Game Day Round 1: North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Adelaide Crows @ Etihad Stadium

[TubbsFarquhar]

I don't usually say this but the umps got them back in this game

No, we lost it through dumb football.

 

[fatbarber]

2% better and we would have had this! Should have been bigger in defence!! - In retrospect it seems an amateur mistake.

 

[Bay62]

Gotta say I agree with the universal. With our first 9 weeks. We'll probably be 1-8 if we're lucky. This is the easiest game we had and we blew it.

On the other hand we've got new players and a new game plan

We got close and will improve from here

 

[Archie87]

Barely anyone can hold there heads high after that one. Douglas/Matt Crouch and not much else IMO. Should have won that one.

 

[Sanders]

The comentators incorrectly called it VB when it was Crouch. Rewatch it.
Sigh...

I was ****ing watching it.

 

[earlsta]

Most/many have picked North for the top 4. No way this was the easiest

lol! There's no way in hell North are a top 4 side.
Most "experts" are people like Rucci, people that are wannabes.

 

[Magma]

game fell apart after crouch's moronic elbow. hard game for some of the younger guys but there were a couple of older blokes who did not stand up when they had to. again.

 

[Crows I Am]

Too many stupid errors and costly turnovers at crucial times. Should have won this one

 

[Mego Red]

dont tell me what I was referring to. horrible VB kick in the 50 a few minutes ago. a scrubber kick.

That kick was Brad Crouch. The commentators called it as Van Berlo and were wrong.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Defence got pumped. Midfield pumped. Van Berlo was weak as piss.

 

[Cleric]

Safe to say we have some work to do.
New coach, our best player gone, unfit players like Brad Crouch selected as well as poor selections in defence and midfield.

 

[Glenno23]

Our ball movement was quick, but was shit. Poor discipline and poor options equals a loss. We were all over them in the first half, but looked dead on our feet after looking pretty fit in NAB

Shit way to start the year. A win was on the books and we threw it away

 

[Bonkers000]

I'll rephrase it. I rate north the worst out of those teams, when taking into consideration our record against them, and there round 1 record. So in my opinion, we just blew the easiest game of the first 9 weeks. But yes, opinions do differ.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I don't usually say this but the umps got them back in this game

The umps gave us the lead in the first place though

 

[BACCS]

Poor discipline is the only thing to blame tonight, we let them back in it through stupidity

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Only ourselves to blame with poor discipline

Got sucked in & handed them the momentum in the 3rd quarter. Game changer.

 

[SydCrow]

Needed to take our chances. Milera and Mitch and Eddie. Stupid 50s. B Crouch looking like a bloke who didn't play last week. D/H.

 

[Magma]

Like that Elimination Final last year. Oh wait...

Not good enough tonight folks.

one game doesn't change my sentiment. time and again the players let themselves down in front of goal. been a massive problem for so, so long.

 

[whitey_1975]

Brouch will be better for the run, Jacobs cant be that bad again, rat was quiet as, some dumb footy, vb, dmac, mcgovern out, cey, knight and Cameron in

 

[MRB37]

Time to make some tough calls on some players methinks.

 

[Redleg Crow]

I'll rephrase it. I rate north the worst out of those teams, when taking into consideration our record against them, and there round 1 record. So in my opinion, we just blew the easiest game of the first 9 weeks. But yes, opinions do differ.

Richmond are much worse. They struggled to beat Carlton

 

[the universal]

We played a team who finished 4th FFS

Again, with the opportunity and lead we had, we should have beaten them and not this sorry excuse for a final quarter.

[latinoheat]
