GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

[dees189227 12,388]

Last night I commented on how the carlton forwards especially the smaller ones put a lot of tackling pressure on and chase.  I saw fritta and kozzie walking. 

Oliver needs to focus on the ball. At one point phillips was into him off the ball & koltyn ran in to help out. 

[Demonstone 22,486]

We're 15 points up.  North have kicked three goals in half a game.

Chins up, Demonlanders.

I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role. 

Petty has been lively. Really unlucky not to have another shot on goal early in the qtr as he was taken high. Fritsch is our real problem. He needs to engage Archer.

JVR was BOG against Collingwood 

yes he beat our one of our water boys for honor cause the rest of the team played s*** that day

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Where is JVR? Someone needs to start flying for a grab when we get it down there.

Thanks Mark (Neeld) 

We are playing Neeld-esque atm mate 

[Diamond_Jim 12,568]

Do we have a forward capable of leading. Think it was Langford with a minute or two to go.. he's clear on the wing with clear space in front and we kick to a pack 20 metres out

You do understand we are talking about North Melbourne? The worst team in the last 3 seasons? 

After what we dished up against West Coast? The second worst team in that same period.

Nail on the head.

It's not working though. Our season is on the line.

Name me a more lazy player for this team

At least he doesn’t give up 50m and down fields for late hits

clarry has him for mentally lazy

[Deecisive 1,709]

same old bomb it into the forward line, what is there problem with players leading, if one of our forwards has two players on him where is our spare player.

[gs77 4,223]

Good to see Kolt giving more than he was getting in that half-time melee. 🤣

[Demonsone 2,037]

Not sure why Oliver is getting game time, sure he’s getting tagged but any other would have been dropped, perhaps that’s the issue, did he earn his spot after a poor preseason?

Any danger of Ollie impacting ?? 

Kudos... Petty having a crack.

Thanks Tmac

A lot need to lift ...

[Purple77 1,001]

Liked Kolt getting involved in 'melee'. Has spirit. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Clarry's copping a heavy tag but just doesn't appear to have the leg power and speed to push through the contest and hit the ball at speed.

Will need a huge pre-season to fix that and get back to his best.

Playing him deep forward is probably about the only option from here to try n shake the tag and maybe hit the scoreboard or get involved in some score assists plus pressure i50.

So we can't criticise their poor performance?

We all support the team, but we are tired and frustrated of the downhill in which we are at the moment.

[chook fowler 19,458]

Bowza has lost the plot 

[DubDee 25,839]

why would north tag Clarry?

he’s had zero impact this year

[darkhorse72 1,916]

Stupid reviews the umpire was right there...

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Umps are clearly invested in a Nth win.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Windsor’s handballs have been diabolical tonight.

[Gunna’s 2,104]

Review complete. The umpire was on the goal line and should get an eye test.
