First goal of the quarter to North Come on North. You can do this.

Brilliant goal Stephenson

JAckson dropping marks. Don't think he's held a mark yet this year.

Dermy starting to get on my nerves. I'm going to have to mute him

North hit back again and playing with plenty of heart to their credit Starting to hate the Freo crowd and much as i hate the West Coast crowd

2 bad defensive mistakes gift Freo 2 goals

The most ridicoulous dump tackle free i've ever seen absolute rubbish umpiring here

North did drop off that quarter but they're still a good chance. Freo move the ball so slowly and predictably, their forward set-up doesn;t work and their boom recruit is invisible. I just hope the umps don;t get them across the line.

Where the F are the umps finding these frees. seriously

Classic Perth umpiring. some ridiculous decisions

Cunnington is a seriously underrated player. been very good so far.

Is Jackson playing? unsighted that quarter.

North kick the first 4 goals. it's on again folks.

Crows are putrid. Comical defending. Natives not looking to happy. Pitchforks will be out unless they lift big time in the second half.

No sign of the Burgess conditioning dividend either. I thought the Crows were going to be a big improver this year. Looks like I'm wrong.

Delighted with this news. Will give the team a real lift after the disappointment last year night.

not sure we can bank any wins after last night's horror show.

Pies are playing brilliantly. It's sickening to watch.

the other one. hoping some deathriding will improve the mood and i'll keep an eye on the other other thread as well

It's ok to be concerned. we all are. but there's no point torturing ourselves until the results of the scans are confirmed

Reading the posts in the last 2 pages gave me the impression the worst was confirmed. Initial tests inconclusive. Scans due this afternoon. Can the chicken lickens please calm down until then

I don't disagree with any of that Jaded. And TMac is a big worry for sure. But injuries to key players happen all the time. It's a big inditement of the brains trust if plan B's are not in place for these eventualities. If the worst comes to the worst I believe we have the cattle to secure top 4. Other players need to step up leadership wise and the brains trust need to figure it out structurally. Its what they are paid to do.

Hopefully not an ACL but either way he's out for a while. Huge loss to the team but we have a handy replacement in Grundy. Thought he worked his way into the game well last night. We just got to suck this up and get on with it. We're still a very good team and can overcome this.

Other than BB and Lever the entire team was way-off. I think we should stick fat and give everyone the chance to atone so no changes other than for injuries. TMac the big worry. Very ineffectual. Another poor game against the Swans and he'll have to be dropped.

I have to stay i hate those pictures of injured players in the change rooms. If a cameraman came need me in a situation like that i'd tell them to F off.
