That was an extremely dirty hit, very early in the game. Clearly it was premeditated that they would go out and try to smash us around. He had plenty of opportunity to avoid that bump and smashed him anyway. If that were in the AFL, he'd be gone for 3-4 at least.

So you've never had a block of chocolate in the cupboard that you had to keep until next week, but all week you knew it was there and you just couldn't get it out of your head, and then after a few days you just gave up and ate it? I joke, but it's human nature. They know people are writing about them and I'd be amazed if each and every one of them had the willpower to resist looking.

You spell it 'cited', by the way.

Had you on ignore. Overrode it to read this post. Back on ignore.

Not a huge deal, but whichever muppet at the AFL did the highlights from our game is clearly a North supporter - 80% were North goals. Hopeless.

Yep, they'd never lie to you Saty.

What a dumb thing to do. We just have to rub these silly errors out of our game. Doubly disappointing because this is a truly must win game.

You're a muppet. Did you not notice the 9 goal quarter going the other way? Did you even watch?

Anyone who has spent ten minutes reading this forum surely knows that Jumbo is probably the biggest Watts supporter in the country.

It was such a shame too, because 5 seconds earlier he took an absolutely sensational contested mark, as we've been crying out for him to do for years. To be honest, I blame Hogan for leading.

I reckon this is on the money. Vince is gone for sure.

You are dead set out of your mind. Kent and Harmes? Please.

What a great game. A bit more composure there in the last quarter, and a touch more class, and we win that game. Let's not forget North are 3-0. If we play like that every week, we win 10-12. Maybe last week was the 'loss we had to have'.

I love watching us play like this and am so willing to run the risk of a few over the back to see it.

I really, really, really, really hate Harvey

Nev Jetta is really undisciplined. You can't smash people around the head.

Yep. Very, very good point on Collingwood and Richmond. I think WCE would really struggle to fit Hogan in with Kennedy and Darling, but you never know I guess.

They just looked slow and boring and like the game has passed them by. Must have got their coach from the Paul Roos Coaching Academy. Oh, wait...

I'd say our chances of keeping Jesse went up 20% tonight. Freo are done and dusted, especially once Pavlich and Sandilands go. And gee West Coast look good when they are up and running

Sorry, I'm still back on page 5 - and I've counted literally 7 posts in a row of you saying nothing other than this. Ie, adding absolutely nothing to the discussion except carping and pissing and moaning.

And on being given exposure in the seniors to develop - we've been given the messaging for three years now that this is the direction the club explicitly wants to move away from, so not sure why we would then U-turn and do it anyway.

Well yeah, but we are talking about the same premiership coach who admitted in public that he made the wrong selection decision last week. You can't just use 'premiership coach' interchangably with 'infallible'.

Completely agree and that's how it should be, but then why are we telling everyone we're playing players who are ready, when they clearly aren't? Wagner is a long way off from being ready, has been given some exposure and been found wanting, and has no real exposed form different to that in the seconds.

I reckon they've lost the plot. Inconsistent messaging now twice in a row. They keep banging on about bringing up ready players in good form from the VFL. My count is (1) Brayshaw. Yes, best 22 but clearly not ready and zero seconds form to go on. (2) Wagner. Exposed form very dicey and others have been much better performed in the VFL games. Fine to experiment etc, but don't then give us but, more importantly the players, mixed messages. Guys like ANB must be spewing.
