Game Day Grand Final. North Melbourne V Brisbane. Just you wait and see.

[krakouers]

Yes?

Blame Chief and his Jack booted use of swear filter

 

[Harveysuth]

Mia King as well

Those two kicks from the centre straight to Brisbane players. I’ll add in eddy in as a non factor too

2 key backs horrendously outsized


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They key backs held up well until for whatever reason Crocker left them one out against a rebounding Brisbane.

I won’t name the player, but you can’t have a player like that in your side when the game turns into a contest.

Virtually gave up on the contest numerous times to let Brisbane swoop in and gain possession or gorse a stoppage.

Craven

It’s okay - she goes to water when the pressure is turned up.

I don’t see it in her

 

[Roosurgence]

It's a brutal assessment but true. They wanted it more and some of our efforts when the ball was on the ground was sub par.

A couple of players in particular stood off the contest when they needed to go in and win it or halve it.

It’s small things like that count in a Grand Final that is a scrap.

 

[Ligma]

One of the best atmospheres I’ve been apart of

 

[hellas_johnny]

Disappoined but think we can all we proud of what the girls have done this. Its stuff like this that can spur both the girls and the club as a whole onto bigger things.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Bigger bodies where it counted. Up forward. Was the difference between going inside 50 and scoring.

Ball at the ground so many fumbles happened last week vs Adelaide aswell. Is it the pressure or is a different type of ball to the men's. Seems very common

Well you named her for me lol

But too many times she stood off the contest instead of attacking it.

I know she is lightly built, but if you want to win, you need to attack the contest. I didn’t see one Brisbane player not go, when it was their turn.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Last quarter was genuinely insipid.

 

[Roostorm]

Despite the non calls…..that quarter needs to be replayed at every opportunity…..fumbles, hanging back, should l punch. Let it burn and be a learning experience….this is what it takes.
They have done marvellous to be here….be interesting to see who we say good bye and hello to. Does Wall come back next season or do we say fair well. Extra cover for Bruton needed…we’re so close and l think we need to be ruthless in the off-season.
well play team…proud….lm going to need some time to mull this over……

In one of the most important contests she was flat footed

Disappointing

 

[Roostorm]

Another last quarter collapse against the Lions to give up the win. We didn't get enough benefit on the scoreboard from third quarter dominance and paid for it in the fourth. We basically couldn't get it into our F50 when the game was on the line. The final scoreline doesn't give a true picture of the game, but in the end it is only winning the GF that counts. It wasn't due to a lack of effort, so well done girls.

This …spot on…..we’re a quarter away from it all……time to think who do we bring in…

I think you are being kind, she didn’t want it.

Stood off and hoped her teammates would make the contest.

 

[DarwinRoo]

A game plan that turns midfield dominance into goals would be nice.

 

[Woolly Mammoth]

Useless piece of Murdochian sh*t Kayo kept lagging and consequently I was 5 minutes behind and didnt realize it, then with 5 mins to go when we were still in it I was hoping for a grandstand finish, and I get a notification on my phone "Brisbane end Kangaroos flag dream"

Only thing worse than a kick in the guts is an anti-climactic unceremonious kick in the guts

Still proud that the Kangettes got this far though

 

[Roosurgence]

Forwards other than couple flashes of brilliance were terrible.

I love the way that Randall plays but today she was playing far too much behind, when she needed push up and force more of a contest.

 

[trooroo4life]

The foundations are there, they have been for a while. Just need to find a few more role players to take the next step. Probably need a bit more pace up forward. Definitely need another defender to help Ferguson. A different style mid in the square.

Heads up and go again.

I picked her as a personal favourite early on, as I did Kayne Turner, as I did Ben Warren. I swear I have cursed them all.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Still in Frustrated mode (f##k early injuries and the umps).
Will probably soon move into Oh Well, It was a good effort to get to the GF mode.
Need a beer.

Try having a * player as a favourite, they may get a leg up

 

[CURVE]

We were fortunate with injuries all season, but it really hurt when we lost Bruton early, it meant reworking our midfield and even though we dominated for three quarters, we looked tired in the fourth.

It would have been interesting to see what would have happen if Garner was awarded a free for the head high bump, it may have been the fillip we needed for a better fourth quarter performance.

I can see most, if not all of these players returning next season, along with the return of Vikki Wall it should make for a strong showing in 2024.

 

[Roosurgence]

Need another Jasmine Garner or two.

Needed to throw her up forward in the last to try and swing the game when Brisbane got on top. Problem was we were a mid down.

Is there a new filter that changes scared to flat footed.

Because she’s genuinely a cat.

Games on the line, ruck is only tapping it to you. Have a ****ing dip.
