Game Day Round 21, 2021 | North Melbourne vs. Richmond @ MCG | Saturday, August 7 @ 4:35pm

Yeah I doubt if they've been instructed to do that.

Instructed? Absolutely not.

And I'm not suggesting they went out after half-time determined to lose.

But there's a big difference between giving 100%, and making some business decisions...

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Those kicks just shouldn’t happen.

 

[scottywiper]

Jed has been unsighted largely.
Campbell is terrible. Walker is good and bad at same time.
Not sure why Atu was dropped.
Shocking disposal errors in second half. Many by senior players.
Simpkin tried but does waste ball badly at times.
LdU good.
Zurhaar good again.
We would have won if we were efficient in first half.
Such is life
Horne is welcome!

 

[Flawed Genius]

Commentators now bored of this and discussing the Greene suspension

 

[Billy Not Really]

Switching off. This is just pox.

 

[Moti]

Bonar looking like his first game back in a while

Had an average game and looks like a guy who has missed a bit of footy. Need some games because his footy earlier this year was great.

Hmmmm that's a tough ONE. Can't th1nk of a s1ngle reason why our club m1ght have been content to play hard for 1 half and then throttle 1t back.

Mate, you can't honestly think we've deliberately did this in the second half?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Captain turns over at the start of the 3rd set the tone.

NACAH

I reckon it turned when Hall dropped the uncontested mark on the wing late in the second quarter. It started their run of goals.

 

[nelroo]

Listen to the commentary talking Richmond up like they are back.. FMD . Beating up on 18th

 

[Supa_Nova]

A lot of tired bodies. We still aren’t fit enough yet. It’ll come.

this is somewhat true, but also we have had some serious travel and small breaks over the last month. Might find our last fortnight we fall off a cliff, and it wont be anything to worry about.

 

[The acurate one]

To the average viewer, no. To our players and to our club, yes they will remember it.

No they won't , shit they've got at least 15 losses to recall if that's the case. This means nothing and there is not a footballer who will recall this loss at any stage of their career.

 

[amaz199]

I reckon when we were 'on fire' the only bloke giving us something forward was Cam.

Larkey has been non existent and if your best forward is not playing well, it's hard with a side still developing.

 

[Liam Boy]

Tarryn doesn't look quite right

 

[Horizons_00]

Thomas looks lost out there today

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Zero focus.

The coach tanks via the magnets, I doubt there's ever any sort of direct instruction to a playing group

 

[BigRedRoo]

FFS hit the target with the HP.

 

[scottywiper]

Bit gutted. Our endeavour 1st half was spot on but we gifted them to many rebounds or looks just like we did Geelong.

2nd half probably the 1st genuine balls up in the last 2 months.

Atu was exactly the type we needed on their mosquitoes very strange decision that one.

I’ve been a big Campbell advocate but he didn’t exactly seize his opportunity unfortunately. I’m sure he was digging in but it didn’t work and it might’ve finished off his time on the list sadly,

Why would you rate Campbell? Lol.

 

[Liam Boy]

One of Jed's worst games since he moved into the midfield

 

[amaz199]

Some dreadful kicking in the 1st half kept Richmond in it and it was the firestarter.

 

[Moti]

Bonar again. Nearly stuffed that up. Lol

Must be struggling to adjust to remote learning again I see

I don’t think Hall can actually handpass

I hate the vibe when we’re losing of “lol they’re shit” about the opponent.

We can and should have put them to the sword. A few reality checks dealt out this week.

 

[Tas]

If we could hit our forwards like we hit Richmond defenders lace out, we would be a great team.

37 from LDU is the bright spark.
