Never nice to finish with a whimper.

 

[Caracas]

Hopefully, today was an aberration. We made a better fist of things against them in R4. That’s saying something. Actually, it was our worst clearance game of the year, I believe. That says it all. In the circumstances, Larkey was great. It was our first step backwards since the first game against *.

just not good enough

 

[The Nostradamus]

3 wins last year
4 wins this year

In the old rules we’d be getting a PP

Let’s see what excuse the afl
Come up with to not give us one

Hall was off at times but he also creates a lot of offensive movement.

He can't do it alone otherwise we will cook him before we get more leadership.

The lack of proactive movement is a serious problem.

Turner and Dumont lining up on the wings In the first half. That’s terrible given the cattle we have to play there. Atley and McDonald. Such uninspiring footballers.
Goldy needs to find a new lease of football life over the break or we will be in trouble.

I guess that’s what you’d call a paddling, ‘eh Val Keating

It’s a paddlin alright

 

[Its a Process]

Remember when we smacked Brisbane in a similar fixture about 4 years ago. Means F all in the long run but it does give Nobes some ammo in the exit interviews to put the acid on a few.

bring on 2022

Positives:
- We are going into this off-season under absolutely no illusions of where we are at. We need to continue to hit the draft & hit it hard.
- Tarryn Thomas is a sensational player. 26 disposals, 7 tackles & 1 goal.
- Larkey finishes the year with 42 goals. Pretty unbelievable considering how we’ve moved the ball & his lack of support.

Negatives:
- Undid a lot of the good work we’ve done since the bye. Really disappointing.

Tarryn was easily best for us today. Other players give him the ball hoping he can do something with it. Wellesesque. Was the only one who made us look at all dangerous. Ball handling today was laughable.

The lack of proactive movement is a serious problem.

A reckon we had one run past handball and it resulted in a goal. There were many times no one up field bothered to lead. It was seriously embarrassing to watch.

 

[Moti]

Midfield mix getting better but still hikes. Speed on the outside still a problem but is magnified if we get spammed in the middle like today. Luckily it has been rare. Add Powell and Cunners, so people know how to handball to advantage, our movement forward may flow a little better

Fumbles, dropped marks, over run the ball, more fumbles all while in 2nd gear. Pretty clear the boys ran out of steam, still a great second half of the year. Thomas great game.

The whole preseason should revolve around training without the ability to 'mark' the ball.

Every single possession is 'play-on'.

We can even get Eleni screeching 'play on' for added effect.

 

[pupstar]

Exactly. I really hope that the club are furious at winning the spoon and don't content themselves with pick 1, regardless of what player we are able to draft.

Very confident the club would be furious It was just posters on here that where worried about what player we could get with pick 1.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I know you’re saying Rod.
But those lapses just mean mentally we aren’t switched on for a whole game.
Some of the footy the past three weeks resembled the start of the season more so than the post bye form.

There's a reason we've been 18th for the entire year. We're crap, with much development needed. As such, you can't expect them to be mentally switched on for a whole game.

The only game this year where we played consistently well across 4 quarters, was Carlton.

 

[Johnny99]

Performance today was not acceptable North. Do not trade next year's first pick. It is likely to be 1 or 2 again.

 

[rooboy_07]

Is that ligma?

[Grogg]

in running for worst post of the year

It bares repeating that Nobes is on a rolling contract, so if they don't pitch to Clarkson then it's because we're happy with the current coach.

 

[Poopybum22]

Piss poor way to finish the year

We saw tonight what it will mean to us when Goldie is no longer a dominant ruckman.

Goldie has been great this season but he turns 34 during next season.

The mids need to be able to adjust to a 'lesser' ruckman - won't be easy but will need to happen.
