Game Day Round 6, 2021: North Melbourne vs Fremantle @ Optus Stadium | Saturday, April 24 @ 8:10pm [GAME ON; NO CROWDS]

[krakouers]

Do we have a fit forward that can actually mark the ball?

FIFY

 

[Snake_Baker]

fu** off look at the tape, the squib just lets players waltz through, I thought you were supposed to be a footy oracle, if you are playing in ball at least try to put up something in the way of resistance, and then actually chase if they happen to get past

Your ignorant angst does not qualify as constructive opinion.

 

[muttley45]

Are we the only ones constantly getting the not 15, play on call ?

 

[hcd199]

Appalling quarter. How easy do we want to make it for the Dockers to casually saunter forward out of every stoppage, through loose checking and limp defensive efforts? It's telling just how much different it gets when we do get it forward - it's either rebounded with little difficulty, or locked in for a series of stoppages, never is it so open as we routinely let our opponents have it. Flashes of the required effort now and again from us, and you'd say a fair number in the team have played decent games, but the system is completely broken at the moment - we're either aiming for methodical and measured but messing it up before we hit the middle of the ground, or we're blazing away to nothing in particular (and that includes the needless screw-kicks for goal from Zurhaar and Thomas), and don't seem to have much in the way of defensive intent to our structures. We just don't look like putting together consistently worthwhile passages of play at the moment...

 

[Mav]

Sometimes our positioning at stoppages/contests is just laughably bad, and we look like we are in ******* quicksand. What's that about?

I can only guess that it’s Nobles philosophy of teaching players to play in different position and guys are forgetting what role they are meant to be playing. Seeing Taylor free on the defensive side of a throw in while Fyfe is unattended at the ruckmans feet is just mind blowing.

Yeah mate that contest on the wing looked poor. Yep not fit, but he avoided it altogether

 

[TheKanga]

since when has Jmac been our runner?

I'd love him in the backline right now tbh

 

[Mav]

Have a bex pal

Give it a spell mate. Go iron your school uniform. You only see what you want to see.

 

[Le Grille]

Hey, retiring gun club veteranswith footy left in them in 2016, and then delisting 11 others last year was apparently a good idea.

Meanwhile Mundy is waltzing around at 35 and blitzing.

Not one of the 11 delisted could produce an eighth of what Mundy could.

**** you really think drew, spud, nds and boomer would still be useful?

Even then he kicks it a few metres away in the wrong direction so his teammate is running towards the opposition's goal. It actually has a negative effect because then the player needs to reset and the opposition zone is unfazed.

It's pathetic tbh. Both he and atley are killing us back there with momentum sapping moments every week. Yet they are our most experienced.

You only see what you want to see.

 

[the flying ham]

You left out the 5 turnovers.

No i didnt, i saw them. They have been horrible. But he has had his moments too which he would never acknowledge

He's clearly not fit, but hang on a minute and I'll see what my heightened emotions can fabricate as opinion.

This board is a football toilet.

 

[justroyal]

Does simpkin look late to tackles? Like most of the time he is just trying to reach out with a single hand? It's really starting to piss me off.

He’s a certified moron.

Tarrant

7 of our best 22, all senior bodies.

The cuts to the list last year isn't what's killing us, it's our injury list.

 

[Val Keating]

We have about four blokes who are genuine Afl standard. We are not truly competitive
We are at least 5 years away even if we start getting things right.

We’re as bad as any side over the last few years. Should definitely be asking for a priority pick.

 

[Jonnoo]

Pick 1 mid season draft locked in

 

[The Ardent Army]

Your ignorant angst does not qualify as constructive opinion.

No, it is 100% correct.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Do we have a forward that can actually mark the ball?

Yep Ben BRown

 

[Snake_Baker]

He’s been good and he has been good all year minus the yips

He's a classic example of a football moron detector.

JZ, Lindsay Thomas and Snake. Your three broken record posts.

 

[Horizons_00]

0 tackles...

 

[RossHenshaw]

Pick 1 mid season draft locked in

Pick 1 for the next 3 years locked in

 

[Groucho]

Do we have a forward that can actually mark the ball?

It’s a problem

 

[koshari]

Almost every player on our list would be the worst kick if they played for any other team. This list is just all sorts of poor.

Not Powell or stevo
