Autopsy Swans by 31 in a Dire and forgettable game.

Blakey and Warner probably make the bests in the paper and got their numbers and don’t get me wrong both did good things, but to me both were the standouts of trying to be fancy and cute and felt like the goals north got came from their types of play or often North could capitalise

Didnt really notice Blakey to much then i look at the stats and he got it 29 times, Warner was good with his bursts through the middle just way to cute and casual at times.

Blakey worked harder today at least

Rowbottom pressured well and I think Hamling deserves praise for his game. I like Hamling in our defence

We needed to pump them, because we didn't we now need to hope someone like the Eagles win the derby or North upset on of the teams in the 6-8 region

It wouldn’t have made a difference even if we did pump them. Our percentage is a lost cause this season. I’m surprised people are still hopeful. We either win all the remaining games or we don’t make the 8. It’s not gonna happen.

We did the bare minimum we had to, but jeez, it was an eminently missable game. Just terminally dull. Still, the result was never really in doubt and we came out with no new injuries, so I guess it’s a positive overall. It’s just a shame I had to watch it.

Two positives:

• Heeney and Grundy continuing their great form
• Buller and Hamling slowly cementing best 23 status

Not much else to be happy about.

Glad to see the crowd cheer Parker when his head popped up on the big screen.

Today's team effort was akin to past matches when it was later reported "there is a virus running through the team", at times notably flat.

A better vibe will be required on Friday.

I hope North improve, have a soft spot for them

It was a terminally dull and unexciting 3 hours. We did the bare minimum we had to, but jeez, it was an eminently missable game. Still, it was never really in doubt and we came out with no new injuries, so I guess it’s a positive overall. It’s just a shame I had to watch it.

Im actually enjoying the finish to the season good launching pad into 2026.

Whats that 4 from 5 now? with a close loss to the Dogs.

100% to catch up the % before this week we needed to win by about +300 across 6 weeks to catch it up.

Really needed a 10-15 goal win today to bring it back to a chance

As we started last week a 60% chance of making finals winning all of our games now 2 wins later it is down to 40%

 

[The King!]

Buller does a job.

I was a bit surprised Hayward didnt do a bit more today, wasn’t awful, but after a great month thought he might dine out . Delivery was average to be fair

5/6

 

[Jack Lord]

Heeney is a class above.

Really happy to see Buller grow in confidence.

The negative for me was seeing north waltz it out of F50.

Season is probably done but it’s always fun to slay the giants.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I love Dans weekly takes always super emotional

Heeney BOG by a mileeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEeee good efforts from Grundy,Wicks and Hamling.

SWarner way to cute with his decision making.

Buller okay aside from 1 bad set shot took some good marks and presented well.

Sub choice was atrocious.

No way there was 32k there

Heeney was great. I thought Buller did a lot other than kick goals. Sad about the shank but he presents. People forget his only other game before this stint was against the best Full Back in the game in Harris-Andrews. What an initiation.

Do you realise we had 80 HO to 10? We should have won this game by 200 points with that sort of advantage. But we allowed then to intercept the HO in the last 3/4 and a half. In the first quarter about half way through Clarko realised they were getting flogged by Grundy, 62 HO, so he got them to rove to him. Sumpkin and LDU just cleaned up and we made no move to combat this.

Other than 10 minutes in the first and the last quarter, this was forgettable. I will watch those moments and hope we can reproduce that for awhile game next week. Because if we don't we will get absolutely flogged

I think we’ll make it if we win all our games (which we won’t). It’s highly unlikely a 14-9 misses out. Percentage comes into play at 13-10. Basically, lose another game and we’re definitely out.

[wolftone57]

Not a fan of the title. Plenty to like out of that one.

Strong win keeps our season ticking.

No there wasn't. Other than 10 minutes of the first and the last quarter it was disastrous. We had 80 HO to 10. We did not take advantage of such a huge advantage. This is indeed a forgettable game. If you played this as an example of AFL to an International audience there wouldn't be too many bothering to watch another game

 

[tombomb]

Our front 6 is just diabolical.

Absolute priority in the offseason to get more quality in that part of the ground.

If Papley isn't playing, I doubt opposition give a thought to any of our forwards outside of when Heeney goes there.

 

[Bonz]

Let's change the title.

Game wasn't forgettable, will be long remembered for one of the greatest individual efforts I have watched.

Issac F*cking Heeney.

Nope 13-10 we are a mathematical 6% chance of making finals
14-10 its a mathematical 45%

Realistically with 13-10 its about 0.0001% chance of making finals
14-10 its about 5% chance of making finals

We are playing wingers up forward instead of pressure and goal scoring forwards

 

[wolftone57]

Just put Heeney in the title mate lol can we be positive about a win please Heeney2Franklin

What a superstar

Grundy great but we didn’t capitalise on his dominance


Chad and Blakey played ok but stop trying to be so fancy.

Errol good moments, Sheldrick, wicks, Cunningham, Hamling , Campbell , Buller had good moments


Roberts and Bice are massive problems in their form, Florent has to come in for one, clearly for the other


Ladhams sub still baffling imo



But Heeney is a legend and fast moving up the list of the best we have had

I though Pistol Pete bloody good when he came on

18-5 inside 50 marks which surprised me tbh.

But yes im not going to beat the already decaying horse further everyone knows our front half is very average

Shout out to wee little lad who was doing a very heartfelt Sydney chant completely out if time.
Hilarious but cuteness overload
