Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - North v Hawks Sun April 21st 4:00pm AEST (Marvel)

[Altum Volantes]

So this is why it gets called ‘Aerial Ping Pong’…

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Good win.

Really thought with Clarko and the young talent this would have been closer. Guess I've underestimated the Hawks

 

[VinnieB]

North get smashed by the 2nd worst team in the comp.

Do we really need to go through them asking the AFL for more help again?

 

[VinnieB]

Good win.

Or overestimated Clarko and North.

Going to hard for Nth to hold onto players if this keeps up.

I feel like north needs more veterans, west coast have Tim Kelly

To be fair, they keep drafting the wrong types.

Want a mercurial HFF? Need to have the mids and key posts sorted.

 

[Bagger72]

There is no out for North - split pick one for multiple top picks and get established players into the team despite paying more than normal.

 

[VinnieB]

No excuses...

This is a very interesting table as a Hawthorn mod thinks you can’t win a premiership unless you are stacked with top 10 picks.

 

[BomberBoy123]

North Melbourne should just fold surely

Yep, strange they keep doing it though as what's needed is so glaringly obvious to everyone else.

They traded a first round pick for Dylan Stephens

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Really grim stuff when even Hawthorn devoid of talent are belting you by 45.
Very long road ahead for North unfortunately.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

They traded a first round pick for Dylan Stephens

They picked up 3 left footed wingers in one off season despite having a left footed winger playing on the wing already in Darcy Tucker to begin with.

Make it make sense

Throw a heap at Duncan as a UFA this year.

Go huge at Harris Andrews, Weitering or Taylor as a pre-agent

Do the same to Bont, Libba and Warner.

Need to get quality in to protect the youth. Will be hard though

 

[MisterMarcus]

I was actually at the game with a North-supporting friend.

What I noticed was the number of elementary amateurish mistakes North consistently made - stuff that's supposed to get drilled out of you in junior footy.

e.g. When the ball was kicked into their forward line, every player flew for the mark, with basically nobody down waiting. Not only did this mean they all constantly spoiled each other, but it meant Hawthorn had 3 on 1 when the ball hit the deck. The number of times I saw Hawthorn just waltz it out of the backline because they had the numbers was ridiculous. The smaller blokes should wait for the crumb instead of trying to jump over the top of Larkey - it was ridiculous.

And make no mistake, Hawthorn played ordinary. They made some comical mistakes and had some very scrappy patches of play. But they got the absolute basics mostly right, and that low bar was enough.

Destination club!
It's going to cost a fair bit of coin to hold onto all their young midfielder's.

 

[The 747]

If anyone tries to compare sheezel with Reid I'd spew. Just watched him stand there and not apply any pressure. He has skills but doesn't win his own ball

They are doing him a disservice playing him in that role. He isn't learning to win his own ball.

And it shows on TV also. North are utterly amateurish in what they BOTH do and allow and are not only poorly performed but appear terribly organised.

Honestly, I see nothing unfortunate about it.

You sound like you should get into coaching and are wasted just viewing the game . I think our main session is Wednesday , if you come down to help the boys out I'll gladly buy you a latte/hoy chocolate

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Therrs either no buy in to what Clarko is trying to instill or its tanking.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Time for system changes. For next week id go with

FB: Hardeman, Zurhaar, Stephens
HB: Simpkin, Duursma, LDU
C: Fisher, McKercher, Powell
HF: Curtis, Comben, Lazarro
FF: Scptt, Larkey, Drury
R: Xerri, Sheezel, Wardlaw
I/C: Goater, Taylor, Tucker, George

It will get obliterated but atleast its different

 

[hawksalltheway]

i mean, what they need is a harley reid type, or a jhf type....imagine if they had both


very very poor club management, and given handouts left right and centre....still a mess
if i were a north supporter id be absolutely ropeable.....
