NAB Cup Round 1: North Melbourne vs Geelong & North Melbourne vs Footscray0

[The Nostradamus]

Late goals slaughtering us.

Haven't seen Ziebell or Greenwood so far in this game. Who was subbed for White/Speight/Kennedy?

greenwood isn't playing this game, neither is harper and edwards

 

[Mr Reliable]

As Richo blind turns, and delivers a 15m+ handball to a running Patch, who sets up Swallow for a goal.

Richo has changed his shape over the summer. Looks trimmer - more like a lean, hard running mid. Could be simply the jumper.

 

[Tas]

The only thing we are off on is the hitting targets, well, that and missing our defence. Tarrant looking good in the back, I really hope we keep him as the FB, don't like Grima or Thompson having to pick up bigger blokes.

Well, until that point it had been. And I was watching on delay.

 

[schimma_20]

We're missing most of our starting defense, and it's showing. Apart from that, we're looking reasonable.

We'll have a good season.

Looking reasonable l would say we are very ordinary.

 

[The Zebra]

Is it just the shoulder strapping or does Tarrant move a lot like the Duck?

 

[benno87]

Daniel Pratt is not in our best 22, fact.

 

[The OBSTacle]

We are fielding our seconds defence (which has been good) and the forwards have gotten frostbite.

If there is any blame it lies with the midfielders and the coach. I'd like to see us kick the ball a lot more.

Tarrant and Richardson both excellent and will play round 1 along with Hunter, McMahon and Rawlings. The rest are fighting for the other spot.

Garlett and Adams have been good. Spitter trying hard. Atley has done a couple of nice things.

 

[Flawed Genius]

On Fox they said Greenwood not playing and Jack is sub.

Thanks Mr R.

Well, until that point it had been. And I was watching on delay.

Sorry

Daniel Pratt is not in our best 22, fact.

Agree wholeheartedly.

 

[Ry009]

To be fair, Geelong and the Dogs have gone as hard as if they're playing round 22, and we're going at 3/4 pace, whatever the result cant read much into it.

 

[The OBSTacle]

Daniel Pratt is not in our best 22, fact.

He's been very poor today. Looks slow.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Are we any danger of playing in front?

 

[Gus]

Have to disagree with that.

 

[Flawed Genius]

And again, twice in two I50 deliveries and Gav is caught playing behind.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Are we any danger of playing in front?

Wouldnt have thought so.

Daniel Pratt. You are shit. Absolute shit.

 

[The OBSTacle]

Chopping the arms!!!

Did the umpires periodically lose their sight when they looked at Hansen in the first match?

 

[Ghostwriter]

How's Petrie going?

 

[Juryduty]

Marcus White is very ordinary as well, every he touches goes to the opposition

 

[Flawed Genius]

Anyone else see Majak come across and cut the Dogs player in half?

 

[Ry009]

Yep, sexual.

 

[Dan]

Closing speed was good

 

[pooley]

I don't what our training watchers are on! They describe a lot of our players as "pure silk". most of skills today were pure HESSIAN.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Legs are too old and slow.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Well done, LT.

 

[Dan]

LT 9 pointer!
