Does anyone else disagree with the NT game?

I know there are financial incentives to play here but there are rewards to winning and laying finals as well.

Every time we look like kicking a goal that might get us firing up, someone misses. I reckon if we'd put a few of those through it might have been enough to get us going.

New half up soon though and a chance to start again. I'm not throwing in the towel just yet.

 

Young side. Not surprising. Kent and omac need shrink for the way they are playing.

Gotta laugh at the ignorant posters blaming our backline. They are smashing us in the middle. Given the time the balls been in our backline, we are lucky they have only kicked 7 goals.

Poor delivery into forward line again this week and far too many tackles missed.

Tackling like basketballers. They need some lessons in tackling from Melbourne Storm. Agree this is like Essendon and St kilda games. Nobody preventing the coast to coast movement of the ball out of our forward line down the boundary to their goal.

Beg to differ....jones IS the only player trying his hardest

He is trying but isnt playing well

Where's the individual accountability with a zone defence where players guard space? A player can always say "I wasn't on that one guy so that mark and goal wasn't my responsibility". Sure it's not as simple as that, but some of these backline guys need a massive injection of ownership and individual accountability when an opponent is left unattended by 30m, when they are always second to the ball or when 3 go up to spoil the mark leaving 3 opponents wondering around scooping up the ball. 

Angry.

Yep its absurd, costs us at least 3 games a season.

Good athletes Oscar Mc Donals is slower than my mother , she's 92 and has a walker!! 

T Mac thinks he is Arnold Swazeneger, He is his little toenail!! Only

But lightening over a metre

I think we're very much still in this game, we just need to use the ball better, we're making enough of the play we're just making stupid mistakes and missing shots we should kick.

If we start this quarter off well we can close this gap fairly quickly and get a roll on.

Where is Vince playing? Can't remember seeing him around the ball much.

Tyson looks like he has had 5 weeks off. 

Their mids are killing ours. Absolutely killing ours.

Once again the game is in trouble and I can see none of our leaders actually trying to inspire their teammates.

Kents game has been a disgrace - lazy turnovers

We are just not on today. Look flat. As simple as that. 

Roos said he'll make 4 changes. He made 2. Why?! It makes no sense that we don't keep refreshing the team when we are so young and tire quickly off a 6 day break. 

We can't be a serious club until we stop selling home games, but that is another issue.

Not much in this game. Big second half coming up.

Thanks Abe I get tired of trying to convince myself

Making it very easy to bring in Trengove next week. Plus a few others.

Too many passengers today, thumped around the clearances, midfield giving nothing....small forwards non existent.

Add Neal Bullen, Newton , and Harmes has been drinking his own bathwater. Regardless of result and I am predicting a big loss a huge raft of changes needed next week far too many far too easily pleased!!

Viney getting finger looked at... Wonder when he did that...

Must've done it while trying to pull it out

Winning the hit outs easily yet clearances are being halved. If we win the clearances I think we'll win the game. So far it's not happening just like the Essendon & Saints game. We have to come up with a way to take advantage of Gawns tap work. Viney & Tyson have both been quiet. Maybe time for Vince to go into the square.

Every player who has recently signed a contract extension is playing like [censored].

 

Memo to back line players. 

PUNCH THE BALL AND YOUR ALLOWED TO KICK IT.  

I'm sick of losing to Port. They are a very, very average side and we make them look first class.

Let's see if Viney has leadership, so far disappointing and sucked in way too easily.

Really missing Pederson and Oliver today.
