He was good today..run up and down the wing and contested up forward

 

[archereleven]

Played a good game, but could have been much better minus the fumbles

 

[LB2Snake]

He's a class player who looks pretty reticent to receive any sort of body contact. Gotta still be carry an injury, he's much better than he's been displaying. Especially physically.

 

[Fart Cummings]

Was ok today! Nothing special and not bad! ok

 

[Heaps of fun]

Needs to put his ankles together and stop letting the ****ing thing go through his legs. Otherwise very happy with his game. After watching Wood play (on TV) yesterday I have no doubt we have the better player in the side atm. Don't disagree that he should have been blooded by this point though.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Played well but if he's under an injury cloud should be (should have been) rested, probably too late now as theres no time to have a rest AND get some consistency before finals.

 

[year of the roo]

I would have liked to see him have a crack at that one from about 53-55m out. He's capable of those. Clearly lacking confidence.

 

[King Corey]

Long term - gem.

Short term - chronically underachieving.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

I'll start with my views that he should have been dropped 2 months ago.

The thing is with black is that he can be a very dominant player but at the moment there's too many times he becomes completely invisible, and it's a big problem. Id love to see him get to more contests during those times, but he has been better the last two weeks allbeit against average opposition.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That set shot from the pocket was a gem.

 

[SMaturin]

My obsession with core strength is fed every time I watch him play.

Dead lifts, squats. Repeat.

 

[tazaa]

1st quarter excellent. 2nd quarter average. 2nd half okay.
Would love him to find some for for finals.

 

[amermaz]

In the end, he did his job. 1st quarter was amazing.

 

[Tas]

Was better today but those fumbles in the second quarter... whatever issues he has he just has to play through the rest of the season with them.

 

[verypoorboy]

He was okay today definitely not great though. Should've been dropped long ago, probably too late to bring in Wood now.

Having said that it was arguably his best game all year.....which only proves what a crap year he's having. Still have big hopes for Black though.

 

[justroyal]

he is getting plenty of attention from quality defenders and is having trouble getting rid of his man. He isn't missing those shots on goals, so I don't get what everyone is still going on about. And on the plus side, brown has shown to be a headache for defenders, so that will hopefully give black more space

 

[Benno_900]

Yes, his 1st qtr was very good.

But that is the standard we expected him to hit every qtr this season.

 

[Firebat]

I liked Browns game better today, but Black was alright. Got a lot of cheap touches up on the wing.

He is actually one of my favourite players at North but I'm a realist and call it how I see it.
He is very very lucky to still be in the side. Scott has allowed him to play every game this year, and without doing too much research I think I can pretty confidently say he's been amongst the worst 4 or 5 players in at least half of the games he's played.

Yep. Dale Morris was put on him from the first bounce.

I agree but the strange thing is, this surely applies to another 2 or three players right? Scott obviously has his theories/hopes on the teams development

That means he was working hard to get into space

...Yeah either that or he's too scared/stubborn/stupid to make the changes.......possibly a combination of all 3.

 

[Psicosis]

Definitely got involved today which was great to see, as he does have a tendency to go missing in games, today he provided an option up the ground and hit the scoreboard. As mentioned, he obviously lacks confidence which was reiterated by his hesitation to have a crack at goal from 50, something he is definitely capable of.
