Back to reality for nth fans

McKay's marking has been very good today 

Carlton are doing to nth what we should do to West coast on Sunday but probably by more

They've had a decent go, North, but no chance covering missing their two key backs plus Larkey being injured all game 

Clearly North won’t win but I’d love to see them do an Us vs Brisbane and pile on more goals in the last few minutes.

The almighty dollar 

The umpires are missing so many blatant North free kicks - right in front of them. The club has to make an official complaint. And the umpires should be umpiring in the Maryborough-Castlemaine League U15s. I have never raged at a TV screen for a non-Dees game as much as I have today.

How does Jobe have the special comments gig? He's terrible.

Take away thosd disgraceful frees to Carlton and Norf win. That’s 2 weeks on the trot that the umps have changed the result…. For the same team.. who in the industry is brave enough to call this out

Sheezel is a star 

Umps can afford to pay North some frees now that a win is beyond them.

Consistently so. 

Good on North not letting this game turn into a percentage boost for Carlton.

The main commentator is also bog ordinary and very hard to listen to imv.  Maybe ok for VFL but shouldn't be doing the main gigs

Watch the media fawn all over Carlton. Like they did Sydney. Without reviewing their draw thus far. 
Couldn’t beat Richmond. Defeated a half dead Geelong carcass barely. Umpires helped them beat GWS. Beat Norf. Spectacular. 
 

Let’s see how they do in Adelaide next week.

Emphasis on the 'special' I think

Lol Carlton player drops ball while being tackled (play on!) Picks it up again while being tackled then drops it again ....all while being tackled (play on!) 🤣

there is a lot of that nowadays... I reckon we need more umpires on the field to catch such situations...4 isn't enough. I reckon we go for 36 umpires they all just follow 1 player each, personalised umpiring.

Affirmative action hire… “special”

Cripps is such a reliable player. Close in with little space to manoeuvre, he can be relied on to throw the ball. He actually got pinged for it, once. Now for the other 9 times, please umps.

Ignoring the ableism on display here re comments on Jobe...  the only reason he has the Friday special comments spot is because Daisy couldn't do Fridays anymore while coaching at Geelong (rip)

Regardless commentary on the commercial stations is generally in the toilet bowl anyway!

afl obviously need more umpires on the ground

one per 4 players seems about right. 9 umpires needed.

no game on friday night

what a joke 

Channel 7 talking up the HUGE Easter Monday BLOCKBUSTER! Hawks vs Cats

17th vs 18th 😁
