Game Day North vs Sydney (Round 18)

[Lomas]

Parker showing why he should be a target.

 

[scottywiper]

Turned it off. Not entertaining whatsoever

Welcome to following North

 

[Supa_Nova]

Came in here to talk about positives, such as archer on Hayward, LDU fighting through a tag, simpkin playing physical...


Instead I see comments attacking a draftee from last year who is still our leading possession winner... it's 17th vs 1st, and we are away, and they were smarting off 2 losses. This SHOULD have been happening. Think people need to take a leaf from dimmas playbook from last week

 

[Kanga Glory]

I think we all got carried away, this is thectop team against 2nd bottom, maybe more a reality check

 

[Moti]

Finally Cam in the middle.

 

[The acurate one]

Also, mckercher has been pox today. Fisher should have played

1. Comben pox, Logue should have played
2. Xerri pox Free should have played
3.Teakle pox Comben should have played
4. Curtis pox Stephenson should have played
5. Archer pox Bergman should have played
6. Ford pox Greenwood should have played


I could keep going until I hit rock bottom and point out the Biggy should have played

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Closer to the other way around.

Disagree. There is a minimum standard of effort, which isn’t there today. See how we respond next week.

 

[tricknologist]

The only people who needed to a reality check were certain supporters who thought the wheel had fully turned based on 5 good weeks of football

 

[Rooniversity]

Yes, it was a beautiful week but thudding back to earth today was always likely. Thought we'd be better though. Onwards!

 

[Roos92]

Simpkin trying hard but needs to realise he's not ldu

 

[Passmore]

I love Colby, but he can’t defend. Needs to hit the gym hard. Clarko should take him out of the backline.

He wasn't too bad last week. When the balls coming in like it is they all look shit. Particularly the one's who are charged with providing rebound.

We all got caught up in the team showing something consistent for the first time in years (which is understandable) and now reality has definitely set in. Nice to have had something to cheer about for the last 6 weeks.

 

[Lomas]

This has had nothing to do with the outcome, but why play in Sydney in this time slot with the sun the way it is?

 

[hellas_johnny]

Mcdonald stitched up there mulls is front on

 

[amaz199]

Lost this at selection. You need a defensive mid to equalise the contest.

They are killing us because we just have pure inside mids in there. Why ruin a winning formula?

 

[Moti]

1. Comben pox, Logue should have played
2. Xerri pox Free should have played
3.Teakle pox Comben should have played
4. Curtis pox Stephenson should have played
5. Archer pox Bergman should have played
6. Ford pox Greenwood should have played

This is a game where we have been smashed everywhere, to say 1 or 2 changes would make a difference is living in Lala land.

 

[kornefrancis]

Maybe we look better when Will Phillips plays because he just defends a player and allows LDU to do his thing.

Feels like we replace Will Phillips at centre bouncers with players like Tom Powell that doesn't defend or attack at centre bounces ...

They're all young, so will get better, but the great myth of Norths midfield depth keeps getting shown up.

If Powell doesn't defend or attack, can someone please explain what he does?

 

[tazaa]

Xerri is getting slaughtered

 

[Roos92]

No free there. Unlucky

 

[scottywiper]

False dawns are.a North staple. Like under Ratten last year

 

[King Corey]

Shit umpiring against Luke.

Hope the umpire cops a VD when he's doing his weekly post game gobbies in the swans rooms.

 

[Devington]

Disagree. There is a minimum standard of effort, which isn’t there today. See how we respond next week.

Sydney have arguably failed that standard in some recent games. It happens to everyone. We've been up for 5 games in a row, which would be the first purple patch we've had in years. 1st place team at their home ground? I can cop us being blown out even if it feels gross. I'll be far more annoyed if it's a similar story next week while at Marvel.

So play a defensive mid we win?

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Wow, reminder why I’ve not attended a game day thread during a loss for a while. We’re playing top of the ladder right? Away in Sydney? And only four weeks ago winless? Wonder why we’re getting whacked..

 

[King Corey]

Larkey held play on.
