North still turn it over a lot, but they have a structure and game plan they are working too. We can't counter it as expected. Happened pre-season, happening now.

We'll have our token come back in the third.

Murph does not look right either..

Half time and we're not out of it. We're getting enough of the ball, but the turn overs and terrible kicking for goal... All out attack in the second half and who knows, might as well go down fighting.

Army: How can a guy who is such a good set shot be such a terrible field kick?

Murphy: The reverse of Army; shades of final against WC.

Jamo: Just terrible disposal either hand or foot. Will be lucky not to get a week or two.

Collins: Is there something in his contract that says he isn't allowed to kick any further than 30 metres?

Judd: Anyone else think he's gone for that "tackle".

Jeffy: Has to go to the twos.

We need a new club psychologist.

Outstanding.

But like everyone having a go he's had a few clangers.

Lucas is all class but hes looking like he'll faint in a contest.

Familiar story...

Umpiring going against us
Too many turnovers
Too many bad decisions
Costly misses in front of goal
Confidence gone...

This game has all the hallmarks of a 45+ point loss.

Ratts can officially kiss his job goodbye at teh end of the year...

Umpiring is 'interesting'.
Our kicking at goal is terrible.......again.
Our opponent's kicking at goal is stupidly accurate.......again.
Garlett couldn't kick a goal from 3 feet out directly in front.......again.
Activated sub early.......again.

Thomas is as likeable as Milne but with much less footballing ability.

There was nothing in Judd's grab of the arm but it'll be in the media all weekend and the AFL will want to be seen to be doing something.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Norf are playing well and to the coaches instructions

They go man on man when we have the ball and nullifies our spread

Umpires are not to blame for us being 5 goals behind... those frees were there

Our kicking for goal is pathetic

In saying that, I think we're still a chance... need to be within 3 goals at 3 qtr time and we'll run all over them

We are playing like shit but are still in front in shots on goal. Had Murphy and Garlett kicked those, we'd be right in it. Week in and out, we kick like under 12's. Last week was an exception. On the other hand, they are getting a goal every second time they go inside 50. Our problem is in the back six. Tonight we are too inexperienced as far as talls go. Watson, McKinness, Even Hendo, Add to that Gibbs is unsighted and Yarran has been taken away from the footy and it doesn't look good.

We can do this.

There are so many differences from last week it's astounding.
