whatwhat say what

don't want anyone from the bombers. don't want john butcher. don't want charlie dixon (for the money he'll get). don't want henderson. don't want tarrant. ambivalent about yarran; would want it to be fairly 'cheap' trade.

he's been a terrible disappointment.

outscored by 1 point since quarter time. first quarter cost us big time. there were bits and pieces to like about that, but some of it was truly terrible.

bog was jacobs for mine. completely slaughtered the skipper. this umpiring, good grief...

umpire, good grief you maggot.

terrible defending and shocking lack of urgency amongst the playing group. disgraceful.

they're just that little bit better than us... so happy with the performance since quarter time.

lumumba is finished. error after error after error. he's got one more or two more years to go?

jesse hogan is going to be an out and out superstar.

they're better than us. they're better than a lot of sides. we're competing well, and playing a decent brand of footy since quarter time.

grimes, garland, cross and lumumba are too slow to move the ball off half-back and always look wide. infuriating.

anb is a keeper.

brown is just too big for dunny.

should've been holding the ball against goldstein. another bs non-decision.

defensive intensity has gone up tenfold, made a big difference. forcing them to kick to contests.

hogan's hands are like lightening. another bs umpire decision.

GUS.

for all the talk about viney and vince being top shutdown players, gotta tip my hat to ben jacobs. his ability to go from a rebounding half-back flanker last year / first half of this into a top tagger in the last 6 or so weeks has been a massive part of north becoming a finals aspirant after a shocking start to the year.

we're not out of this, which is pretty extraordinary.

grimes on waite. good grief.

absolute massacre pending.

this is woeful.

dunn being slaughtered by brown early on. further grist for the mill that fitz should've been given a tunnelball reprieve this week and have been selected to play on him?

why do players spin the ball when they're walking in to have a set shot? surely it'd be better from a balance perspective to hold it still?

we are looking at our absolute worst at the moment. 100 point shellacking coming up.
