So you grin and bear it?

I like you mate, but that sh*t is for losers. It's Brad Scott 101, and it needs to end.

Would Pagan put up with it? Would Barassi? Join the dots.
If you think Rhyce Shaw is a Barassi/Pagan-esque aggro type, then your eyes have been seeing something different to the rest of us over the past year. He is not one to blame the umps for our shit performances, nor is he the type to get fired up about a mistake, whether that is by an umpire or a player. That is the style of Shaw, for better or for worse. Feel free to take up coaching and replace him if you think he goes about it the wrong way.

We played woefully, and to be honest were lucky to really be that close in the end. You can't play like dogshit for three quarters of a game and expect to come away with the win. There were some ****ing awful umpire calls, absolutely, but teams should be able to win in spite of the umpires. We weren't good enough today, and we deserve every criticism that we get.
 
Don’t play Xerri or Campbell forward ffs, they’re RUCKMAN. Nothing against Xerri, he did the best he could and I am sure his time will come to play in his preferred role. But playing him as a permanent forward is insane.
We have tried playing two rucks in the past, other sides have tried it and it just doesn’t work.
When you take into account the shorter quarters and that Goldy has an incredible aerobic capacity, it is even more insane.

Again, we're not playing X as a ruckman. Just as Hawthorn aren't playing McEvoy as a ruckman.

Did you not see any of our footage from 1) the pre-season, 2) intra club games, 3) Marsh series? X played predominantly as a forward in all of those and did alright, showed a bit. As he did tonight.
 
The players did us over too, Snake. Forward of the ball movement was stagnant for half of the game. We constantly held ourselves up and allowed the Hawk's defensive structures to reinforce.

They were put on the back foot by the disgraceful umpiring.

You don't think this causes players to react apprehensively?!! You don't think the causes the beneficiaries to grow a leg in confidence?!! Surely not?!!

It's a massively underrated aspect of game analysis.
 
Upon further investigation it appears I may have been influenced by a bottle of McGuigans Black Label Sav Blanc. Still think he was ordinary but acknowledge some (not all) disagree with me.
He was no where near as bad as you’re making him out to be Mrs Jessup. Give up the drink. :stern look

Big J.Brown referred to him tonight as the best key back in the game.

I’ll put a $100 on he doesn’t make the AA Team if he keeps his form up for the year.

Just look at the spuds on the AA selection committee, they love their shiny new toys or old favourites.

In fact if the season stopped now the same gimps would have Gawn and Grundy ahead of Goldy.

1) If he isn't then he should pack his bags and **** off now.
2) Anyone who claims to speak for "us", is a suspect judge.
 
A few poor disposals aside, I thought he was one of our best. The defenders were really under the pump tonight. Macca, Taz & Walker all saved us from being down by 9 goal at 3/4 time.
One passage of play in particular where he went back with the flight of the ball to mark it was pretty courageous.
I think he’s had a half decent season so far.

Beard good too.
I'd drop McDonald for that shithouse handball to Walker who had three Hawks next to him.

65 more possessions and 12 less inside 50s. Took the game on only when we had nothing to lose. It was a dire performance in yet another dire 2020 match.

We had a third of our inside 50s for the night in the last 10 minutes. That's ridiculous.
 
1) If he isn't then he should pack his bags and fu** off now.
2) Anyone who claims to speak for "us", is a suspect judge.
1. Ok. Give him a call and tell him if you feel that way. Throwing tantrums isn't going to change his coaching style or his personality.
2. I'm speaking for 'us' because anyone with eyes knows that Shaw is as laid back as they come. It comes across in training videos, interviews, shots of him in the coach's box. He only ever has one look on his face, a look of mild interest. There's none of the phone-smashing, expletive ridden crap of Brad Scott. The man is level-headed, rational, but above all, relaxed. If you seriously think that Shaw is anything but laid back, you clearly haven't been watching the team.

Jesus, Goldy is firing.

Dean Cox had 94 clearances and 244 contested possessions in 25 matches in his best season of 2011.

Goldstein has 34 and 49 in 4 matches. He'll just about outpoint him in 17 matches.

Wow! McDonald was one of the few who kept us in it and your are dropping him for one mistake?

By your logic we will have to field a team from those who played the scratch match. Every single player on that ground ****ed something up.

You cannot be serious. The bloke played a superb game, both offensively and defensively, and yet people are saying drop him because of one error. The hate boners for certain players on here are just laughable.
 
No.

But sure, stay fixated on the umpiring and how they lost the game for us.

I focus on the truth, but I get that this gets in the way of your weekly shitcanning of North players.

Not even in AA conversation. Media simpletons are still fawning over Grundy and Gawn for Goldy to barely rate a mention. In fact Nic Nat is probably more of a chance in the mind of the simpletons on the AA selection committee.
 
Yep. The handball backwards to a guy who is also under pressure is Bullshit. :stern look

Yep we over posses and we're stagnant forward of center.

Clearly worried about the intercept ability.

Brown and Jack out of form and no Larkey has had a trickle down effect.

Thomas cameo at the end we could have done with a whole quarter of.

You mean your version of the truth.

Surprised you've got time to be in game related threads amongst all the racist tripe you post.

You're a disgrace.

I get your point, but if he ends up with 145 clearances and 240 contested possies in 17 matches then they'll have to give him a spot as a 200cm ruck rover!
