Autopsy Roast & Toast for North & Changes for Dreamtime v Essendon

[Coach_Required]

Poor goalkicking cost us, but how was that not deliberate against LDU, just handballing it over the line because he saw Taranto coming in to pressure? Textbook insufficient intent to keep it in...

100% I was more annoyed at that non call than us missing.

Now I have to watch North players carry on like they won a final.

 

[Groupie_]

They are trash. We should have won.

we are worse than them

theyve never played on the g

Toby pink just casually holding Lynch’s arm with both hands for that last inside 50 but apparently not a free

Would have kicked a point anyway

Just gonna wank all night to lawlers screamer and goal

A lot of learning's out of that.
When we had the momentum in the 3rd, Lynch and Campbell missed absolute sodas and that's essentially the difference.
Taranto missed a set shot he would normally snag nine times out of ten.

I liked the way we played overall - just need to be clean when it counts.
We're building and I'm optimistic about the future.

Hard to win when you lose clearances by 20. Disappointing mids there.

All our Defenders had some very average moments.

As already been said missing too many set shots. Feels like an issue we have had for years.

Nank has to be the worst handballer I have ever seen especially in tight.

If I am a kangas supporter- oh dear. You should be at least 2-3 years ahead of us.

Gees Kano was very good in his 2nd game…6 tackles, 22 disposals….pity he kicked that point instead of a goal


Kane is a very good player…strong, tackles hard….he needs to play every game this season

Nah not AFL level apparently

 

[terrybull]

I can only see 16 players on the poll!?!?!

 

[DustinsGuns]

That was a brutal watch. Both these teams will be down the bottom for awhile yet.

 

[sabso]

Didn’t get to watch the game, only followed the live scores and the game day thread. It seemed like same old same old where we didn’t convert pressure into points, were quite indisciplined, were too slow in attack and defence and let one of their spuds kick multiple goals.

Aside from the wtf first quarter norf seemed to be a level below us. At least it was close.

trainors heavily overrated by the tiger army

Rest him for the bombers next week
Will still beat them by 85

 

[The_Kraken]

I’d love to vote for KMac, but half the team is missing?

Lmao. Another horrendous take by you.

 

[damicky]

Honourable loss

norf drew with the greatest team of all time brisbane last week

the comp is absolute trash atm. we could easily be top 6 in a year or two with how bad the comp is

 

[DustinsGuns]

Probably don't have too many more W's this year.

It's all about getting games into Faull, Simms and co now.

Reckon, despite the two goal, Lynch was awful today.

umps never call blatant frees in the last 2 mins of close ones
theyre gutless

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Some really good signs. Every game we get into the kids gets us to the level of experience and chemestry needed to win consistently. We've shown more than a number of clubs ahead of us in their rebuilds. If we keep tracking this way we'll be alright sooner than later.

 

[smurfin]

I just enjoyed the game.
Even the first quarter when we ended up 4 goals (or whatever) down, I was just happy to be watching.
Loved the ridiculous pressure in the second quarter to get the game back even.

I liked the backing in of Banks to be a designated distributor and just build his confidence.
I can't remember thinking at any stage that I wish Short was there instead.

Backline is good enough.
Trainor and Brown good additions. Pity Kaleb didn't get any noticable minutes.

Ralphsmith didn't have a bad game, but I think he's reached his ceiling and not high enough for me.

Seth definitely valuable in the forwardline and I think Mansell is different enough to persist with despite his limitations. Steely I don't know - waiting for Jasper Alger to get a run and that could be his end.

Midfield.... would love us to be in the posistion where Tarranto & Hopper are depth

Agree with most of your post apart from the Taranto normally snag part

 

[Roachy8]

Clearances - in particular centre clearances (4 to 14)
So frustrating to always be trying to win the ball off half back rather than getting it into our forward line.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

our forward line needs a new line coach. theres nothing close to a gameplan or structure there. we have these combative tall forwards all going for the same mark and bringing it to ground where theres no small forwards within 20m. oppo clears the ball easily rinse repeat.
