Game Day Changes, prematch discussion & GDT vs Gold Coast

[NO_CSG]

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.

Will have to watch the replay to comment further, but the reality is he is vital to our long term structure with his ability to Ruck.

I am prepared to cop the bad with the good if it fast tracks his development.

 

[Shinboner '07]

why does basti look so slow ffs

 

[Benno_900]

Dal Santo and Ziebell have been woeful.

Fire up campaigners!

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

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.

I'm quite sure now he will never be a great center square mid. A tough brutal HFF who can go into the middle at times, yes. Bonafide gun midfielder, no.

 

[Elite Master]

The quality of the entries haven't always been great but Daw has had many opportunities but just keeps running in the wrong spots and not timing himself well. He still lacks smarts and still has that rawness about him.

Love to see black offer something. Out of form

 

[tatty83]

If Maj could learn to jump of 1 leg on the run rather than off 2, he'd be 8 times better. Not even exaggerating!!

 

[tatty83]

Keeping ablett to 12 and having 15 himself is unreal. Go pig!

 

[sbdan]

The change of form & responsibility between Cunnington and ziebell has been enormous. More and more z is looking like a sidekick.

 

[Benno_900]

Luke McDonald to win us the game?

Get on it!

 

[Elite Master]

He's offered very little for the season. A few good flashy individual moments but he just doesn't have anywhere near enough of it nor does it make the most of his chances like he did so well early last season. He's been poor again today.

 

[Cold Gin]

Anyone else worried about Jack or is it just me?

No, you've got company.

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

GUN. Dragged NM back into it for mine...

 

[Tas]

Adams 6 disposals, 1 tackle
Bastinac 6 disposals, 0 tackles

Need to pull the finger out, if you are not going to get the ball at least do something defensive.

 

[Mullett]

Cunnington amazing as usual, I thought Greenwood has also been great. In the last 20mins, GA was quiet.... Keep that S*@t up and we may run over them.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Gary Ablett: Where Is He At?

Right but not entirely correct, Maj is causing mayhem.You can see how many try and cover him in pack situations, if he continues to allow the ball over the back our fwds should be able to run onto it. That situation is a defending coaches nightmare

 

[Troo boys]

The mids keep kicking it on Daw's head rather than out in front. He has mis-timed the odd jump but is looking very dangerous. need to keep persisting with him

 

[CBSlogger]

Cue broken record....

EFFORT changed our fortunes that qtr and will determine the outcome.

If you think otherwise you clearly ain't at the game.

Clangers need to be reduced..... Sheesh.

Yeah it makes it so much worse when you have 4 or 5 of these types: atley basti mckenzie adams

Bastinac 6 disposals, 0 tackles

Both aren't the quickest or most talented players in the world, so they stand out even more when not applying themselves 100% defensively or offensively. They need to lift big time.

They need to stick it way out in front of him so he can run onto it, he is running under it a bit too much though.

 

[sbdan]

That interview between barry and Lachy was inspired

 

[Roobound]

McDonald no supercoach at Half time

drop him.....

 

[bwinnmforevr]

is this team just going to tease us and come up short or actually make amends for not turning to the game on time. When will they learn?
