1. Every time the ball moves into the forward line I dread the outcome. It just looks ineffective.

Im so flat. we are not seeing any upward growth. How did we not look too bad against GWS and Fremantle.
Feels like real men vs boys out there now. We cant seem to possess the ball. we have no movement. So we just bomb it. Except we dont have those big bodies so we have no aerial support. And we are just playing to outnumbered packs. When it hits the ground we are unable to stick tackles. We are drawn to contest and scorched on the outside. Every tried player on the list is a dud.
I know it will turn. All the kids are good. Theres some big guys there that need time and with the bulk of so many low draft picks cant help but eventually come up. I just cant wait 10 years for it.

That's the biggest issue, and its very obvious. At every stoppage you see players hanging around spectating, waiting for someone else to do something while the oppo players are cracking in. It's the most frustrating part.
Mate we did, our good 1st quarter and a half just masked it.
Probably best to stay the course given the coach has been there for 5 minutes….
100% agree. Even though what "the course" is isn't at all evident yet.

He’s not wrong - what will these guys do about it?
You keep saying that but that doesn't absolve responsibility of how we set up on gameday
What they have been doing for years……. **** All!
Collecting pay cheques and acting like frauds.

He said what we’ve all been saying. The kids are taking steps forward, the senior players are letting the side down.
STFU YOU SQUIB RUBBISH FOOTBALLER LUKE. How many did Rankine kick on you? How many squib free kicks you give away for being a dumb campaigner? How much ****ing finger pointing! You are a ****ing imposter, GTFO OF OUR CLUB
He keeps saying it, but he also keeps playing the same players letting us down week in week out.
When does he do something about it?

Mate it is a blight on community footy we have had a number of clubs amalgamate due to private schools not allowing their players to take part in community club matches, here at Fitzroy Juniors some of our senior teams are at the mercy of Private School selection each weekend, we are becoming a classist society and this is a symptom. IMHO the state govt should step in and tell them as long as you receive funding from the public purse your kids can play for their local community footy clubs, and while we're at it you can open up your publicly funded (in part or whole) facilities to public schools and clubs that are located nearby
Have a nice day Gaso.

The last two weeks have been the most depressing and demoralizing defeats I have experienced as a North Melbourne supporter, not only are we uncompetitive, but we are uncompetitive against teams in similar positions to us. It looks like we haven't improved since Noble's sacking, we look every bit as unstructured and dysfunctional as we were under him and the players look totally demoralized and it must be having an effect on their confidence because they look scared to make a mistake, they look tentative and second guessing with and without the ball. I'm sure there are a number of players who now feel like it will never end and dread going to training and playing the game.
today was better on fronts we have been awful at in previous games and guess what, something new popped up that we were simply awful at. At 1/4 I mentioned that it was the contested marks that destroyed us. We set up well on the ground in marking contests whether it was forward, wing, half forward, centre. We were just dominated in the air. (First half, didn’t bother watching the second half)
It made the contest what would be a hardball into an easy loose ball handball game. PUNCH THE ****ING BALL.
Also, we just turned the ball over at pivotal moments. We started to get a run, 4 kicks behind then we turn the ball over and I think Adelaide kicked 4 unanswered goals.
Another moment in the game was when Zurhaar had a running shot at goal, its quite a regulation shot to be completely honest, limited pressure and on the run in the first Q. Misses the goal, slinged down the other end, goal. What would have made it 10 points then become a 2 goal swing.
Shit like that just can’t fly at the AFL standard.
Jy missing that link up game, costing turnovers and goals.
Just ****

This is eerily similar to the lowest points in Noble era
But we actually had responses with Noble where as we are not getting jack shit this time around. Which makes me cringe

Worked.
finalised stocktakes on over $350k worth of German Riesling and champagne.
Therapeutic compared to watching our ****ing slop.
Had a decadent multi, all crows and that little campaigner rachele was the only limiting leg.
As NN would say. Oh well

It has to be watched in Youtube directly.
I must say that the conversation was eerily similar to some I was privileged to witness when I was working at ***
Almost word for word.
Of course it doesn’t but we must stay the course. Given we’re so bereft of good leaders and good mature players his hands are somewhat tied. He’s doing what he thinks is best for now and I’ll take his experience and knowledge and hope for the best!
