Autopsy The King influences Umpires a win over North by 3 points... #jessiewhitesque

[MF]

Shit way to win, but at the end of the day it was a deserved free kick and we needed some luck to finally go our way somewhere.

Some of our mids had okay games but absolutely smashed in the clearances again today. I have no idea what the answer to that is, but clearly neither do our coaching staff.

Anyway, we got the W and it seemed to mean a lot to the players. Lets hope it's enough of a spark to get some semblence of momentum into our season.

Thread title should be:

Sydney beat North 74 to 76

Incorrect.

Ticky009 can we please rename the thread.

"The return of Jesse White, Sydney come from behind to defeat Norf"

Thanks

 

[kickthething]

Not denying the negatives

but my thoughts as fans are enjoy a win, its only the fourth this year

so wont mention negatives here at all.

Parker was excellent cant fault that intensity

Warner was excellent in attack in the last, Buddy stood up

I think the defence was unorganised but is our most lacking area, so I would say Fox Gould Francis did well

and mcandrews debut showed a little


but yeah enjoy a win, thats all we can do, if you pick the wins to pieces which you can then you end up miserable


oh lol norf



and finally my best post ever just before the free

See, manners are important.

needs more freedom by the looks he's got it back maybe. His kicking was best I've seen from him

 

[The King!]

Is Naismith a chance mid year draft comeback?

Ladhams might miss a couple of months

 

[TheMase]

McAndrews looks likely long term

22yo ruckman being called upon to play against Goldstein who is still a top ruckman.

20HO, 9 possies, 6 contested.

Likely 18 months away But showed a lot to work with.

Yep and I dare say the plan was to sub him out for Sheldrick later in the game but Ladhams going down obviously forced him to play the game out.

 

[lazy77]

Probably the lowest I've felt after a win

Aw come on, a win's a win. We definitely deserved to lose, but got lucky for once. Thank god it was North. No other team would've given it away like that.

 

[the hypnotoad]

this is so far from our best team ... this tough run could be the making, and the waking up, of a lot of the young players
key injuries, morale-crushing injuries, and some spirit-crushing losses, no doubt we've struggled
but that kind of weird "miracle" win, who knows ...
and even if this season ends up a disappointment, hopefully we look back on this dreadful past month as some kind awakening

footnote: what will be really amusing is when the afl announce on monday they did a recount and found north in fact had not gone over the interchange limit, and that it was an official's error

Suspect correct, as Mclean seemd to ruck most of the last iirc

 

[bloodsbigot]

Did it kinda surprise anyone else to see Heeney in the midfield suddenly? I found that quite odd. Big call by the coaches in the dying minutes. Led to a goal. Unless Heeney just disobeyed orders and just did it himself?

 

[Tedeski]

Well. They screwed up.
Black and white

Blue & white screw up.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Perhaps a draw would of been more fitting

I think it would have been, to win it on a BS free like that, no not a win.
They have an injury list as long as ours and a younger, less experienced team so it should never have gotten to that .

 

[zyzzbruh]

Winning this game could be alot more important than what we are giving credit for. The boys aren't going to be rolling into the motions of another week on the back of a deflating loss.

 

[kickthething]

Is Naismith a chance mid year draft comeback?

could do worse

 

[kangle4]

Loved Bud today.
He gets such a raw deal from the umps.

 

[SSwans2011]

With Ladhams likely goneski - I actually don’t mind the thought of McLean being a ruck.

Does a good job.

Problem is he's also our best key forward at the moment, IMO.

We desperately need Amartey back. Not sure we expected to be saying that at the start of the season.

 

[Jeffers]

Just saw that Ladhams was at the team song, looks like a bad ankle and no break thank god.

 

[Dan87]

That wasn't a win

Oh it totally was

A great one

 

[bloodsbigot]

Ladhams is made of glass.

If he wants to get injured again, yes

Thread title should be:

Fix that for you

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Looked the same as Logan - ankle turned outwards.

6-8 weeks.

Ladhams is an interesting one, looks like he has done a decent injury…becoming a thing for him.

 

[coach beard]

Loved Bud today.
He gets such a raw deal from the umps.

His tackling was good today, this has always been an underrated part of his game

 

[MK38]

Well. They screwed up.

Yep their fault. If that was us losing that way I am sure a lot on here would be saying how incompetent the club is.

 

[the hypnotoad]

Only one thing to take out of the game and it was the last 3 minutes. Agressive desperation to will the ball forward. Thats how we played all year last year. Shame it took till the death of the game to show itself but it's clearly in them, held back by a lack of confidence.

exactly ... and while it was a bizarre call that won the game, there were several close things in our forward half in those last few minutes, any one of those moments could've gone our way and ended in a game winner ...
