Don't let one act cloud your judgement, he's a quality player

Quality gets thrown around far too much.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Hopefully Mick gets his Blues to fire up and go hard at the Pies today and make them a little sore for next week.

I think the pies will win in a canter, but hope you're right.

 

[Bosk]

Regardless of how we go over in the west today........ Thank God we aren't Melbourne!

 

[nickrebellious]

Anyone watching North/Geelong? North's entry and efficiently inside 50 is great.

 

[Beandip]

North putting on an absolute clinic in destroying Geelong. Their player just seem so tenacious, all working hard for each other to open up space; allowing them to go at something like 56 to 18 CM and 81% efficiency...

Clarkson please look at this tape next time we play Geelong.

 

[WWSD]

Half time: North 75 Geel 40

I tipped North. Hopefully they can continue into the second half.

Geelong always lose the next week they play us.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

flipping typical. Anyone who says Geelong are better than us are wrong. We are just mentally weak as **** against them. They are getting pantsed by North ffs. Same happned last year!!!

Lindsey Thomas has really become an excellent player. The way he's improved specific facets of his game over the past couple of off-seasons is extremely impressive.

Apart from his kicking the other areas of his game he does really well and is now starting to become a good small forward for North.

 

[Off The Couch]

Geelong just keep on coming - it will be interesting to see how north stand up in the 4th
Picked the Kangas and can only hope they can keep up the good work as they have at stages looked really really good

He has pretty much addressed his kicking, he is becoming very reliable

 

[Off The Couch]

And as expected the cats hit the front - their belief in being abłe to come from behind is amazing

 

[Off The Couch]

Jolly off for the pies - not sure what the deal is but he copped a knock to the hips and ribs from kreuzer

 

[onthemoney]

**** I hate Geelong.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I really admire Geelong but **** i hate the campaigners. should never have been a 50!! firrito didn't know it was a free

 

[SSSSSS]

Thanks again Don Scott because **** I wouldn't want to be Melbourne!

 

[SodaPop]

The doc reckons jolly will miss 6. Watch for him to line up against us next week!

Q: Why wouldn't you let North Melbourne walk your dog?
A: Because they can't hold a lead.

People would say the same thing about us everytime we play Geelong

 

[Ram-Man]

Gerard Healy prior to yesterdays match -- "It will be hard for Hawthorn given the six day break and travelling over here to the west in 32 degree heat."

Gerard Healy half way through the final quarter " I think the 6 day break is overated these guys are professionals. An accumulation of six day breaks would take its toll not just one"

 

[Ram-Man]

And as expected the cats hit the front - their belief in being abłe to come from behind is amazing

If Bartel feeling contact from behind dropping at the knees and lurching forward is heroic, taking the game on footy and constitutes Geelong self belief then so be it.

I just watched the replay and yes he gets into good position but he milked a free kick and this type of thing is becoming the norm in sports around the world (except the NFL) why because it is continually being rewarded -- and today Bartel is regarded as a matchwinner for staging -- rather than keeping his feet bursting through the tackle and snapping truly over his head.

pffft.

Your right - that 40 seconds of play was all I was talking about - pffft

 

[Taskmaster]

I just love seeing Carlton and Judd lose. Bloody pretenders. And Im loving seeing the Bombers on top of the ladder. Yep, I just said that, crazy hey? They are getting so far ahead of themselves and in Rd 22 when they are sitting 9th or 10th and fighting to stay in touch, they will look back and say that they were on top of the ladder in Rd 2.

I thought you may have been talking about something else when you were talking about their ability to come from behind ... Hawkins, Bartel etc

 

[rick_422]

As if we needed any more reason to hate Essendon. Could not believe seeing them do the "jumping chest bump" goal celebration on Saturday night when they were at least 15 goals up already on Melbourne.
I'm all for a celebration. Can get your team pumped up in a close game for sure. But when you are up by that much against a team like that a simple high 5 will do the job...
