In what ridiculously stupid way will North lose this?

One of them will have something wrong on their guernsey ....slightly wrong colour that will be an automatic free kick in the square according to rule 58 d section xy

 

[KermitJagger]

Is this a dead cat bump or is Clarko's coaching style just old hat now? Gotta wonder.

 

[Dewnior]

Thought the scum were going to North that up but North out-Northed them!

The latter

Very punchable faces do all Essendon supporters have.

Ziebell tanked. 2 on the fulls in 5 mins. No pressure.

Wardlaw being on the bench for the last five minutes wasn't ideal either.

 

[spudmaster]

Useless Norf!

Ziebell tanked. 2 on the fulls in 5 mins. No pressure.

The out on the fulls were not the only deliberate errors he made.

 

[SSSSSS]

Wonder how long until the Norf cultheads wake up to the fact that Clarko is completely washed as a coach?

So good to see Ratts let the young blokes off the leash (actually so good to see Ratts actually select the young blokes rather than throwing Howe into the grinder) and play attacking corridor footy.

I'd be wrapped if I was a North supporter with the growth they've shown the last three weeks. Miles better than anything they've dished out in the last three years.

He has had good practice at it and has mastered the tank.

Ziebell really willed the Dons over the line.

Herculean effort

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Sheezel and Wardlaw linking up nicely in the center. They're going to be a serious midfield when you consider Davies-Uniacke/Simpkin still have to find a spot.

The Kangas have the nucleus of a great midfield plus Larkey but bugger all else!

They do have a full complement of faux-tough guys

 

[Paul Kersey]

**** me Norf. Was gonna be a great night getting stuck into Scum supporters.

It has to make you wonder if it really was the Hawthorn stuff that forced him to stand down or the realization his coaching methods wasn’t getting through to the players.
Ratten has always had good relationships with players and been very well respected

 

[dermott]

Wardlaw looks like he wil be something pretty good.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Yes he will one player i really wanted last year.

The latter

It's been outdated for about 4/5 years.

LDU, Simpkin, Sheezel, Wardlaw, Phillips, Powell
and Thomas (spits) is an enviable group.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I can only imagine what would happen if this got posted on the Carlton board.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

If you can't see the problems with it, that's on you.
It's at a stage where it can manipulate an outcome (if it happens currently, who knows)

Umpiring is part of the game - but there are several posters that are flat out obsessed with it and can hardly even describe who played well during the game cos they're so focused on umpiring decisions.

And when I point it out to people, instead of going "oh yeah, maybe I should focus on the people playing the game instead of the umpires" they find a way to double down and justify the obsession.

I find it odd.

I mean Norf only had 2 players on the interchange after half time and they just fell over the line, so... ?
