Game Day Round 2 vs Norf; What does a robot think about all this?

[luthor]

Such a big NM win they played their song twice

Pardon the intrusion but you should be proud of that effort. Absolute guts

If not for some missed opportunities and some dodgy umpiring, you might well have come away with a famous win.

As for Norf......pffftt.....pathetic!!

 

[Spod]

Honestly, the only disappointing thing there was that we somehow got in a position where we could have won it. Extraordinary effort and plenty of good signs from the regulars and the young brigade.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

To be fair, in that instance McGovern was on Goldstein. Larkey's direct opponent was Jamieson who let him get a clear run and jump over Hurn.

McGovern was right to give him a serve.

Larkey had 5 goals at that point . If only we had a million dollar key defender to play on him .

 

[Dark Sharks]

Even if he kicked the snag, which he totally should have, as it's legit what he's paid to do, and an under 12's player could've kicked it...

This miss just summed up his horrible horrible afternoon. I'm sure he's aware of just how bad he was, but an out of confidence Darling isn't what we want.

He won't play that bad again. Needed to get that out of his system after no pre season games (yes by his own choice).

Is he overpaid? Absolutely. Just like Kelly and McGovern (who played very well today after how long being shit?).

It's a 23 round season. He'll have plenty of time to win you over, but blaming him for today's loss is silly. It was clearly Ainsworths fault.

 

[BartBart]

A lack of serious injury (maybe depending on Nelson's status) was a positive.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Dark Sharks earning his pay as Darling's sponsor.

Should have picked a decent 2022 player like Aaron Black

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

you silly kent.

'did his own research' rather that listen to Simmos gameplan today.

I think Hurn took Larkey. McGovern was saying he needed to come over the top as the big man. Quie right too as there were eagles players already crumbing. he didn’t berate him but just indicated he should have come in. Best time to give the advice

Playing off an injury too, not fully fit and in a forward line without so much as a resting ruckman for support.

He's not reason we lost, the AFL/Covid is.

He did the right thing, against his wishes, I hope he has a great year. Don't understand the angst.

 

[Balls In]

get used to it bro we are not going to win many games this year

just enjoy it give the youngens a crack...get a good draft pick and we will be strong again in a few years time

Yeah see I must be one of the odd ones out who thinks our squad is good enough to contend this year. Today was a travesty.

 

[Dylan82]

Great effort by the team to make a contest out of farce.

Some better accuracy in front of goal and not so many questionable 50m calls against and we could have pinched an unbelievable result.


The match should never have been allowed to go ahead. But the league has no interest in integrity, so we are now 0-2 after arguably the two easiest matches in the fixture.

At the very least we found out further confirmation that many of the members that are currently on the senior list are inferior to players making the rounds in the WAFL.

If Darling had your hunger for the contest he would have kicked 5.

Nah not with the amount of injuries and COVID striking the club..thats going to take weeks to rectify ..to get it back to normal maybe by the halfway point of the season... and by then our season is gone

I am not expecting much to be honest.. I will amazed if we crack 7-8 wins ..bottom four most likely

just embrace it and enjoy it ...get the high draft pick at the end of the year ...reset and have a crack again in a few years time

 

[Dark Sharks]

If Darling had your hunger for the contest he would have kicked 5.

He would've kicked 15 kent, and Noble would be sacked by now.

 

[Bacchus]

Horrid umpiring, cost us the game.

 

[DanWCE]

Btw I can't believe I'm doubling my money with a 25.5 line on North today.

Surely everybody is getting a piece of that?

 

[Avalor]

Just watched the highlights - the umpiring was putrid - especially those 2 50metre penalties, absolute horsepoo!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The poor get poorer!

 

[HoneyBadger35]

The poor get the Eagles to pay for their existence!
