Game Day North vs Bulldogs (round 23)

[Skarrz]

Does anyone else hate the dogs almost as much as *? How long since we have beaten them anyway?

Can’t wait for this season to be over.

Not in the same stratosphere

* can gagf

Watch Wardlaw and think how good he and Mckercher will be in a few years with Sheez

Wardlaw hasn’t looked right for ages, don’t know what he’s done to deserve no VFL time. Can’t keep his feet in the contest and disposal is shocking

 

[Sphynx]

Going nowhere with the two captains we have who 'lead' the way.

Anyone bagging mckercher is a muppet. Only one trying to make the play out there.

He’s one of the very few with the courage and grit trying to provide overlap run.

We need him forward of center.

 

[norfnuffie]

If only we had wilphil to at least slow one of their mids

 

[Roosurgence]

I hope you fall down 2 flights of stairs flog

Go **** your self knob head!

 

[Sphynx]

Then there’s idiots that can’t see what’s in front of them.

That last play was idiotic. Instead of kicking inside 50 handballs to a teammate under pressure. Panic merchant.

Wasn’t panicked

Just made a mistake.

Just like the Captain who received the ball and acted like he was out for a Sunday stroll around the tan.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Twice in a few games he’s been run down with teammates near enough to talk to him. I don’t blame him at all, plus his errors are positive.

 

[Disco Dew]

Some of us covering ourselves in a lot of glory in here lol.

 

[muttley45]

Play Northball, this slow, kick it down the line crap is for the pit's

 

[Waynesworld]

Go **** your self knob head!

Mate I think you need a spell.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Expectations of a result in our favour have been re-set to below zero, so it should be pretty relaxing. I'm actually looking forward to it!

Still relaxed you ****in w***er?

 

[Roosurgence]

Mate you are a muppet.

Only a muppet would be happy burning Pick 2 on a bloke that can’t contest and either chips it sideways or shits himself and does nothing with it.

So many stat clowns that don’t actually know what the game is about.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Pick 2 on a soft crab with no awareness.

Kerch is fine. He's allowed to have a shocker where he's caught in two minds. It's his first season.

We've been crying out for a player of his type for years. He's a natural ball magnet and is quick and creative with probing angles.. wait until he gets some more teammates that can wax with him.

 

[danj]

Truly one of the most disappointing matches I’ve been to, showed some promise in the first quarter then played laterally in our defensive 59 for 90% of the second quarter almost inviting the Dogs to score. Surely the half time brief has to be a simple ‘we have nothing to loose kick it up the guts every time’ avoiding marking contest and kicking to space is also going to halve the odds. We just have to move it out of our defensive zone about 10x quicker

Makes a ****ing lot of them.

 

[zoomba23]

Has anyone been noticeably involved except for McKercher? Totally anonymous performance from literally everyone

Ball magnet is not running around the back for cheapies.

 

[speedy]

Do we actually train with footballs ?

My theory is we use those hard plastic balls which were around about 30-40 years ago.

 

[bennymate]

Until we change captains and drop McDonald and Simpkin, we aren't leaving the bottom 4

 

[Only Forwards]

Makes a ****ing lot of them.

He’s a kid developing in real time in the seniors. In a role he wasn’t drafted to play.

It shows how rare what Sheez has is.

 

[showusyacunningt]

If it was easy wouldn't every player do it?
It's usually what high possession players do, put themselves in positions to receive the ball.

 

[Waynesworld]

Probably explains why we’re so scared to go near the ball.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

The only 1 of our half-forwards leading up is the smallest guy who's barely taken a mark over his short career. (RHJ)

Not many of us seemingly giving a crap today

Spot on, RHJ giving an option but dogs defenders working way harder and getting spare men across for 1:2.

It’s all lack of work rate IMO. Were bloody lazy, always playing from behind (forward and back), always out numbered in the air and on the ground, free players for them everywhere, long down the line for us every time, missed tackles from our boys, ball locked in every time we do win a contest. It’s all lack of hard work.

 

[Only Forwards]

They must have got a huge bake.

Came out before the Auskickers we’re off the ground.

I want fire.

 

[travelli]

He looks completely cooked. Psychologically.

I think everyone has had enough of footy this year.

Do i really have to watch the second half?

 

[Ichiro #51]

McKercher does things based on the expectation his teammates will also at least try to be creative and proactive. He and Sheezel in the middle is the future, we’ve just got a lot of shit to sift through until then.
