Blues deserved to win, but the umps helped you big time
Can anyone honestly say that Durdin was a better selection than Kemp or even Young?
If Durdin is ahead of Young, we need to clear the decks.
Thought the effort was their, although the first fifteen minutes we seemed like we had just gotten out of bed.The effort worries me. Thought after last two weeks and picking all our bulls we would have come out fired up. Yet we were soft
Selection around HB, defence is a concern as is midfield balance
Lot to work on and finals getting closer
Thought he did OK, certainly looks more a 2nd Kpd than others. Don't really understand the rush to send him back to the VFL when we need a better solution when Weitering or Gov miss.Can anyone honestly say that Durdin was a better selection than Kemp or even Young?

I think Carroll' problem is that he can't play his best for 4 quarters of AFL level football yet. He surprised me tonight was the best clearance player for us for a quarter- with some leg speed and decent kicking.Interesting with Carroll, maybe dropping him sparked hunger. Played well!
If we don’t find a KPD and look everywhere to fill the giant hole it’s created then I blame list management.
posting that with 0 context is hilariousSam Durdin, another Nick Austin Special!!!!
Cerra diabolical again
We are not winning a final playing like that.
Hopefully it is biorhytmic not cataclysmic
Stick to low-quality trolling - that is your niche mateWe must have watched different games.
For his standard he was decent but I’d be surprised if he keeps his spot.
North are one of the worst teams of the past 25 years - 7 wins in the past 64 games. Two wins this year and a percentage of 65.Thought the effort was their, although the first fifteen minutes we seemed like we had just gotten out of bed.
Midfield battle was interesting, thought they made us look so slow at times. They were moving the footy in lightning quick fashion at times and we were looking flatfooted a fair bit.
Jack Carroll really impressed me, best game I have seen him play. I hope they keep him in the team, has a great left peg and a little bit of burst.
Really liked Ollies game as well. Played like a man possessed I thought, easily his best effort this year. Hopefully he has turned the corner now.
Also happy with Cotters, serviceable game, good improvement from last week.
So good to have Motts back as well. He brings a lot of energy and unpredictability to our forward line. He will be better for the run as well.
Overall, happy to bank the four points. North are a much improved side, I under-estimated how much better they are now. They are a very quick team on a hard deck that suits their style. They may even be pushing for a top eight spot next season, if their improvements continue on this trajectory.
Probably a crazy idea, next year would we look at…
TDKs brutal at the contest like Cripps, could we turn TDK into the first 200+ cm inside mid, good below his knees also… Only 6 cms taller than Cripps…
I'd give Durdin another go vs Port if he's fit.Thought he did OK, certainly looks more a 2nd Kpd than others. Don't really understand the rush to send him back to the VFL when we need a better solution when Weitering or Gov miss.
We have a high ceiling and can kick goals but we have holes defensively (running back) and just dire competing for balls in defensive 50.
A win and we'll take it.
Forcing us through the first half... I'm just not sure how to enjoy that when everyone says enjoy the ride. I think more than anything else we are just terrible favourites and can't deal mentally.
For the club's supporters that hate us and the neutrals we must be amazingly fun to watch. There are so many games where there are significant time periods where we look like a trainwreck of massive proportions.
Then for us, there is sheer elation in moments of craziness.
We are second, we are horrific, and we are incredible...and we are everything in between.
As a solo performance, no.
But we seemed to have a better team defense today.
I can only think that the reason why Kemp keeps getting dropped is because he doesn't help set things up when the ball is coming back. Pure conjecture on my end but he doesn't play poorly enough in other areas to justify it.
So did he do much more himself vs Kemp? No. But we set up much better down the ground today I felt. Was that due to the absence of Kemp/ inclusion of Durdin? No idea.

Was at the game, level two. So if Norf are as shite as you say, then our performance to really only just get over them, was very, very mediocre.North are one of the worst teams of the past 25 years - 7 wins in the past 64 games. Two wins this year and a percentage of 65.
Gifted us goals at important times through pure incompetence.
No doubt some of their kids will be stars - LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw. Comben and Xerri are good talls … but I don’t see much depth at this juncture. They are a long way from rising.
That is just being blind. SorryI think Kemp plays a lot better with Gov in the side. Brackets and Bot get the 2 best forwards and Kemp is 3rd man up, he isn't great one on one.
Don't agree, it's been Kemp on the best forward, JW on the second best and gov as the intercept, at least the past few weeksI think Kemp plays a lot better with Gov in the side. Brackets and Bot get the 2 best forwards and Kemp is 3rd man up, he isn't great one on one.
