Autopsy Round 1, 2020: North Melbourne v St.Kilda *HILL 150TH, KING DEBUT*

[George]

Let a 30 point lead slip away.

Stood still after half time.

Discuss below

 

[StCicatriz]

Typical. Pathetic.

The culture inside this club is completely broken.

 

[D2D3]

Good to start this year just how we finished the last 3. Missing easy shots at goal.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Had opportunities galore but just wasted one too many of them.

Finding it hard to care too much rn though.

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

If Ratten wants to coach like that he can * off back to Carlton.

Why the * wouldn't you tag Cunninton from halfway through the third when it became clear he was dragging them back into it.

1.1 from half time. Nice attacking brand of footy right there.

 

[Murraj1966]

Pathetic.

Same old s**t

 

[DarkSaint]

Joke of a team

Joke of a club.

Nothing further to add.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

What the *?????
We blew it.

 

[plugger66]

Not great. The over the top people will love the loss. Let’s them bag the club continuously. To those we understand it was a bad loss.

 

[Saint Shags]

Thankfully we won't see them till next year.
Pitiful.

 

[SaintersUnite]

I’m just struggling to understand how we let them have so much space in the second half? Like they were having uncontested marks all over the ground with no one around them for 5 metres.

 

[Johnnyrayflamingo]

Yawn. Who cares.

Season canned this week anyway.

What a ******* borefest of a game. Same as all the others.

 

[Crusty Undies]

Took the foot off the gas.

 

[Atomboy]

Have seen a lot of poor losses in the past 10 years but that would be right up there.

Pathetic and cowardly effort after half-time from all of them.

Paton and Long’s games were a positive though.

That's how we lost - that bloke has a crack, may not be graceful but he won it for North

 

[Confuscius]

Absolutely pathetic. North ran over the top of us with one on the bench. Absolutely devoid of leadership. Heartless insipid performance that we've gotten used to over the past 5 seasons.

If you can't kick straight then you need to play in the twos. Absolute joke

 

[saintsmania]

We shut the shop after half time..so disappointed

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

30 points up and lose that. Pathetic. No heart. Nothing.

 

[Hayes4PM]

We got smashed. Goal kicking still a massive issue.

 

[Pardon me]

Only 1 game and may be the only one we play. Disappointing to only kick 1 goal after half time. Think our leaders will need to do some soul searching, was headless chook stuff at times.
New recruits were fantastic. King will be better for the run.
Good win with 3 men down for North. Outworked us in the middle

 

[my name was taken]

I feel filthy.

Lack of intensity for the majority of the second half.

Usually in dunstans corner, but f me.

And accuracy...some things never change

 

[saintvic]

Very disappointing!

We were so dominant in the first half but didn’t capitalise on the scoreboard!

Same old story!

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Brad hill didn’t touch it in the last quarter

 

[Ads734]

Please tell me what happaned to Hill after half time. The midfield stopped. Lazy kicking from Kent, JOnes and Dunstan. Something simple called getting back off the mark.

 

[Browny2Carlisle]

Poor skills. No one in the middle was clean and small forwards were awful.
