Bates Mate

Langdon has had two down weeks in a row (better last night) missed a couple games. I don't think he is in. Fritsch not in. Wouldn't have b.smith in

Most fun I've had at a game since early last year. The way we played from the 2nd quarter on. The second QTR the crowd in the members side where I was sitting really got into it. made heaps of noise as we where relentlessly tackling ,smothering harassing the opposition and they couldn't get out out of our forward half. So glad I decided to go I forgot what adrenaline you can get watching your team go about it the right way live.

I thought the same, serviceable and played a role. Happy with that

Best pressure we have bought all year. Lions are buckling under it. Lets keep it going

Hope so, we have given up too many out the back goals the last few weeks and Hibberd and the defence will need to be better set up to ensure we don't give up too many this way as Cameron is way quicker then anyone in our defence

Not sure who the matchup is either. Hunt would have been a decent match up. We saw what he did to Joel Smith last year but don't mind that much up. He is to quick for Hibberd, to good in the air for bowey . Guess that leaves Salem or Brayshaw but they will just drag either to the square and take away our best half back distributers.

Hate that club

In his new statement he apologises then goes on to let everyone know he has been diagnosed with ADHD as if that's a reason why he acts like a DH

All these night games are good for TV exposure but personally i don't enjoy attending them, mainly due to the late finishes/getting home afterwards and no good to take my kids all under 12. Oh also the flashing lights and booming noise after each goal is horrible when your sitting in the stands

I'm not going to get too political on this forum but you'd hardly say the loose spending and debt levels he left indicate he would be a good fit for the running of any business let alone the AFL.

He looks panicked with ball in hand this year

Why the secrecy it's a muscle injury

Judging from the telecast last night id say there where more Essendon fans there or at best 50/50. Saints fans don't turn up . Was Spuds game, team are in the eight and played under a roof against a big Victorian club there would have been expected to beat.

So North effectively get a home game every week. That's totally a great idea. Imagine when the tide turns and they become a decent side utterly rediculous

Out: Gawn, Turner,M.brown In : Weid,May,Rivers.

Summed it up perfectly. I caught her interview with Kate Rothey on the radio before QB game. She tried to trip her up with " tough" questions on the leaked texts and May incident. Kate swatted her questions away like flies. It was embarrassing for Caro

Also a chance for us to not rely on kick long to Max every kick in and when we move the ball slowly. It's a great luxury to have this option but feel we do it too often. Also a good chance to be less predictable in the centre bounce.

My MFCSS has me thinking he'll miss a month then they discover it hadn't healed and need surgery after all and miss another min 4 weeks

Yep my first thought .

I agree, we are playing it way too "safe" in all aspects from kick ins, to ball movement around the ground,to forward entries. It's actually the way we are instructed to play. Don't forget late in the 3rd QTR of the GF our boy's where told to slow it down after getting back into the game with a bit of dare and dash. Thankfully clarry and trac took it upon themselves to go full throttle. Unfortunately we are 85% safe most of the game we need a bit more dare and dash back.

[censored] fans have history of going the best players in the comp. Gary Ablett jnr used to cop it . Clarry is approaching that tier

Anb's inability to convert set shots is an issue

Yep. And what's even more frustrating is we still persist with the same kick long to Max on kick ins every single time and kick long to a contest or opposition player in the pocket when going forward 80% of the time. We are really getting to predictable in these areas of the game .

It's obvious from level 4 of the ponsford we are just not moving. We get the ball and the team is stagnant. No one leading into space. M.brown non existent

Agree, Thursday night is absolute a no go zone for majority of families and many who work Friday. I live 7km from the city drove in Saturday and still got home at 11pm
