[Max Powers]

Give Gunners one more year!

And Cal his rising star nom.

Gee Weagles stinking it up, at least it’s in our own hands next week

Superb first quarter. Good last quarter.

The middle two quarters were pretty terrible - but Richmond deserve some credit for not letting us get into a rhythm. Hopefully that's a learning experience for Mitchell and the players, so they can work out what to change up when the opposition is shutting us down.

If you told me at the start of the game we'd have won by 11 goals, and had nearly 40 shots on goal I'd have been happy. But given we were 50 points up at quarter time it was a bit disappointing in the end.

The injuries to Day and Scrimshaw are shattering, they have been two of our top five players this season. Edit: seems that it's been the best case scenario for us.

I had hoped Mackenzie would be more involved, especially with Day being subbed out early.

Sicily, Weddle, Ginnivan and Nash all had poor or quiet games too.

Newcombe, Worpel, D'Ambrosio, Gunston, Scrimshaw, Moore, Dear (goal kicking aside), Watson, Amon, Frost and Hardwick were all great. Chol was too selfless at times.

 

[ahhhhhh]

That was the most frustrating game of football I’ve ever watched.

Seamus in next week, 37 possies 12 marks 2 goals in a lost was very good effort for BH

Any idea why Serong didn't play?

 

[Wile E Coyote]

Think I'll just tee up that first quarter on repeat on Kayo.

 

[FB19]

First quarter amazing then were beaten for the ball and totally in the air quarters 2/3. Last quarter was pure junk time. We didn’t try to defend as needed. I can’t recall seeing a single attempt to spoil in that time certainly there would have been very few. But that’s ok got the win lessons to learn would have been a satisfactory Sunday except for the Day injury. Fingers and toes crossed.

 

[Max Powers]

Glad we won and 60 points is a good margin, but would be lying if I said that there weren't parts of that game that were frustrating. Also can't get over Day, poor bloke can't take a trick.

 

[The hands of stone]

Shattered for Day . Important we quickly reset now . Massive opportunity in an even comp .
Reckon Scrim will be OK.

Loved how we put them to sleep early. Yes was frustrating after but a 10 goal win is nothing to sneeze at .

We need to repeat this next week . Get North out of there early .

Dear must get the RS now . Way too much body of work to be ignored now

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Any idea why Serong didn't play?

I think he was the carry over player if there was a late out

 

[Hodgey 15]

Good win at end of day.
If any team is going to need that week's break before finals we certainly do.
No matter how fit and how much momentum we've had behind us, it must have taken a shitload out of the players since bye.
Let's get North done and get too it.

 

[grugyeah]

My thoughts are as below

. Shocking game to watch. Wouldn't have beaten a half decent side
. Ginnivan has been poor for a few weeks
. Sicily is a good player but when he has a stinker, he really has a stinker!
. Watson. Played well but should have had a couple more. Still needs huge work on his kicking.
. Mabior was awful but he was overdue for one.
Amon and Mass were the cool heads we needed. Both were fantastic

Fingers crossed Day can play again this season. Our midfield really needs him for finals
Newcombe and Scrimshaw hopefully ok too.

Just on your thoughts:

1. Can't compare these sorts of games with a hypothetical - we would have played differently vs a decent side.
2. Ginniyan has been fine, in fact, I feel he is more willing to play the team game vs getting runs on the board.
3. Sicily is injured....
4. Would like to know what specifically you mean about 'needs work on kicking' - if at goal, other than the one shot, all of them were easily explained by pressure
5. Mabior was great other than his shots on goal (and they weren't 45 out directly in front).

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Also, congratulations to Morrison for the milestone. True clubman on and off the field.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Played good and bad, 60 points so good for % but could’ve and should’ve been 120+

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Blues will be on top of us the way Eagles are playing they are smashing them

 

[Stratton_Gun]

If Scrimshaw has a broken finger, how many weeks is that?

 

[I got the outside word]

Just got to the car from the game. Really should have won by more. Big win but after quarter time there were some periods where it looked like we were just screwing around.

Anyway, important 4 points and still improved our percentage.

Daughter needed the toilet so I missed what happened to Day, any light shed on that yet?

You have triggered me lol, I don't know why.... ZERO - who the **** doesn't play with a broken finger.

[Buzz Hawk]

Bank the four points. Move on.
Lots to like, lots to learn.
But Daysie…

We needed to really put Richmond to the sword.

Hopefully the North players are thinking about their holidays next week.

 

[Jethro!]

On my way home after finally giving the Jethro curse the hearse. What I want to know is whether or not I should watch the replay when I get home? Thoughts?

Dear, Gunna, Scrim, Newk, Worp and Moorey massive all arvo.
Ginni looked a bit tired, hunched over a lot. Siss and Nash a bit off.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Good news regarding Day and Scrimshaw is seems. We can breath a sigh of relief.

Looks like Clarko rested a couple. Reckon they'll be up for a fight. Hopefully really hurt their feelings though
