North forward 50 entries just not good enough this quarter.

Why did the Geelong guy have to go back 5 meters before? I’d love clarification as sometimes the umps will let a mark be closely guarded near the boundary in the pocket there, but just before Geelong player was forced 5m behind the mark

The most frustrating part of the game today is the HTB interpretation. For both sides it is a lottery week to week. 4 umpires with absolutely no consistency between them.
Yep - not knocking Geelong but the commentators are banging on about their “intercept” defenders, I feel like their defenders haven’t had to do anything but wait 10m in front of the forward and it gets lace out on their chest.

Do the North mids know they need to kick to the vertical blue and white stripes?
Darcy Tucker tackle will be interesting. 100% the action the AFL wants to remove, and he created all the momentum in the tackle (as opposed to say Bedford on Taranto) but no injury. Should be a week for me because of the action but no concussion so probably just a fine?

dude you called Zane Duursma an A grader. Seems like you just rate everyone who is young. Enjoy the kids corner.

His arms weren’t pinned which helps Tucker, but as you said he did generate the momentum himself

Watching with commentary on is wild.
Come on North
North have great speed with the ball too much for the cats at times but Geelong seem to of said that is fine and we will drop someone in the hole and try and catch you out of position on the turn over. Geelong are not executing well either with their disposal into the forward 50 area as well.
I think if you leave an arm or arms free for the tackled player to brace the fall it mitigates it a bit

Feel like Kangas are losing this match, as opposed to outstanding play by the cats. The manic hand balling out of Defence works, but falls down when you have shite entry into the F50. Logue is still rusty and his disposal has been poor.
Poor defensive marking in set plays in the Geelong F50 and the ubiquitous brain fade by Corr allowing their first goal. Xerri and LDU have been super impressive and need others to lift in the 2nd half.

Stephenson surely never gets a game again after this. His ONLY redeeming feature is usually his skills.
