Game Day Changes, prematch discussion & GDT vs Gold Coast

[NO_CSG]

This is the time of the quarter where we usually cough up a horrible turnover

 

[Bugz]

Greenwood. Immense.

 

[Flawed Genius]

We're shutting them down. Right back in this.

 

[utility]

Feck feck feck, cough up a late one.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

11 touches, 6 tackles?

How many of those touches have been worthy though?

 

[Page8383]

They must have taken 27000 marks inside 50 this match

 

[gokangas]

17 points - I'm happier than quarter time. But........we set ourselves a dumb challenge.

 

[koshari]

If we are in front by half time I'm gonna have an 'uncle doug'.

i will be going for a "James Hird"

 

[utility]

Down by 17 at h/t. At least we are in striking distance after being down by 40.

 

[Tas]

Thompson's shitty decision making and execution has cost us about 5 goals so far. For an all-australian defender it is pretty average.

 

[scottywiper]

Basti is being carried.

 

[NO_CSG]

We're shutting them down. Right back in this.

You have to wonder if we set up hoping to score more goals.

It's bemusing how things can change so radically from one quarter to the next.

 

[gokangas]

They must have taken 27000 marks inside 50 this match

Yep - backline generally poor today.

 

[Kangapirate]

I still feel disgusted even though we are back in it, it shouldnt take being 40 points down to wake up, our start will still probably cost us the match.

 

[gokangas]

Basti is being carried.

Lots of them are today mate.

Ethan ‏@ethan_meldrum 4s
Ben Cunnington Q2: 14 disposals (9 contested) at 64%, 4 clearances, 2 tackles, 2 I50s. Killing it #AFLNorthSuns

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Shit, late goal, but a nicer quarter in general. Midfield lifted, clogging up their run. 36 down at 1/4 time, 17 down at 1/2 time, keep that up and we outrun them for a win.

 

[naturally north]

He's a little off. But he's far from the worst of our worries.

With all due respect he spends half his time lying on the ground or fighting off ten opposition campaigners to hand the ball straight back to them.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Loved greenwood's first half.

Everyone-else has been shit

 

[sbdan]

Hansen has 12 marks at half time.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Good to start getting our hands on the ball in the middle but chopped up by the small half forwards still, just don't have a match up for them until McDonald comes on (unbelievable).

Cunnington was immense that quarter, but if he was just 20% cleaner he'd be completely ripping it up. Dal Santo looks down on energy and care.

Majak is looking the most dangerous he has in North colours for mine, and I'm including the Bulldogs game where he kicked six. Just needs to time his run and jumps at it. Going under it far too much but he looks the best of our targets.

 

[Elite Master]

Anyone else worried about Jack or is it just me?

He can still win he hard ball but his decision making and disposal effectiveness looks a touch worse then it used to be which was never that great in tight.

 

[archereleven]

Ziebells disposal is shocking as per.

Clearance, whack it onto the boot around body- turnover

Clearance, handball to opponent- turnover

 

[Shinboner '07]

obviously a better qtr, but still some dumb footy

dal, ziebels and basti need to lift

 

[tatty83]

Or

How many of those touches have been worthy though?

been to one of us rather than a GC player?!
