Autopsy Round 8 North Melbourne vs Collingwood

[Sphynx]

No where near 35k.. level 2 was vacant.

Well I was on level 2 and it sure as shit wasn’t empty

Noble needs to implement a fine for anybody who kicks sideways or behind, which doesn't lead to a kick forward to a player in space* . We are shooting ourselves in the foot with these slow, defensive plays because we don't have the skills and confidence to pull them off. We kick too slow, too short in the back half and every little error is punished to the fullest. Then the players get too scared to take the game on which leads to more errors and more easy goals.

As disappointing as the loss was, I was happy to see that the guys fought it out and won the third and fourth quarters. Once again we had a poor second quarter, but this time Collingwood didn't totally blow us away like some other teams have this year. There were a couple of poor shots at goal from Zurhaar and Goldstein they normally would convert that would have kept us in the game and a few bizarre decisions and non decisions that all went the Pies way that also kept them out reach, but we continued to fight.

*It's not going to happen because we will get blown out of the water every game.

The zurhaars deliberate call was cringeworthy.

I was waiting for a 50m after Zurhaars cheeky grin it was that horrid.

I normally don’t yell at the umpires but I found it quite liberating experience, they really were f*n annoying today

Can never be bothered worrying about umpiring normally, absolutely furious with those maggots today. And decisions both ways too, one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen in a while and nothing will be done about it which is a joke.

Has overtaken some of our players that have played way more games.

He’s overtaken 90% of them.

With the state of umpiring this sport is becoming more and more a lucky dip.

Players don’t even know what they are blowing their whistle for half the time.

The umpiring was so poor again. There is no consistency. The AFL is broken atm.

I was trying to be polite

Tom Powell never wastes a possession. Need more players like him.

Yet half the time he was stuck in the fwd line. Needs to be getting more midfield time

 

[archereleven]

Powell is our second most composed player behind Cunners. He has played 8 games.

He made 1 mistake tonight when he handballed inside 50 to a stationary team mate under pressure when he should if kicked it.

I just want people to know after 8 games I've found something.

Plays like a hundred gamer. Can't wait until he puts on 6-7kg of mass and can gut run all game. Little ripper.

Games are now being decided by what is blatant cheating and incompetence.

It’s a pretty clear indication that Noble took a backhand swipe at the shit that happened today.

For him to even mention that he will seek clarification on some of the decisions today, shows he suspects something was up with the garbage we had to put up with today.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Watching on mute is the only way to go.

Honestly the best decision I have ever made. Never going back.

Margetts called him to play on, the blokes a cheating campaigner.

Same ******t that told DeGoey to get out of the protected area instead of making the correct decision and pay the 50.

Bloke isn’t even subtle with how he cheats now, because he knows it won’t get called out.

Zurhaar boggled it and the umps called play on, they must’ve thought it came off hands..
on replay that clearly wasn’t the case.

A shame it cuts out at 5 min 46 sec of a 10 min presser but thanks for posting.

It was Margetts taking an opportunity to fist us.

There was no way he could have even thought that wasn’t a clean mark, he just decided to call play on because he is a cheating piece of shit.

On the replay the angle is shit house.

Can't say if the umpire paid the mark or not. Audio only picks up a play on call after Zurhaar takes a few quick steps.

Umpires hands did not appear to signal a mark but again the angle is shit so I'm not sure.

Not much we can do about it, no point getting frustrated about it, he saw it differently…

 

[WD Roo]

What shit me even more was at the end of the 3rd qtr and DG was all over JZ and the umps just called play on. If the shoe was on the other foot DG would have had 7

How ducking hilarious will it be when Campbell gets the well deserved contract extension. The ziebull might implode

Can only hope. Recognition where it’s due, Campbell is growing in confidence. The ziebull bloke can nick off.
