Didn't get nervous like other close games as I felt we could control it. Seems we were always doing enough.
Next time we play a shit side though we need to play to our standard not theirs. Close season so percentage is important. We wasted 6-7%.
Nice to feel flat after a win...lol,.
This post takes the cake
Happy with the win but in the context of the 18 teams we are middle of the road
We were very ordinary after quarter time and Pittard’s stupidity could of cost North the game.
The positives are we have improved but we have a long way to go.
Pittonet has made a big difference. He competes
Setterfield and Kennedy have been much better although they were both ordinary after half time
Need to play 4 quarters against the better sides
Williamson might need a spell but I still rate him
McGovern is still a concern
Doesn’t do enough and his body is about as brittle as a warm chicken bone
Betts will have games like that at his age . He hasn’t much time left.
Murphy is so soft. His inability to tackle is an embarrassment
Moore was a spud at Richmond. Why would it be any different at Carlton
There is plenty of talent in the WAFL VFL etc
Particularly bigger blokes who take time
We need to snaffle a few guys from those leagues
Gibbons is good
Have a look at Kyron Hayden who played for Subiaco. He toweled up Betts today.
Seriously over picking guys like Mullett and O’ Shea
And why TDK wasn’t preferred is bizarre
I know you don’t read my posts but
What is our standard
I think our standard is overall average
It’s getting better but at the moment
where not much better than NorthDon’t forget Cunnington is their most important player and he is out
To be far Curnow is out to and I reckon he is our most influential player
Bottom line Jim is where a long way off it
Norf have lost 6 of 7 since the season restart including two 50 point losses and we have won 4 including the Cats in Geelong, the Bulldogs by 50 and lead the top of the ladder Port all the way up to the final siren.
To be polite, I’d say your opinion that we’re not much better than North is very glass half empty.
