Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 20 - North v Cats Sat July 27th 1:45pm AEST (Blundstone)

[A Swallow]

North forward 50 entries just not good enough this quarter.

 

[HTPunter]

Why did the Geelong guy have to go back 5 meters before? I’d love clarification as sometimes the umps will let a mark be closely guarded near the boundary in the pocket there, but just before Geelong player was forced 5m behind the mark

 

[Blightys Barrel]

The most frustrating part of the game today is the HTB interpretation. For both sides it is a lottery week to week. 4 umpires with absolutely no consistency between them.

North forward 50 entries just not good enough this quarter.

Yep - not knocking Geelong but the commentators are banging on about their “intercept” defenders, I feel like their defenders haven’t had to do anything but wait 10m in front of the forward and it gets lace out on their chest.

 

[hawkman]

Do the North mids know they need to kick to the vertical blue and white stripes?

They’ve been pretty harsh both ways today, ignored quite a few ice cold ones on Geelong & North I’d say.

Love Wardlaw, what a star he will be

tackle will be interesting. 100% the action the AFL wants to remove, and he created all the momentum in the tackle (as opposed to say Bedford on Taranto) but no injury. Should be a week for me because of the action but no concussion so probably just a fine?

 

[danster168]

hahahahahaha ok Dan whatever you say little guy

Run along now, let the adults talk footy

dude you called Zane Duursma an A grader. Seems like you just rate everyone who is young. Enjoy the kids corner.

Love Wardlaw, what a star he will be

The Butters comparison is an excellent one on behalf of whichever commentator said it.

He hasn’t had his best game today, fumbling, but good thing he’s played a lot more games than this one.

His arms weren’t pinned which helps Tucker, but as you said he did generate the momentum himself

 

[Bunnings]

Yep - not knocking Geelong but the commentators are banging on about their “intercept” defenders, I feel like their defenders haven’t had to do anything but wait 10m in front of the forward and it gets lace out on their chest.

Watching with commentary on is wild.

 

[WowWeee]

Norths final kick i50 have been terrible.

 

[Delisted]

Come on North

 

[HTPunter]

Watching with commentary on is wild.

My fury listening to the morons in the box distracts me from my fury watching North go inside 50 (or to ground in their D50)

 

[Lingsface]

North have great speed with the ball too much for the cats at times but Geelong seem to of said that is fine and we will drop someone in the hole and try and catch you out of position on the turn over. Geelong are not executing well either with their disposal into the forward 50 area as well.

I think if you leave an arm or arms free for the tackled player to brace the fall it mitigates it a bit

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Feel like Kangas are losing this match, as opposed to outstanding play by the cats. The manic hand balling out of Defence works, but falls down when you have shite entry into the F50. Logue is still rusty and his disposal has been poor.

Poor defensive marking in set plays in the Geelong F50 and the ubiquitous brain fade by Corr allowing their first goal. Xerri and LDU have been super impressive and need others to lift in the 2nd half.

 

[A Swallow]

Stephenson surely never gets a game again after this. His ONLY redeeming feature is usually his skills.

2 inside 1 min. FMD

 

[Upstart Swan]

Jeez there are some turnover kings in this North team

 

[hawkman]

North has come out of half time like they have been told they are meant to be tanking
