You may be right but I would suggest that with the volume of ball into the def 50 and the speed at which it has entered it is a bit hard to judge

And the lack of talls down there, regardless of JZ's role.

And the lack of talls down there, regardless of JZ's role.

Bingo.

Kpp are a massive problem at both ends and there is no easy fix

We have one AFL-level KPP at each end of the field.

List management disaster.

and Flynn Perez. But Noble, who has received angry emails from fans this week, reaffirmed wholesale changes were not a viable way forward for a club committed to a long rebuild. “I’ve had a few emails from our fans and we understand their sentiment, but we’re here to get work done and we’ve got to get that mentality right so it’s there every week,” the Roos coach said.

-Owen Leonard

 

[big_e]

Still wasn't enough to get Liam Anthony the Rising Star nomination for that week.....

 

[big_e]

Could it be that clubs have learned to play through his man.

The bloke has been a great player for the club for a long time but as I’ve said before when you are a defender at some point you will need to defend, he has simply not been able to do that so far, so in that sense he should be under pressure. Sure he might get a bit of the ball but when the opponent gets goals, it’s not a trade off that helps at all.

Again forward pocket or not at all. I do think we need mature players to compliment these youngsters but there has to be some level of meaningful contribution

We weren't able to force them to kick it to places they didn't want it to be, and that's where that role thrives. Look at McGovern the week before - just sat in front of Larkey because he knew that's where it was going.

Ultimately I think we fell apart in the midfield and nothing was going to stop the ball coming in.

 

[Horizons_00]

We have to got to be the worst team for racking up or dominating disposal count.

Feels like every team has a consistent or consistent players getting 30+ week in week out

Hawks also got a PP didn’t they? …….…Will we?

Sure, but my point is he was clearly targeted, and the mids being overpowered is likely to reoccur so it seems like madness to continue to have him in that situation

Is this the game Nathan Brown turned around and showed the ball before kicking a goal?

Didn’t he flip the bird

Didn't we play against them in the good friday game last year?

Channel 7 said there were issues with Tom Powell. Apparently had scans today.

I didn't catch all of it but he's wasn't wrong to be fair.

We irrelevant on field and definitely risk becoming irrelevant off field again if no improvement comes.The club needs some kicks up the arse.

That may be the case but we don't need some Essendon flog telling us where we are at - especially when they sit 0-3 and bottom of the ladder!

Meh doesn't bother me, it's his job. I'd rather have us in the spotlight being talked about and being held accountable.

I thought it was odd they posted this

Because precisely zero Brisbane players got 32+ against us on Saturday night.

Cop that, Bears!

Looks like the AFL wanted to make north suppoters feel good.


Or more likely, to rub our noses in it.
