I’m not a watts hater. I really loved jack when he was with us. I watched the first port game for the year last night. 

If he played that game in our jumper, I would be livid.  He didn’t come to the ball to take a mark. Turnover. He had no urgency running away from a pack. Tackled, turnover. There was no intensity. 

Taking it with a grain of salt. It’s the only game I’ve seen him play this year. But regardless, that was one he will want to forget.

It was his regular game mate, like you i always wanted Jack to fire, but the bottom line is, he has great skills, but is timid

He won’t get rid of that. That is in his chemical make up

This is why recruiters MUST get the right questions to prospective recruits very early. 

As i said above, and will keep saying

Attitude to succeed is what you want to recruit, it’s the rest that can be taught.

I see Andre Gianfagna (used to be on our rookie list) is a field umpire in the Haw vs Norf game this arvo

Those who can, do

Those who can't, teach

Those who can't teach, coach

Those who can't coach, analyse

Those who can't analyse, seek to understand

Those who can't understand, commentate

 

Those who can't do, teach, coach, analyse, understand, or commentate, are recruited by the AFL umpires department. They may just have what it takes to be an AFL umpire.

Watching Norf v Dorks is like watching a dog eat its own vomit

If Norf beat the hawks today i will spew up.

It’s nothing short of a disgrace how we lost to hawks watching them today 

Clearly we softened them up for the Roos.

And we thought the loss couldn't look more pathetic than it was...  North are toying with them.

Can you feel it coming up in your throat?

Well, Clarkson worked us out by quarter time so they said, lets see if he can adapt to North today.

Bingo.

However, North don't have two joggers in the backline who can't run, they don't have players who have no football skills, they nail their set shots, they are spreading and not allowing the Hawks to shepherd the mark and also making each Hawk accountable for a player and they never all run to the forward 50 leaving no one between the pack and the opposition goals. They are also able to pass a football properly.

Pretty simple really.

 

Norf v poos/wees. That first goal coughed by Norf in Q2 was so Melbourne !!

North is a finals smokey. They play good team football at times and have a smart albeit arrogant coach. 

They would respond quickly after a loss like we went through last week. We won't. we're set for a 6-7 goal loss.

So how did we beat them? The mind boggles.......

Agree it will be a disgrace if nth beat hawthorn this week. That will just show how our performance last week was disgraceful 

The put a stat up for both teams in first quarters this season.

 Norf have conceded a total of 36 points in first quarters and Hawks 121 before today’s game. 

All a North victory will show us is that this season is even, unpredictable and if you don’t bring your best sustained effort, you’ll get rolled.  Plenty of upsets in every round so far this year...

Different games on different days. I was actually referencing what we did wrong against the Hawks. It was slightly different against the Roos.
