We did that without our best two midfielders this year in Smith (inj) and bont (tagged out of the game).

Lipinski's searing kick into Bruce's chest in the 3rd quarter was awesome. I reckon part of the ball melted it flew that fast.

We were so clean and smooth entering forward 50 tonight. I havent seen us that slick since the Eade era.

DOES Hunter get a game. Not missing his loopy kicks to our forward line at all. Butler unlucky not to play this week.

We play a versatile deep defensive 5 with 2 offensive flankers.

A deep 5 of Keath - Cordy - Wood -Williams- Crozier, and 2 attacking flankers of Danial, JJ just looks so rock solid right now.

Keath and Cordy really work well together

 

[Braybrook Son]

I can’t work out if Bevo by dropping McLean and Cordy is an out and out genius or just plain stupid.

Since they‘ve come in they are playing career best football.

A lot of our players have responded after being dropped recently. It’s done them good.

How did everyone see Schaches game? Could easily have kicked 4 or 5.

Still too soft in the air at times. But that’s who he is. He brings lots of positives. His running. He creates space for others. His goal kicking.

 

[Dry Rot]

To be fair to the Kangaroos, they misunderstood the new harsh lockdown rules today in the North Melbourne flats and didn't come out to play.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Very impressive performance, best we’ve played this year by a long way. Thought North brought it to us in the first half but we just absolutely dominated on the outside. Was great to watch.

The defense was brilliant, especially the half backs. Best our defense has looked since 2016 I think. Wood, Crozier and Williams are great as those athletic, mid sized defenders. Cordy has looked excellent since coming back and Daniel’s and Johannisen’s run and ball use was top notch. Hope we run with it long term.

Was great to see Bruce kick a bag, Schache was decent in his return. Maybe the best thing about the win was that Bontempelli and Macrae didn’t have good nights. Last year we were relying on those two and Dunkley getting 30 each otherwise we were a rabble. Great team performance tonight. Liberatore showed a lot of heart again and English more than held his own against Goldstein. Very very happy tonight. No complaints at all.

It's apparently a lot to ask for competence in the AFL media.

There are probably half a dozen great things from that game - West looks great, big win without Bont firing and missing Dunkley/Hunter etc.

My personal favourites are:
- List management identified we needed two talls at KPD and KPF, got them for reasonable prices and they look good (and our list profile looks ok on the back of that)
- Hopefully Match Committee refrain from playing non-AFL level players and just play the best players in their best positions and go from there.

Seriously, if Bevo and the MC can get out of their own way this could be a flag team in a couple of years.

Well we do have about 9001 Baileys...

We've got 6-8 blokes who are automatic best 22, no debate. Hunter is one of them

He was outstanding. Genuinely robbed of 2 contested marks not being paid, plus another that looked iffy. That would've generated at least another goal or two. Really happy with his game today

 

[Rocketsurgery]

Does this mean Bailey Smith and Vandermeer out for next week due to tonight's concussion?

Or does it depend on how they feel during the week. I'd hate to lose both those guys

Any team sending jed Anderson to the majority of centre bounces deserves to be smashed. Absolute potato

He creates space for Bruce which to me is a ginormous positive. While he may not take every mark he should, he at least runs up the ground to create the contest to give our ground players a chance

Thought he was extremely important to our forward structures by dragging Walker away from the contest and that he should have been paid at least three juggled marks in our forward 50 that went unrewarded.

Depends how they feel. Whitfield was concussed and played the following week, so there's no rule locking them out. I'd hope we only play them if they're 100% as concussions are the last injury you want to stuff around with

 

[Struggle]

There's room for all 3 talls up forward, just not with both Lloyd and Wallis. No way does Naughton go back, we don't want another tall down there, our backline always looks best with two talls and a lot of intercepting/rebound

 

[Cadillac]

Keep playing the man North! Keep doing it

 

[Virgin Dog]

Hardly missed Naughton tonight. Bruce, Schache, Dale and Wallis are a rock solid basis for a forward line, before adding in guys like West, Vandermeer, Jong, McLean and Lipinski for periods
