Game Day Round 16, 2019: North Melbourne v St.Kilda *BILLINGS' 100TH*

[Kildonan]

Both teams struggling now after a torrid couple of quarters.
Saints are not looking likely at this stage (32 points behind) but we got the better of the umpiring that quarter (3 to 5 free kicks) but the disparity has not been addressed yet (21 to 14 free kicks total so far)

 

[triggering bro]

Shaun Higgins head is massive

 

[plugger66]

A horror story. The kind that gives supporters nightmares.

I think jack was fairly important

 

[ScrappyDo]

Hunter is a class above. 5 classes above this rabble..

 

[jwikked]

but the disparity has not been addressed yet (21 to 14 free kicks total so far)

I don't think that's a metric worth paying attention to. Umpires should pay the free kicks that are there, not try and even up the ledger when one team gets more than the other.

 

[my name was taken]

High to our forward beasts in long and savage

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Where is Marshall for Christ sake? We are going Bruce against Goldy

Marshall has 15 contested possessions at 3/4 time. But he shouldn't need any bench time the lazy bastard.

At norf Ziebell has 14 and Simpkin 18.
Some help for Marshall wouldn't go astray.

Dunstan 11
Billings 11
Bruce 11
Paton 7
Sinclair 6
Membrey 6
Newnes 6
Gresham 6

Acres 5.. Piss off Acres.
Hind 5
Long 4
Steele 4. Jesus!!!!
Ross 3 Piss off Ross
McKenzie 3
Clark 3

Yes. Ross is a third stringer not a number one.

 

[BrutThough]

I know there has been many atrocious things in todays game, but Hunter after half time has been a massive positive thats worth acknowledging.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

 

[Parkers tatts]

hard at the ball

Is that enough

 

[CaptainRisky]

I feel like he'd be a gun at a good side. His link up is very Tom Lynch at Adelaide but with some aggro.

Not having a shot at you mate but we seem to have so many blokes who would be better in other teams , maybe we just have a lot of blokes who are no good

 

[plugger66]

We look exhausted

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Thought we might start with a bit of hunger.

Our midfielders for a long time have preferred to let their opponents get the ball & lay a tackle rather than actually make the play themselves.

 

[Saint12]

He absolutely did still have it.

That's part of the reason it's so laughable to suggest it was even slightly untoward.

He absolutely has it hey

I agree - in this case the frees are just not being paid to us even though they are there

 

[Pardon me]

We look exhausted

That’s our gameplan though mate; tackle, chase, pressure and get torched on turnover because our skill level lets us down.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

If the players really wanted Richo they haven’t showed it in this last qtr.

 

[triggering bro]

Jye Simpkin is a gun, does he come as a package with Brad Scott?

 

[jwikked]

Not having a shot at you mate but we seem to have so many blokes who would be better in other teams , maybe we just have a lot of blokes who are no good

Hickey, Cripps, McEvoy spring to mind instantly. Hickey has been great for West Coast, he was better than Nic Nat the other night.

What is Seb Ross story

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world

 

[bird_man]

Zurrhar has just gone right near the top of my list of players who have heads I'd like to punch list.

 

[triggering bro]

If the players really wanted Richo they haven’t showed it in this last qtr.

Mate, players know he’s gone, they ain’t stupid. A win today was never gonna save him. The players are playing for themselves.

 

[Plugger35]

We're struggling to even get to our usual 70 point score.

No doubt we'll kick a few junk time goals now that the game is over though.
