Game Day Round 18, 2023 : North v Hawthorn, 1:10pm, Marvel stadium

[SSSSSS]

The telecast trying to get Newcombe rubbed out for low impact intentional antisemitism.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Box Hill was on 6.13.49 beforehand. They've just kicked 3 in a row. Perhaps there is hope for our goal-kicking yet.

Dylan Moore has 17 disposals but I don't think he's been great.
Nash's first quarter awesome, quieter in the second.
Newcombe got a little fired up. Moved to forward flank and we lost a lot of drive.
Mitch Lewis just can't get near it - looks really out of touch.
Bad goalkicking makes everything look worse
Worpel playing really well - has been a positive.
Sicily started to get more involved (mainly because the ball was down there a lot more).

If we were 8-8 in stead of 3-13 we'd be feeling great right now.
I'm not angry, just disappointed.

I actually can't watch this sort of match. We are miles better than them. Game should be over. There getting all their score from counter attack and a bit of luck. Completely owning this game but because we kick for goal like a bunch of numpties we are wasting all the hard work up the field. Mitchell should be fuming at what is going on. I could be kicking most of these goals.

Trade and draft period focus. It's terrible. An average AFL forward line would have put the game away at quarter time.

Our forward line is simultaneously small, slow and unskilled.

An awfull trifecta!

 

[TassieGrown]

Being held goal less in the 2nd is really unbelievable, such a hard watch.

Looks like our Vic members as usual haven’t turned up to an away game.

Same, not angry as I’m not really surprised.
Get DGB on, plonk him forward and see if he can kick straight.

 

[Davo23]

But are we winning the clearances?

That something to aim for …

 

[Dr.J]

We are too heavy up forward with both Lewis and a resting ruck
It simply doesn’t work
We have four crumbing forwards in the team and not one has been effective to date
Neither has our sole second marking option
Sam you picked it - time to shuffle it and make it work

 

[TylerDurden]

Sheezel absolutely destroying us.

Reckon we pull the sub now. The 2 ruck thing just never works.

 

[TazHawk15]

Reeves should have eaten it up but Sicily also didn't need to compete for the same ball.

I think what you meant to say is Sicily ****ed up, in no way can you blame Ned for that.

 

[Stranglers]

Might need to reconsider our fwd line coach for next year. This is painful.

Who is forward coach this year?

 

[TylerDurden]

Who is forward coach this year?

Newman.

 

[TazHawk15]

Who is forward coach this year?

Mr Magoo.

 

[chrismew2]

What time do the seniors start!!!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

North 12 free kicks in the 2nd quarter, Hawthorn 0.

 

[Stranglers]

Newman.

Weird because I actually had him pegged as a pretty good coach.

Yep, the two ruck thing only works if they have other football skills, like marking and kicking, otherwise they are just statues. I miss David Hale.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Must... not..... rage..... they're..... trying... to kick goals..... only human.

5 complete plum pudding sitters missed from us.

Fergy, Chad, Breust, Finn, impey shockers.

5 sitters in a half under a roof lol. You could not make that up if you tried.

 

[Jazzfan]

Here live.

We carry too many liabilities. Chiefly Greene and Reeves.

Lewis and the team's form turned to shit when Kosi was dropped. Something in that.

It did against Brisbane and Saints. The rucks aren't the issue, it's goal accuracy.

Our fans are very fairweather and entitled when it comes to 1. Supporting our team, 2. Attending games at a fantastic secondary stadium in the CBD

This is a very hard game to watch. Skills are virtually non existent from either team. We have been dragged down to North’s level.

I guess green shoots don’t go so well in autumn

 

[Mrzohs]

Honestly i think the last month we have gone backwards a few notches.

-Very hard to win games when you don't have a traditional center half forward most weeks.
- The midfield is on top but we are missing genuine line breakers they are pretty average in transition.

You combined those two and you just have a very dis jointed set-up forward off the ball.
