GAME DAY

[Hells Gates 505]

Time in forward half: North 79% - Melb 21%

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

Im not watching or going for the rest of the year for my own sanity. Im a member buts it just too frustrating and painful. I will say that I like Garland up forward more than Rivers. I thought id just drop by and see what's happening and it sounds like the usual.

[beelzebub 22,257]

the word ..UGLY comes to mind !!!

[Matt Demon 1,387]

I've been watching Sylvia closely today, geez he's lazy.

[beelzebub 22,257]

Because they don't have the nous nor foresight or judgement to do things themselves during a game. I dare say the instructions are to provide a target when need be. Not looking around and realising what the team needs (ie that no one is in the goal square) is about instincts and smarts....which we lack.

Tony Shaws suggestion

"Try putting Tom Mc on Brent Harvey."

No thanks you dumbo.

Sylvia is having a shocker. He just stood there abd watched Moloney look for a target.

Think he ll be in trouble after today. Neeld gave him a chance, end lf a day a tiger dosnt change its stripes.

stupid is as stupid does !!

[BAMF 3,787]

The mids should just start going the torp into the forward line and hope it goes through for a goal.

I could never understand why Bailey played this way and now Neeld has adopted it.

If we have no one in the forward 50 we are not going to score goals. If we do not score goals we will continue to get smashed.

These umpires aren't helping our cause.

[Biffen 12,373]

Turnovers/clearances are the only difference between us and success .

But the numbers are huge.

And yet for some reason we all saddle up again the following week.

Gold Coast at the MCG. Might have a chance.

[beelzebub 22,257]

Does it now occur to some exactly what is going on regarding the offerings out of the coaches box ? Never could it be plainer ( to this observer ) that Neeld is giving players both the ample opportunity to showcase their wares and make a case for 2013 onwards.......and/or provide enough rope for others to hang themselves.

Some are just simply too stupid to realise they are in the crosshairs.

A couple more cards will be stamped after today

Nathan Jones' smother like a clap of thunder echoing in Etihad....

No....WE dont help our cause....the lazy and late to the ball will always be punished

Reason theres no forwards there is because theyr defener opponents go to the mid field. If they dont go with the defender then the ball wouldnt get past a few loose north players halfway down the field anyway.\(._. )\

[Face Your Demons 175]

belzebub59 I came to that conclusion some time back. It's the only reason some player could even be getting a game. I hope he has a lot of ink for the stamp pad.

[praha 10,305]

I smell a 100-point belting. I hope North don't pile on another 6-7 goals in the last...

[Biffen 12,373]

Dunn should soak up the AFL atmosphere for the next quarter and hold on to the memory .

[DeeZee 6,801]

I know Jordey is a good tackler, but he does nothing with the footy.

Spencer and Martin also liabilities.....too many passengers in this side .

[beelzebub 22,257]

The up side ??

I dont think theres enough time for a 186 repeat !!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

We won't be giving up any players to get Cloke, so I'd say our midfield certainly won't be harmed.

Agree Chook, but all Im saying is that if 2 players get 20% of the cap then can we afford to pay a decent midfield if we end up with one down the track.....

[Face Your Demons 175]

Can not blame the umpires for this stuff.

[beelzebub 22,257]

Lynden is DUNN !!

[Face Your Demons 175]

North has had at least 10 players play better then our best player so far. I not sure how we are only 10 goals down.

[Biffen 12,373]

What about his sky kicks?
