Dees defensive work in last 2 mins against North

[Clayton van Oliver 1,829]

Not sure if this has been put up and wasn't sure where to put it so just thought I'd make a thread. This is a great little video breakdown of the last two mins Vs North, how both teams went about trying to win/save game.

Agree with all of old mates comments. However it makes me very worried at the thought of our team without max when his time comes.

should never have put ourselves in that position in the first place

football is a game of momentum these days, and north got all theirs going in the last quarter and, to be honest, the second quarter - they should never have let the margin balloon out as it did and could well have been in front at half time as they were as dominant in 2 and 4 as we were in 1 and 3

our defensive structure held them up in the last few minutes and petty's clunking mark after pup's big tackle was a huge part of us holding on imo

Gee, it was interesting noting

first the borderline downfield free for the bump on Petty (I wouldn't have called it, but the umpires earlier had...)

and then at the other end of that kick it is clear even in that grainy footage that Van Rooyen was bumped to ground by an opponent with no intention of entering the marking contest. I mean... am I forgetting the rules or is bumping someone to prevent them entering a marking contest when you have no intention of participating in the contest not normally a free?

Good pickup on Liam Shiels effort there, and the comment on 'not caring what the opposition is doing - rolling the dice' sums up the necessary attitude quite well.

Any chance Will Schofield can bring this stuff to special comments instead of cheerleading like he's head of the WA Football Commission? I know there's a difference between speaking off the cuff and being able to review footage first, but this is light years ahead of the dross he brings to TV games.

I’d prefer anything over BT.. he would have watch the Melbourne v North last 2 minutes and said “you really get the feeling North need to score here, otherwise it is going to be tough to come back”..

I'd prefer to hear to somebody speaking in tongues while I'm strapped to the electric chair than BT.

My dog barking at possums is like a Mozart masterpiece compared to listening to BT.

The disappointing take away from that video was that we allowed the oppositions best player on the ground to be free at stoppages with the game in the balance. Egads.

A good summary especially aimed at those who think prolific possessions are the criteria for winning e.g Shiel's running, Gawn, Movement to bottle game up. Protecting the corridor.

All things that stats analysis does not show up !!
