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

[Flawed Genius]

Jy is levelling up. 11 touches, 3 marks, 3 clearances and probably one or two little touches that won't count on the stats sheet but are just as important as a kick or a handball

 

[Tas]

Doesn't look like we have had issues with all the extra space on the flanks...

 

[Jonnoo]

We have a game plan, and can play tempo when required. Finally.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Well we using our one final win it looks like which will mean some creative experimenting in round 23 Horne cup

 

[Devington]

Wow very solid 1Q

Yet riddled with unforced errors.

For us it's great we can be dominant despite that, but **** me it aint great for Richmond that they can't capitalise.

 

[Samsquanch]

Realistically 2 goals less than par, but bloody ripper quarter.

 

[Horizons_00]

When’s the last time Richmond were goalless in the first quarter

 

[CURVE]

Good first quarter from the guys, look solid down back and dynamic in the middle. A little wasteful up forward, but we are still getting looks. Richmond's back 6 look panicky even this early in the game.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Good shit, love seeing the blue n white streaming forward after strangling Richmond defensively. We're playing instinctively and aggressively, big departure from the last 5 years.

 

[Tas]

Spoke too soon!

He has been pretty good in traffic before that, he is capable of kicking a goal or two, i doubt he would have nailed it from that distance/angle even if he took the mark.

 

[trooroo4life]

I’ll probably look like a clown in 30 mins, but I seriously can’t see how we lose this. There is nothing damaging about them, our defensive setup has them covered and we look likely to score everytime we get through the corridor. I can see a 5+ goal win here.

 

[chairo]

We are playing the AFL equivalent to tickitacka.

 

[Mav]

How bad is the wank fest the commentators are having over us. It’s appalling.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Do you watch the games?

Every one of them. For all the drive he gives us and the good kicks that gets us going, he still turns it over far too often coming out of half back, which is the most dangerous part of the ground to turn the ball over because it always ends up in an opposition scoring shot.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Amazing you practice your skills they improve, wow who would have thought

Lap it up it’s been a while

 

[hotchilli]

Some untidy forward entries but overall a very good quarter across the board.

 

[big_e]

Soooo, anyone know who the second best kid in the draft is?

 

[Shermanator]

Simpkin is so, so, good..

 

[Devington]

Stephenson's physicality confuses me. Even when I can see that his physical defensive efforts are effectual and paying off it still looks like he's trying to be as far away from physical contact as possible. I know in the interview with Silver earlier he showed a shelf of martial arts awards (judo?) so I wonder if in large part it's a technique thing that comes from that.

That said, there are definitely also times where he doesn't chase or really try to tackle.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Simpkin and Thomas unreal. Jed back to his very best that quarter, too.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Yeah, Dusty makes a difference Gaz.

So does the bloke who wears #10 for us.

 

[Horizons_00]

Gosh I love what Noble has done at this club.

Since the bye we have transformed. That is a super quick turnaround and I think there is still a huge amount of improvement.

Exciting times ahead

 

[Samsquanch]

Amazing you practice your skills they improve, wow who would have thought

Maybe that was the simple fix that Brad Scotts didn’t think of.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Hall should have lowered the eyes there instead of blasting to Stevo 1 v 2

No Wrong problem. The man with the long sleeves should have lead up to the ball carrier
