Autopsy Round 8 North Melbourne vs Collingwood

[RightWingRoo]

Bloody frustrating, because we had plenty of the play and that was our best chance of a win this year. But the lack of structure up forward and basic skill errors cost us.
De Goey the only class forward on either side, was the difference.
Umpiring also hurt, the Zurhaar deliberate call was up there as the single worst call I've ever seen. (Along with Ben Jacobs being penalised holding the ball after getting tripped in the 15 prelim)
Easily Campbell and Menadue's best games for the club, earning their spots now.

I heard Jamie MacMillan won the meat tray today.

Rough day for Ziebull.

That was probably the most frustrating game of footy I've ever watched. For the first time also, it must have been for Noble who didn't look pleased either. This team just has a knack for ******* up the basics and shooting ourselves in the foot over and over again.

And I was bullish about a possible win, and there absolutely was one there and we blew it. Collingwood was not playing that well, they were definitely beatable.

More noise needs to made about the 22k reported crowd figure. It is patently underreporting by a significant amount, whether it be Marvel Stadium incompetence or deliberate bullshit from the AFL. This can’t be let slide either way.

Can see him waltzing into the whipping boy shop Monday morning demanding a refund.

Gold.....
Reckon it would have been the eye fillett and lamb cutlets prize rather than the kg of snags and a few rissoles as well platter.

I counted 23, 742

Same umpire.... Coincidence?

 

[The Ardent Army]

People think I am making this sh*t up it’s there for everyone to see they want us gone crowd more like 35000 or perhaps more . They were just letting people for ages just enter without counting

Easily more than 22k there

 

[fusion]

I've lost my voice yelling at the umpires and our players. Some extremely poor skill execution.

I can't even say anymore, my voice is actually gone.

Straight up egregious, I went off at the tv, wife was ready to give me a rocket then I showed her the replay and she couldn’t believe it

Was literally a text book contact below the knees free kick. Made contact with jacks shoulder after he cannoned in to make up for the mckay howler. Cannot complain about that

Nope, Margetts is terrible. Baffling how he's hung on for 300+ games.

 

[The Ardent Army]

Dean Margetts. Why won’t he retire!

Serial North hater.

So it's patently clear we are in for a long journey. Several out there tonight will have retired or be delisted over the next 2 years. Forward line is weak. We need to focus on getting in some options in this mid season draft.

He was at the ball first, Cameron went through with the kick regardless. Kicking in danger if anything

Thought Noble (the player) was good...

...for us...

 

[Val Keating]

Had a crack. s**t skills. Pies squeezed us when we tried to bring the ball up the ground, we mucked around with it too much turned it over or kicked long down the line where they had us covered for height. Very frustrating game

 

[Themanbun]

The rebuild has potentially found us some gems under our own noses.

Soups Campbell and Hall were fantastic today. Ben McKay was great, as was Tarryn. Zurhaar had 4 shots on goal (should have been six), and is working harder at least. Larkey I'm concerned about. Mahony kicking a couple will be good for the lad too.

You are too measured once again Val, not appropriate here

 

[Le Grille]

How ducking hilarious will it be when Campbell gets the well deserved contract extension. The ziebull might implode

That surely was kicking in danger to Ziebell in the goal square? I can’t believe the Foxtel commentary thought it was the correct call.

Same umpire paid too high to Josh Thomas when he cannoned into Young’s legs, yet the same umpire officiated the Ziebell incident as contact below the knees.

It’s absolute garbage and these umpires do it all the time. I’ve said it many times, we are a soft target, it’s easy to make these bullshit calls against us and protect their darling teams because they know there will be no uproar.

No one in that stadium other than D Maggots calls the Zurhaar miss kick as deliberate. That’s how ****ed the state of our game is.

Sounded a lot louder than 22k on radio/tv
