sing along to the players goal songs. If we play ok, that's cool. If we stink it up, it's all just part of the rebuild, knowing it'll turn (if it hasn't already).

Have watched the second half many times.

Watching from the start again, I’d forgotten how dominant we were in first half of the first quarter.

Could have been five or six goals to zip.

The most watched replay for me.

That last quarter was just a showcase of what this team is capable of when it has the momentum and the sword is right on the enemy's neck.

It didn't need a sugar rush or external pressure. We wanted it more from sheer effort and will mixed in with some elite talent. That's all we can ask for.

Just spent the last week in the bush. with no coverage. What an awesome surprise to come back to !
watched the replay last night and just so good to see the talent being matched with workrate.

LDU, Xerri and Powell just took the piss in the middle. But we were pretty good right across the park. To be honest we were unlucky it was only 10 goals. Hit the post 4 times

a bit more finesse and North will win a lot more often. There will be ups and downs still but at least they know what 4 quarters of effort brings them

anyone not prepared to cough up a second round pick for Daniel now ? he was excellent
