GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs GWS

Featured Replies

Well, Pert was talking about playing a recognisable brand of footy...  This is ours right here.  We dominate the play but don't put the opposition away, then have a five to ten minute lapse where the opposition score heavily to snatch the lead off us. 

 

Fritsch just look like he is not getting any enjoyments out of his footy.

Lever had a shocker of a turnover, no doubt about that.

But he hasn't been beaten one on one and has spoiled numerous entries by getting to the right positions.  

 

Max was slaughtered in the ruck and around the ground in the last 5-10 minutes of that quarter. Turned the game.

He's playing on a guy who is 83.

I'll say it again. The ruck position is hugely overrated.

I agree he looks dumb when the flash to him but I think it always looks like that. My issue is the no plan B. I hate it how we never make a move 

Yep you would think in the time he was with us that he would think this isn’t working how I would like maybe I should change a thing or two but not this genius.

Soft and lazy. He has always been like that though


Lever and Melksham are in our leadership team.. they are both sub standard, overated footballers who continue to turn it over or have minimal impact. cant stand them.

Ling's umpiring criticism is something (shady) missed against us?! No mention of anything else whatsoever. But apparently the game has had some "big hits". All Mummy no doubt. Coked up thug.

Ling's a goose.

if you want to something positive for this club VDB then please knock mummy’s head off.

Because he.. er...*coughs* ... bleeds red and blue...?

I don’t care

I can’t see him developing

Not according to the highly paid so called experts.

Each time he lines up for a shot commentators wax lyrical about his exquisite foot skills.

Right before he shanks it.

Yep and when Kossie get a chance of a snap - ‘this is what he loves‘...or ‘look at how great Kelly glides across the ground’. That kind of commentary  is fawning crap. They should just call the game

Are we watching his kicking?

Also the Ch7 commentary team has been beyond disgraceful

You folks bagging Viney, he is having a poor game but last week he was clearly our best. 20 contested possessions and 7 clearances when it was too hard for everyone else. 

He needs to improve his decision making but his effort is unconditional which was our major issue the last two weeks. To trade him would be disastrous. If he wants to leave as he plays with people who pick and choose when to go, I wouldn’t hold it against him

if we had more players with vineys attitude we would not drop games like Sydney and Freo

You almost contradict yourself a little there, mate.

On one hand you say Max got slaughtered in those last 10 minutes, which you seem to hint had a direct impact on their late dominance.  But then you say the position is overrated.  

By your logic, if Max stays on top, we do and as a result we play good footy... which would suggest it isn't overrated.

He plays like a millionaire. Doesn’t do the basics anymore which is what he did so well in his debut season. Has put his feet up after signing a contract.

Make a move after half time Goodwin you moron

Maaatteee how does he teach Viney to use his brain, Gawn and Lever to not turn it over under zero pressure, umpire 22 (I think) to stop being a terrible umpire? The game plan has been working.

Melksham is so bloody annoyiing shouldn’t be out there, making no contribution at all

 

He has done nothing all season but is good mates with goody so it’s ok and was made stand in captain due to his great form this season. Another quality decision by goody. He is full of them ?

Love that they've finally made a move with Melksham, as if to say, you're not getting involved enough, so they put him in a tagging role and have refused to put Harmes in a tagging role all year. Staggering move.

He seems to me to be playing a defensive role on a tagger, in de Boer.

And who in the media will call out Mumford? physical stuff is fine.. swinging round arms isnt..

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
