Game Day North Vs the Dogs....

[FootySmartSimpson]

Too many talls seems to be hurting them. They are getting in each other s way

Well if that is the case, we are in no way taking any advantage.

 

[Horizons_00]

Were missing Wardlaw and our midfield isnt applying enough pressure / missed tackles

As a result our defence is under the pump

Credit to our backline that quarter. We’d be 60 points down at halftime in an equivalent game last year.

The CHF gap for us is as stark as ever today. Just hope Teakle can pluck one or two and get his confidence up.

Oh, and give P Curtis a short run on the ball at some stage

 

[The acurate one]

The void between his best and worse is like the Mariana Trench.

His lack of pace and inability to position himself for easy receives is his achilles heal, when playing this type of pacey opponent. imo.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Easiest move to make at the half is Will onto Bont.
Would rather him move forward so the mids can get to work

Will would be giving up about 15 cm and 15 kg.
Not sure how it would go.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Bont the main difference here imo. He's an incredible player and showing it, whereas our star mid in LDU has been poor

 

[Samsquanch]

Umpires doing their usually trash north / fall for player panto tricks obvious from a mile out.

Dogs have a few blokes who cheat for frees like weight man for sure but they were gifted several even when they weren't playing for tricks.

Reckon Xerri is absolutely monstering English. He hasn't got near it.

 

[Val Keating]

GO SHORT YOU ABSOLUTE ****ING IDIOTS! LONG BOMBS DOWN THE LINE ARE PUNISHING US

100%

roof closed perfect conditions and 3 goals on the board.
Agree Teakle needs to lift , he's been fumbly

Yes but just saying could be a lot worse. Worried about 2nd half

 

[Samsquanch]

was that our first goal less quarter for the year?

Second

 

[Cool Kangas]

So frustrating.

I had to check the AFL app to confirm that Teakle was actually playing.

 

[domiroo]

Hahaha they got as many frees as we did . This biased umpires are a joke . I know there were head high ect to the dogs but gee North isn’t getting much . Hard yakka to get a free .

 

[sheridan]

Bont the main difference here imo. He's an incredible player and showing it, whereas our star mid in LDU has been poor

yep and Bont was under an injury cloud coming in theres the difference. should win Brownlow imo this year..

Reckon he had at least 2 marks disallowed because a dogs player came late and smashed it out of his hands.

 

[JGreezy]

Reckon Xerri is absolutely monstering English. He hasn't got near it.

He's proving that he's a top 2 Ruckman in the comp. And he ain't number 2.

 

[Roos92]

Mckercher and Wardlaw will make a massive difference to this team in coming years. At the moment there are 3-5 too many below afl standard kicks in the team. It's costing our ball movement massively.

 

[Moti]

They spread and we are all over the shop. Stephen’s, Wardlaw and Colby help this immeasurably. Fair to say, none of our kids can spread well.

Midfield getting utterly pantsed, defence holding up admirably but the dam wall will break if we don't start winning the footy. This I50 disparity can't be sustained.

The longer we take the longer their talls get to set up and continue to dominate.

We may get opened up but the only way I see us winning is taking the game on, going for it flat out run and gun style.

Caution to the wind boys.

 

[Kanga1996]

Our midfield looks lost at times without Wardlaw.

Quite simply, Phillips wouldn't be able to go with Bont. He wouldn't slow him down and then Treloar is off the chain. Then you deal with both.

Would rather him stay on Treloar where he is being effective. Bont is borderline untaggable.

 

[bennymate]

They'll kick away this quarter sadly

 

[hotchilli]

Weightman is really hard to like as a footballer. Just spends way too much time playing for free kicks.
