Game Day North vs Bulldogs (round 23)

[Mathiasp]

Here at the ground. This is as rubbish a display as I have seen us put out. Our entire team cohesion rests on the shoulders of a 19 year old. Make him captain now. jy and Luke can be VFL captain.

 

[koshari]

The club just cannot accept this input from our players.

Not like that have a choice

Winning the last game of last year is going to haunt us for years

 

[Kanga1996]

They hold width and position.

They run hard for each other in every aspects.

They’ve out worked us in every manner of the game.

Reckon we’d struggle to have 3 players on the same page at any point on the ground.

Dear in headlights footy.

They cheat because they know the inevitable turnover is coming.

Good sides torch them because you can’t cheat forward.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Our players look drunk

 

[Cyber_punk]

This will be 120+ if they decide to put the foot down - and they have incentive to, it will factor in to who finishes 5th, them or brissy

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

Well this is going well :sternlook

Heads dropped and lots of finger pointing at ground level. Not too many winners or even players who can say they broke even with their opponent.

 

[KangaRooster]

Not a single player can think their way through a contest...

Yeah, IQ standard across the team is below ground.

I don’t know if that’s a result of the skills being so shit they can’t trust each other, or they don’t watch enough tape, or have a good enough feel for the modern game.

 

[Hatchy1992]

I'm off to the pub. Need to drown my sorrows with beer.

 

[NMFC49]

Look at the last two minutes and just laugh. Sums up exactly where we are at. Pathetic.

This is hideous. Even I'm starting to question the culture of this club. Too much comfort and too back-slapping during the week. No pride by ANY of our senior players. Time has come for some serious review by the Board and our football department. If not, we will become irrelevant.

 

[Ischenko]

A lot of post-bye positivity is draining away. Do these guys just think it’s gonna “click” one day? Scott, Archer, Xerri always give their all. I’m positive generally but hard to see much ahead except misery pain and occasional flashes of brilliance.

 

[domiroo]

Get stuffed Sarah . Good to see your rabble won’t play finals either .

Could have had pick 1 and 2 think about that

I wish I was.....

Piss off! It’s not the ****ing issue!

 

[Psychic Roo]

The amount of times they're out the front of a stoppage...

The way i see it, jy is the defensive mid mostly. Thats why. And he fumbles if it goes his way. So, so out of form. His limitations are so hard to fix.

I have some bad news for you...

I suspect we'll see a fair bit more list turnover this year.

Brick by brick.

Forest from the trees though. No sheezel, comben or logue. That's three of our top ten players. Norths problem is still the bottom 5-10 players of the 22 aren't much chop, so we usually pay heavily when we need them to do something.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Exactly.

The better sides are clean, and are able execute basic skills under pressure.

They get torched by the best.

 

[CURVE]

That was our worst quarter for the season, perhaps our worst quarter this decade. I don't think there was a clean possession, we continually fumbled, missed targets and looked inept.

We made getting out of our own defensive 50 more complicated that Middle Eastern peace talks, and when we actually got the ball forward of the centre we either had no one to kick it too or kicked it to an opponent. The fact that we kicked a goal was a bigger miracle than a Bradbury Gold medal.

Think we have to start thinking of some difficult decisions on certain players… popular players…
Don’t think we will but we should

 

[archereleven]

The wheels have well and truly fallen off...

Until we get some experience on each line, this will repeat ad nauseum.

We need a Kolodjashnij/Tom McDonald

type down back, Viney type defensive mid in the centre square, and a tall forward that can take CMs regularly.

I wouldn't blame Clarko if he blew our whole draft hand on experienced players...

Yes it is every other club would have lost that game it’s one of the reasons we are crap
