Autopsy Pain v Godeez

[Val Keating]

They’re applauding the competitiveness.
Not the loss.

I’m so happy we can start to feel proud of this team again.

As a North supporter living in Adelaide, I haven’t had this many texts (over the last two weeks) since our 2014/15 finals runs.

I hate that we lost, but I also applaud the effort.

Fair

A GoDees mate of mine reckons they had a younger team on the park than us - is that true?

We were a bit younger. A season younger in games, GoDees had 9 players over 150 games

 

[The Talent Scout]

Dunno about that, we have FINALLY found a small quick defender to go with those types that normally shred us. Only taken us 15 years.

YES! I believe Taylor Swift has a song about him, its called "THE ARCHER"!

 

[gokangas]

Also, a massive shout-out to the fans who were there. Not a huge crowd, 28K, but on a cold night between a team who's going bottom 2 for the fifth year, and one full of premiership players aiming for finals for the fourth straight year it was OK.

Funny thing was, the fans who were loudest and probably highest in number were for the bottom team. It was very enjoyable down the city end where it was almost exclusively North.

Mate, it was freezing.

 

[The Talent Scout]

It hurts more now. Last week, this week. Killing me. Im ageing faster

Tell me about it! when this all clicks together, and it will, trust me, it will be like you've found the fountain of youth!

 

[danj]

Archer. Take a bow son. You are doing your old man proud.

The great man with lil Danj last night

[Cool Kangas]

Watching back the replay. Melbourne were shitting themselves in that last quarter. They absolutely hate fast football.

Another 30 seconds, we win. Easily.

Shouldn’t have let it blow out initially. So frustrating.

Good genetics in your family

Have to admit i didn't think he was quick enough for it. Thats not to say i didnt think he could become a player for us.

 

[R00StaR]

Have to disagree, im happy with the improvement, but I’m not going to applaud a loss.

We're applauding them sticking fat, working to get where they are and their effort.
Its showing our appreciation for the team's efforts not celebrating the result.

 

[Topparoo]

Whilst the loss hurt I left the game last night buoyed by the comeback albeit just falling short at the end. I would much prefer to be a North supporter than Dees at this time as we are the little red train wagon going up the hill "i think I can!" The Dees however are on the other side of the curve, their absolute best is behind them and whilst they will be very competitive there will be a gradual decline in their ageing stars and then a significant drop off. As our self belief as a team grows our curve will continue in an upward trend. I am absolutely confident of this now, and it is the youngsters that we have brought in over the last two off seasons that gives me this confidence. The will to win that is innate in Georgie and Sheez will drag the rest of the group along for the ride. Seriously, why would LDU and Zurrhar want to get off this ride now. Fun times ahead for us kanga supporters.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Yep, try and get something for TT. We can’t lose such a talent for nothing

Not gunna happen.

It was great, but keep in mind they're missing their best mid. Take LDU, Sheezel or Wardlaw out of last nights team theres no chance we're that close.
We need to get better again, and we will.

 

[RightWingRoo]

yes my north jacket also good pooed on. Just as they got that free kick goal to get it out to 33 or so. Went to clean it off came back dee's didn't get another

Seagulls probably made up 10,000 of the 28,000 last night haha

We were a bit younger. A season younger in games, GoDees had 9 players over 150 games

That's what you look for on age. Nine 150 game players to our two. Solid leaders, premiership players, All-Australians who have played together for a decade vs Luke McDonald and Liam Shiels.

 

[RandB]

I think the style of footy your team is trying to play is the encouraging thing.
Quite bold and positive, similar to Hawthorn in a young team taking the game on.

You're doing it for longer patches now and the younger players would be seeing that hard work and having a crack is showing better results.

Frustration is slowly transforming into hunger.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Wonder how long I'll have to wait to see a North line-up where McDonald, Pink, Tucker and Taylor are replaced by Hardeman, Logue, Duursma and McKercher.

 

[Sphynx]

I said the same after last weeks loss.

The most promising thing for me is you couldn’t build in a lab two young prospects more perfectly suited to inject into this lineup long term than McKercher and Duursma.

We’ve done everything the last few weeks without them and we’ve seen what 30-50 games does.

They are both highly mercurial game breaking talents that compliment everything we have seen on the ground turn in the last 3 weeks, mainly around contested ball midfield dominations.

Archer was unreal last night, Harry and George are the absolute definition of players you can build you side around.

We got the good CZ last night and LDU is hitting top gear with finally some genuine support.

We did all this despite Larkey having virtually zero impact on the game.

like renaissance, thankfully prior to leaving the club this time.

Another shout to Xerri, Gawn is probably the best ruckman of the modern era and the first person he mentioned after the game was Tristan. He’s a genuine monster that every ruckman in the game will dread playing given his pure physicality and power.

 

[Caracas]

Nearly stole that game but unfortunately only showed up for a quarter. There were alot of positives but one of the big one's for mine was actually the north supporter base in the last quarter.

For the first time in a long time we became the 19th man, we need to bring that much noise and support every game. I think it had a lot to do with the momentum swing.

We showed up for two quarters. We just didn’t kick straight in the second one. Interestingly, 16 of the 19 goals were kicked to the Punt Road end

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Why is it always us that got "a couple of lucky frees".

Even when they weren't lucky, and we've been reamed all game.

Every other team that makes a come back does so on merit apparently.

There were more Nm colours on the train going than I have seen in ages. Almost level with MFC colours in their heartland of Malvern line ! Crowd were great

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Any reason why more than half of our inside 50s were kicked to a giant pack like 8 year old playing starlight?

The first half featured too many dumb kicks inside 50 which played into the hands of their interceptors.

Same thing on my train!

Bloody hell you'd think it was our home game.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Old Maxy Gwarn isn't afraid to tug a jumper either, especially as he knows there's no penalty likely to be paid against him.

Shoved X in the back about four times clearly with no penalty and almost put a saddle on him climbing all over him in Q2 about 20 out and still no penalty.
