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

[GunSchwatta]

Macmillan simply must start in the 2s.

Must.

He cannot be selected due to some leadership bullshit until he improves his footy.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Look at this vid around 20 seconds in and you tell me Shawry doesn't already see what we're seeing.

He must be livid watching this happen again this week.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Looking like another year without finals coming up. Our deficiencies are not going to be fixed in a few weeks when the real stuff starts and a few players come back.

 

[The acurate one]

Well not that bad when all things are considered!

A quarter to go and I think we can still win it. Dees are tiring, well that's an assumption really, I'd be bloody knackered if I had the ball that often.

 

[jimandphilbadge]

Watched the 3rd quarter via the internet as was required to attend a mediation meeting with my boss at midday.
Not sure what is more toxic.... Her people management or this NMFC performance.

 

[Clarke is King]

Ive got to stop buying into preseason training report optimism. Today has been hard to watch

 

[King Corey]

Even the North Melbourne stream is telling me to "Become a Demon in 2020".

 

[GS WARRIORS]

To many below average senior players on our list who get regular games - Ats, Jmac, Wood, Garner, LMac, Turner are setting us up for failure each year. Plus other list clogers like Tyson, Hall, Durdin, Campbell in the waiting.

You should have just read my training report

 

[buttsauce]

Why did we bother getting Tyson.

 

[kool kangas]

Garner has to stop roaming up the ground and players have to man up

 

[The acurate one]

Why did we bother getting Tyson.

........." because he was free"

 

[GunSchwatta]

a bit yuck atm. I didn't expect to see this under Shaw.

It's not Shaw's fault when some clown kicks it 20m directly to the opposition.

He can only do so much.

 

[arden station]

Whatever line up played that 3rd quarter was completely lacking any zip around the packs. The skills were poor and we kicked it short a lot.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Macmillan can not tackle.

or kick, or make a good dicision, or run quicker than slow, or equal a one on one,

* I feel for him
The players gave him nothing and today as well

 

[Hojuman]

 

[King Corey]

No sarcasm, MacMillan is at least trying. Too hard if anything and it's all going to poop in his hands.

The less said about several teammates the better.

I'm disappointed in Dumont and I'm someone who's stuck up for him. SHOCKING slow use. Makes Ziebell's ball use look like a Krakouer brother.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Durdin leaves Fritsch, then doesn’t go to the contest.

Good god man.

 

[King Corey]

It's not Shaw's fault when some clown kicks it 20m directly to the opposition.

He can only do so much.

It will be his fault but he needs 12 months grace before we judge how he can recast this side.

The little coaching streak last year was promising but probably misleading in that hardly anyone is treating him as a new first time coach.

 

[tazaa]

Who kicked that ball out of the defensive 50 just then?

 

[Johnny99]

Lazy isn't one of the words that come to mind when I think of any of those blokes. Plenty of other negative words do, but not lazy.

Atley-JMac-Turner-LMac



Are lazy because they deliver the same half @rsed performance week in, week out and are never brought to account. They never get dropped.



These players deliver rubbish and it has been accepted and they will keep on delivering sub standard performances, because the coaching staff don’t address it.



We need a coach that is prepared to say, Hey, I am going to play a Taylor, Xerri or Hosie. Someone who gives a sh1t. Rather than accept sub standard performances every week.



Its lazy because they have become complacent.



They need to be dropped Round 1.



That’s the first of many hard decisions this club needs to make.

 

[Roosurgence]

Regardless of personnel available I would be putting a line though Garner, McMillan, Durdin and Daw for Round 1.

Play anyone, because these guys are not deserving of a game at AFL level. Daw is not ready and that is ok. Give him time to get back to level, the others are just list cloggers.

 

[GunSchwatta]

I even had the audacity to criticise womens footy earlier this week.

These guys should be bloody taking tips from the girls on how to play going by what i've seen so far this year.

Last 10 seconds.......welcome to North Melbourne.
