LOL!

There's only one person commenting in this thread so far that seems unable to deal with the fact that we lost.

lol i was one of the few in this thread to tip that we would lose. The rest of you lot are trying desperately to come up with reasons why we are actually awesome, but cant seem to win.

 

Instead of wasting other posters time Nash , why dont you find a way to fix the quoting problem on this site?

I don't understand why they don't let rucks compete the way midfielders do. I mean what's the point of penalising Gawn like that- what does it achieve?

This game was such a nightmare of injustices. But it was a surprise to see us score like that. We needed the win though and should've gotten it. It kind of feels like 2007 again with all these close losses. As well as Watts, Hogan was a bit shaky inside 50 towards the end, we needed a bit more leadership

Umpiring:

What about the Goldstein free at the centre bounce when the ump. bounced it badly, Gawn had to run 6m. to compete, and touched Goldstein.? Should have been a re bounce. No.. a free , then a mysterious 50m., and... a goal!

What about the ruck infringement against Gawn when he was in front, didn't touch Gold... FREE! Goal against the wind.

Deliberate against Vince when he obviously tried to find a team mate with a handball while under pressure.....goal to Gibson.Similar ones not paid against North.

The Goldstein goal on the goal line. Replayed to determine if the ball  touched the post. But we needed a replay to see if it had already crossed the line before that.

Harmes' clear, inspiring mark, dead in front. He got a goal soon after with sheer guts, so perhaps that one didn't cost us.

2 goals to North against the wind resulting from definite and obvious throws

We must teach our players two detestable skills that Harvey has mastered and taught his team mates. 1./  Duck when tackled to get the free.2/. Dive forwards and flat when tackled from behind to get the "in the back". Don't try to break the tackle.

That's about 6 goals they didn't deserve.

The better, more deserving side ,lost.

 

Agreed. Some really awful decisions against us in goal scoring places for the roos. Plus does any one think that stretch should have got a free fro front on contact in that last play?

You are the only poster that I have seen manage to quote the full profile of someone. Stick to demonology maybe Ding?

 

I tap the "quote" button and the rest of this rubbish come up. Clearly not my problem but one of this site.

Cache cleared, and browser closed and re-opened. Demonland problem, not mine.

 

Thanks for your input though Rafiki, cant remember the last time i read someones input and was forced to place on the ignore list after one post before. Strange how you

 keep appearing.

That was a point as soon as he played on and touched the post.

Only if the Ball hit the post, not the player. The ball didn't hit the post.

But I think it may have crossed the line between the goal and point posts.

There was no "on the line " replay to check this. Healy couldn't wait to announce..."THAT'S A GOAL!!!"

I saw three instances where North players blatantly threw the ball to their team mates, and two of those resulted directly in goals. Funnily enough the umpires called them out too. The whole throwing business is becoming a farce and the umpires seem as though either don't care, or can't keep up with it. 

North are the biggest culprits in the league, along with Hawthorn.

I don't think the umpires care anymore. It's so obvious to me whether I'm at the game or on the couch. I call out throws 3-4 times a game

To a point, they can't police it. The congestion is probably just too much for them these days but today was worse than usual IMO. Plenty of horrible calls.

This loss reminds me of the Adelaide game last year in Adelaide. We just went down in a gritty and determined effort and came out the next week breathing fire .. From memory we beat Richmond??

I've watched the last few seconds of the game again and again and I can't see how Billy Stretch didn't get a free for the front on spoil .

can't agree with that, he got the ball not the player, I like Kennedy but he had 3 options handball forward yo i think Bugg or Vanders, kick the goal or hit Stretch who was open

Buckley will be under huuuuge pressure if we win next week. Will be great!

If we play like we did today (big if) we should win comfortably next week.

How rich does a club have to be to allow the coach/president/boot-cleaner make comments on umpiring?  Perhaps we could get away with "if we were a bigger club,we'd have asked about the umpiring, but as it is we'd never comment".

My son suggested the Chris Scott approach. Roos should say whenever asked, that we gave away 7 goals from free kicks and that he is going to ask the umpires what we are doing wrong, so that we don't let that happen again. Also that we only got one goal from a free and what we need to do to get them as well.

Is it just me, or are we now staring down yet another chance to win two in a row? Obviously it won't happen because, well, Melbourne, but if we had to win one of the next two games it has to be Collingwood. It would be glorious!

Explain which parts of my posts you think have been incorrect or shut your trap. We lost for the 16th time in a row to Norf. NORF. Why do you think my criticism is wrong?

16 in a row bud, no excuses............

Another umpires goal they got was when they said the kick out didn't go fifteen meters in the first quarter 

The commentators all said it was a wrong decision

Draw opens up a bit for us now, on paper we are better than Pies & Saints, good time to play Tigers they have many injuries, Gold Coast are pretenders.

would be very possible to be 4/3 after 7

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
