is just awful. Obviously there are repeat entries which is hard to defend, but he is ALWAYS late to the spoil on his direct opponent, even when it’s not on a lead. Horrible.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I have always liked Simpkin as a player. I’m no doc but I think he came back way too early from that hit in pre-season. Those types of brain injuries can take months to properly heal.

He just looks slow and has been half a second off the pace ever since.

In serious need of a month, or the remainder of a career, in the VFL.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Norths obsession with giving young players cheap stats across half back is amazing. It’s like their crack or something

It's a stitch up.
Sheezel and Mckercher can't defend for shit, and with both of them there we still can't get the ball out of d50 anyway. Throw them in the guts.

 

[HTPunter]

Ahhhh of course, that’ll do it man

I spoke to Sam Simpson about the concussion that kept him out for a year or two, he was telling me that after it he couldn’t go for a walk without the world spinning for months

Little bit understated as to how impactful a concussion can be to an elite athlete

Obviously different for everyone but yeah I think there’s a huge amount of physical coordination & endurance you lose with a knock like that.

Perhaps even subconsciously you’re watching yourself and if you’re not fully committed, easily be a step behind like Simpkin constantly is.

 

[HTPunter]

In 4 years from todays 22 I can realistically see us having only

Sheezel, Duursma, Larkey, Xerri, Comben, Hardemann, Powell maybe Lazzaro & Curtis line up for us in a best 22

LDU & Zurhaar will leave in FA. McKercher will get a big Tassie offer that would be hard to turn down. The rest are spuds or battlers.

We are in the middle of a rebuild with a glut of high picks & we can still only name 7 best 22 players for 4 years time.

 

[HTPunter]

Forgot Wardlaw so maybe 8

Yeah and there’s even the fact that it can influences your bodies ability to regulate its HR

Scary stuff

 

[HTPunter]

I don’t know how there hasn’t been a line through Biggie & Stephens.

When Corr & McDonald aren’t your biggest issues, there’s something seriously wrong. I’d rather some senior bodies out there being shit to take the spotlight off the kids, and then need to filter through the young ones. Stephen’s & Biggie are lost out there.

Stephens is the worst for mine. Actively avoids contact and disposes of the ball so quickly that it is almost never the correct option. Terrible decision maker.

McKercher is from Launceston, so the pull to a Hobart based club won't be as high. Still, likely to be a big deal offered though.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Bring back Fitzroy
They'd be more competitive than this rabble

 

[Toump Ass]

Bring back Fitzroy

Fitzroy never left, they just moved to Queensland. Nicer weather there apparently, Cavil avenue also very fun.

I reckon we should get rid off Gold Coast when Tasmania comes in and redistribute the players around. Add Rowell and Anderson to North and I think they would be more competitive.

 

[Supersuns]

McKercher is a bit of a cat isn't he

 

[SSwans2011]

Classic Stephens tackling effort there

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Thought this would be a big game for Rachele to have a day out after last week but appears his confidence is a bit shaken after the media unfairly went at him last week.

Unfair, SA deserve two sides

 

[Dirty Bird]

True
Bring on norwood once port moves to Vic

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Phillips ahead of McDonald is the inverse of McCartin ahead of Petracca

 

[A Swallow]

Corr’s goal once again. Uncontested mark and put the head down expecting contact. Just awful.

 

[Plugger35]

Rankine joining in on the Crows forward line picnic.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Making the Crows look like champions.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Biggie is just not up too it

 

[420]

No supporter base deserve this
