Flash! Watch and learn Laidley you ****ing flogbreath gravy sheriff.

 

[NiceCunnington]

****ing loving this. Great to have the footy back.

 

[Chadwiko]

We've had 10 inside 50's this quarter, and we've scored 10 times. (obviously not a goal each time, but still)

 

[Flawed Genius]

Urquhart kicked that 70

*edit, don't know how Bartel managed to hit him in the head without a electron microscope

 

[RooHooDoo]

Loving this aggressive play its the 90s revisited

 

[RooHooDoo]

Hale

 

[Shinboner009]

Our ability to put on pressure is insane. The desperation from the players is inspiring.

 

[NiceCunnington]

**** Anthony can find the footy.

Half Time thoughts from the Foxtel coverage.

Our intensity and pressure is superb. Best i've seen it in ages. Even better than the St Kilda game last year. Quality football.

Pretty much everyone is looking good, but a few are looking extra good;

• Matty Campbell - superb
• Sam Wright - looks great across HB. Like a young Jess Sinclair
• Scott Thompson - as usual
• Swallow - looking very dangerous around the packs
• Boomer - shades of 2007
• Anthony - in everything
• Ziebell - every possession is class
• Adams, Greenwood and Urquhart all looking good as well.

Whilst almost everyone is playing well, there is a reason why I used the qualified almost...

Straight up, Pratt and Hale look like spuds. Both have turned the ball over several times, blocked team mates, and not really added anything at all. Robbie Tarrant looks a bit lost down back, but this is his first ever game of senior footy so that can obviously be forgiven.

Good signs and quality football from North Melbourne so far in the first half.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Love a 9 pointer here

Urqs in trouble, copped one in the eye

Half time

1.6.8.53
1.4.2.35

Wright, Flash, Anthony all superb
Hale, Pratt not so

Pressure is amazing, forcing players like Ablett and Ling into rash decisions & bad possessions is something that not a lot of teams have been able to do for a long time & our players are doing it in the first half of a pre-season game.. extremely good signs and I for one have an erection

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

I don't care how the rest of the game pans out. Our attack on the ball has been sensational.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

I'd forgotten how shit Aussie ads are

 

[The Chiefton]

With Hale playing his usual type of game, I think BON must throw Tarrant into the forward line at some stage in the second half with Dish being out the first 2 rounds.

 

[KangaMatt]

Love the style, Love the pressure! If this is what 2010 is gonna be like, bring it on!!!

 

[davo99]

Great second quarter by the boys whos playing well?

 

[Flawed Genius]

I'd forgotten how shit Aussie ads are

Foxtel feed?

 

[NiceCunnington]

Just happy they are giving it their all and it has not been a Richmond style flogging.

I'd love to have a win so the next game is on TV.

 

[Flawed Genius]

FWIW, Tom Hawkins has to be one of the ugliest humans going around

Shit combover haircut & he's always squinting.. FFS I hate looking at him

 

[Chadwiko]

North leading the clearances 21 - 13 at half-time against the clearance kings Ablett, Ling, Bartel and Selwood.

Bon Scott delivers on his promise for contested footy prowess.

davo99 - see my post on the previous page for which players are looking good.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Sam Wright bog.

 

[Boozeroo]

Milky Warren train leaves Southern Cross every 15 Minutes.

TOOT TOOT!!

 

[Rod Stroker]

Jones, Hale and Pratt just don't look up to league standard
We will struggle in the first 2 rounds with Drew out.

 

[NiceCunnington]

Sub Pratt off for Firrito, see how that goes I reckon.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I am furious at the moment.
My shitc*nt little Assendon supporting half brother came into my room and asked who was playing, I replied North and Geelong (he used to be a cats supporter due to his father being one).

He took one look at the scores and said, and i quote "Ah looks like Geelong have quite a few out today, you just dont know their team well enough to realise it".

I immediately left my seat clouted him round the back of the head and screamed "OR MAYBE THEYRE JUST F*CKING GETTING OUT PLAYED, EVER THINK OF THAT?"




As to the game, if this is how our gamestyle is going to be I am very excited, none of that crap that laidley had us doing in the final year or so.
