Right. So let's go with "inexplicable bullshit" then.

I’d love to know who or how they’re making that assessment for every disposal

 

[Heaps of fun]

Remember when we were this fun to watch?

Me either

Rhyce with a full list last year was massively enjoyable.

Correct. Sure, we've been hard to watch this season but last year we destroyed Richmond and Collingwood with hard, fast football.

Young Woodcock looks like a bit of a prospect

Don't have the virtue of hindsight yet but have a feeling we might look at 2020 as the club going through "growing pains". We needed to change to get out of the rut of mediocrity and it hurts to change.

I hope, and have confidence, that you're right.

For the 2 weeks it was - that is over a year ago now though.

I look at the pressure and skills of the game on now and say wow we are so far off it - not just a couple of players off it but miles off it in terms of playing style, team work, pace, skill, pressure and ability to execute under pressure.

I know it can turn quickly on the basis of confidence but I couldn't see us getting within 50 points of these teams on a best 22 basis.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

"Best 22 basis" last time I saw the stat North had lost the most games to injury this year. Didn't note where Port sat, but they mentioned at the start of the broadcast that they've played the least number of players this year (32).
So a best 22 game might surprise.

 

[archereleven]

It is becoming eerily similar to the round ball game.

Fines should start at 5k and double for every time you’re cited.

* the fines...

Start with a game off, then double it for subsequent offences.

1,2,4,8,16, deregistered

I woukd be absolutely filthy if we lost a game like that.

Was that with or without Bards gameplan?

The one we are running atm, sure as s**t isn't exciting...

Big dose of medicine this year.

Medicine we've refused for a very long time.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Haha Caddy, you dud.

This actually is a really good game. Haven't enjoyed too many games this year, but this is a good one.

Ha - nothing like a bit of wishful thinking - both sides have 5-6 out of their best 22 out on top of the quality we are seeing out there.

But keep on with that line of thinking - whatever works for you is my philosophy.

Do you remember how Brad had us playing against Fremantle? Rhyce didn't use Brad's gameplan.

Nothing like a self-hating North fan. Woe is us.

It's bloody awesome.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Do they still want to trade Oliver Wines?

 

[Billy Not Really]

David Koch should get on his hands and knees begging for forgiveness, Ken Hinkley ain't a bad coach and he turned chicken s**t into chicken salad.

 

[Marstermind]

We're miles and miles off it and will be for a while. But that's OK.

Whilst it was fun, a better than expected first half of 2018 and second half of 2019 derailed a decent rebuild. We probably thought we had a better list than we did. We should be under no illusions now. We can start building properly. As hard as it is to take, we probably needed another stinker of a year.

Yeh, but we'll leave the covid out next time.

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Josh Caddy is not just a dumb footballer, he's bloody ordinary as well.
I don't normally buy into arguments about the influence of umpires, but this was one game where they kept the Tigers in it with a few howlers.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Wines: 28 disposals @ 89%, 10 clearances, 11 tackles, 7 inside 50's, 6 score involvements, 1 goal, 1 behind, 4 intercepts in 75%GT.

That's some game.
