Game Day Practice Match | North Melbourne v Melbourne | Feb 28th 1.10pm @Arden St. [Live on nmfc.com.au]

Wasn't that his only touch? Not that I'm against it, he's doing better than Pickett who nearly kicked a "brilliant" goal from one ft out , but somehow he missed it.

He’s literally played about 5 mins.

Pickett has been good.

 

[Smoocher]

Sloppy game so far.

Most of their scores from D50 turnovers.

A few shining lights though.

Zurhaar/Hosie/Taylor should be the smalls for Rnd 1.

Garner can start in the VFL.

Xerri looks bettter than Campbell out there, going to do some awful things to VFL ruckman this year.

Ahern pretty easily our best mid out there.

Bonar was decent when he came on in the second half of each qtr.

Jmac and Durdin have had shockers.

Durdins played OK and attacked the ball quite well but his decision making and delivery is deplorable.

Everyone talks about Aherns footskills but i dont see them. Everytime he gets it, its a rushed kick & a turnover.

He is a good kick with time n space but today he has mostly been pox.

 

[Hojuman]

Brown, Goldstein, Cunnington, Higgins, Ziebell, Polec, Simpkin, Thomas, LDU yet to touch it.

Disappointing.

Agree with all of this. Xerri is a very exciting prospect.
MacMillan deserves to start the year in the VFL but I’m not sure who we actually have to play small/ medium back roles

Nah,

He’s no good. I haven’t seen any major improvement in years.

12 possessions a game from switch kicks, flat handing contested marks and 1 or 2 spoils a game (generally with no assertiveness) isn’t an AFL defender.

This season is shaping up to be a shambles. I don’t care if it is a practice match or not, AFL footballers should not have skills this poor.

My eyes are bleeding watching us continually butcher the ball. In fact I can’t watch anymore, it’s ******* horrible.

Calls need to be made now in players who can’t use the ball. These are senior players that will never improve. Make the call Rhyce, it’s not worth giving these spuds anymore game time. Use it as a development year to blood players who we know will make the level given exposure.

Disappointing.

I suppose we don't know what role they've been told to play, although it would be unlikely that was do nothing, look s**t and don't get a touch.

People are far too soft on Durds for some reason around here.

I fail to see where the hype is coming from, he's shown barely anything since he's been drafted.

 

[Roosurgence]

From all the Marsh Preseason stuff I have seen, we are the worst skilled side by a country mile.

 

[Hojuman]

Where's young Mahoney ?

 

[muttley45]

Murphy keeps making position and getting ignored while JMac and Atley pad their stat's, needs to get handball receives and 15m short chip kicks, like them to use his kicking skills.

 

[Pykie]

Where's young Mahoney ?

Not playing by the looks.

Pfft please.. Tippa has had 1 touch while Picketts had 7 disposals and already 0.2 on the board.

There’s hype?

Seriously though, we are about to start a painful and prolonged rebuilding process that should have started at the end of 2016. s**t 4 years + ahead.

Picketts been good. Liked how he’s worked up in link up play.

Tippa has literally been on for about 4-5 mins though. Not really fair to judge a current VFL listed player to a top 12 draft pick either.

 

[GunSchwatta]

Durdins played OK

He's what?

Been absolutely awful

Tippa wins by four points then. seven disposals the bar it seems gets lower every year.

Xerri really solid, good intent, in the right areas.
Taylor class, toughness all in one package.
Ahern couple of nice moments, couple of hacks but been solid.
Hosie, fast, clean, agile, really like the look of him anywhere near the ball.

Backline has been dodgy when the ball has come in fast (which has been a lot), and even dodgier getting the ball out.
Midfield has been average at best, they've broken our lines on several occasions resulting in looks into open forward line.
Forwards have done okay with limited supply.

Where's young Mahoney ?

wasn't picked in the team
