Yep, but made to look the fool by Leigh Brown... and he still kicked 3 goals

And Petrie...... and the rest....
Watt didn't do that much. Their defensive set up was really good, and we were a bit cramped.
Firrito is a bloody turkey. He was on Kouta, from what I could see.
I'm not happy that we lost to North, let me tell you. They deserved the win, but we were just crap. To lose to a team fielding Watt and Firrito is a scathing indictment on our mindset/preparation. We rely on too much brilliance from too few, and have too many tradesmen. We were too clustered up forward, and didn't counter that effectively. Too many men ran loose in the last when the game was still up for grabs.
Well done to them. They beat a flat opponent by fielding a team built from a bottom 3 list. Overall, pretty crappy day.
Umpiring was poor, I felt.. overcooked.... but props to the umps for not paying Brent Harvey, that cheating little testicle, holding the man decisions when he flicks the ball forward as he's tackled, then dives forward. Yep, Finals footy North played yesterday.
This is a kick in the guts. If we can't beat North, we don't deserve to play finals. We need to improve in every department to get over Essendon*, and even challenge a GOOD team.
