The siren saving Norf then. Half a second more and it’s deliberate.

Swings and roundabouts as a decent coach once said , 2-0 but easily could be 0-2

 

[Mercy Seat]

Why are you surprised
Had a bit of a head start and quite a few early picks

Almost every poster on this board had North below us on their ladder predictions.

They should be ahead but I get why posters would be surprised.

 

[The hands of stone]

Wow what an ending.

Howe is copping an absolute barrage in the north forum.

What are Hawthorn supporters posting in a North forum ?

Definitely doesn’t look pretty. But can’t deny its effectiveness.

He just never quite learnt how to also attack plus had issues developing the young players on his list

Mate i am a proponent of defense first football have been for a while now. Because it teaches discipline and definitely gives the players focus. Attacking football is great to watch and is very effective if you can defend well. but you can already see that St Kilda and Nth look 10 times better then they were. St kilda missing so many players as well. Having great defensive structures helps u win games. You are organised and you are focussed as a team to defend. It can be a spring board to attack in the modern game on turn over. I think we needed to move on from Clarkson as his time at hawthorn was over but anyone thinking that his time was over might have been pre mature. His strutures hold up in any game

Siren goes clearly after the ball went out of bounds.

 

[goldfinger]

Ball was out of bounds before the siren went going by the replay they just showed..... controversial!

 

[Off The Couch]

under the pump early in the season

Simpson
Beveridge
Longmuir

Barracking for norf but I thought the action of the free should be what they base the decision on, not the final siren, not too mention the siren sounded before the ball was completely out of play

Clarkson could win a flag at North this year and it wouldn't change his time was over at Hawthorn.

Clarko has North unrecognisable from last year. It shouldn’t surprise of course.

 

[Jazzfan]

Doesn't matter. You can't call it before it goes out. Ball kicked - siren goes - ball goes out.
Too bad so sad

Nup.

You can kick a dribble goal after the siren if you get it off in time... think on that mate.

Clear error.

Similar to Collingwood’s success under McRae. It’s been reinvented by the usual nuffy brigade as “he inherited a great list.” Funnily none of them actually said this prior to the 2022 season. Same lot now claiming the North side that kept winning spoons and they predicated for more are actually a great list.

Good coaching is good coaching

 

[leathaleigh3]

Also what if someone dumps a player after they kick the ball into forward 50 on the siren when their kick is in the air, do they pay it down field or from where the ball was when the siren sounded?

 

[Brant]

Who cares?
Dickers lost, at home - that's all that matters!

 

[TylerDurden]

Absolutely it was a kick after the siren. It's almost worth taking to court. Freo have been stitched

Btw Howe is an absolute liability.

You didnt read my post did u?

Clarko still has it

Amazing coach, can still get gold out of dross!

 

[theiaofseed]

I did.

Didn't* You*

 

[MrPremiership]

What is the rule here?

Does the umpire need to call the free before the siren? Or is it just that the ball needs to cross before the siren?

Because it was definitely deliberate and seemed to cross the line before the siren

 

[Cleavy]

could have get some mega juicy odds on Saints and North being 2-0 and Dogs and Cats being 0-2.

 

[Sturty]

Bevo has woken them up.

Saints starting to look like the bunch of average joes that they are.

Oh dear

Yeah it seemed to cross before the siren, but if can you award a dribble kick goal after the siren then the rule must allow to call deliberate in that instance too.

AFL will need to comment. No idea how they can say anything but an error. That could cost Freo finals come seasons end. Really poor.

Flip side, that might be the reason we land Reid lol.

 

[TheFourPillars]

I did.

You obviously didnt because i already mentioned that clarko's time at the hawks was at an end. But anyone blowing him off as a spent force might have been premature and or wishful thinking

 

[Mercy Seat]

If it were the hawks I’d be salty as, but because it’s freo and at home, lolz

To be fair, I reckon Clarko has the most first round draft picks of any club on his list. He’s just un-northing them.
