Martin and McGrath?

Edit: Perkins too if not for a few injuries.

that's true yeah, i'm just thinking towards some of our other players but i'll concede that we're not solely relegating new players to the 2s

game of the round starting shortly, how exciting!

I get the sentiment to be honest. I do think some teams have the luxury of playing young players without any expectation as their experienced players protect them both on the field and from as much scrutiny. Geelong and Sydney are prime examples. A team like North, Hawthorn and Us need young players to perform.

that articulates my thoughts exceptionally well, thank you.

i dunno how else to phrase it but i feel like there's always going to be >pressure< on our youth to do well from day 1 otherwise they'll be a bust and what not

 

[Vindicater]

Hawks/North is very bad. Errors everywhere.

Hawks/North is very bad. Errors everywhere.

Not surprising given they're the bottom 2

Not surprising given they're the bottom 2

Hawks running game will give them the win here and sseduce their fans int thinking they are good again despite it only working against a North team who are actively trying to give the ball back to Hawthorn everytime they get it.

 

[DERO]

When is the improvement going to come at North? They are caca.

 

[Seb78]

Norf don't deserve Sheezel. S*** stain of a football club that should've folded years ago. They're like that little kid that just gets in the way.

 

[DERO]

Clarko gunna pop.

 

[Ati Tude]

Norf board is dire. In a good way. Their win in rd 23 last year is the dumbest thing ever

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

So is greene going to get crucified like wright did

Also Hogan pick to the face of Blues defender …worse than Redman’s ‘punch’

 

[eth-dog]

Norf's defence is so, so bad. And why is Simpkin basically only playing forward?

 

[DapperDon]

so much lol

 

[Vindicater]

The best part of this is that the HawkEs fans will be up and about.

Until next week when their front running no defensive gameplay gets ripped apart by Sydney.

Norf haven't conceded under 100 all year. Aidan Corr

being your best key defender is grim.

 

[windyhill]

Simpkin as captain gives me Marc murphy vibes.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Greene offered just one week! With his record?! F*** off!!

They didn't have the media screaming Edge at the MRP.

 

[fairbump_playon]

The Greene decision is unbelievable

Poor old Peter Wright. There really is no difference in these incidents
