Game Day Round 1 and a 1/2 - NMFC v Dogs - 7.35pm @ Marvellous Stadium

[Cool Kangas]

When will the tide turn? Legit when? Anyone have any words of objectivity?

 

[Roosurgence]

Well they're not working very well then. Because roughly 40% of the players in the comp are going to ground trying to draw frees

Because the umpires are hopeless and reward it.

 

[Caracas]

Why ? He’s half the problem then . Just come out and say I’m going . Then sit him in the reserves for the entire year. We’ll get good compensation.

You’re responding to complete nuffy talk on Big Footy.

 

[Horizons_00]

I know that stats would suggest otherwise, but I swear that was Sheezels worst game. So poor with skill, and his usual one touch wasn't there whatsoever

He looked so out of it

Saddens me

 

[Dinkers]

I think we were much better than we've been.
Still carrying a few that are limited.

 

[Luke72]

That sucked but we were competitive and I honestly believed we were going to win it going into the last quarter. While it sucks I would have taken it last year.

It’s quite remarkable that we are all saying “geez what a crap game” and the kid still did 31 disposals at 67% efficiency

 

[DarkPhoenix]

We were lucky to get that close tonight. Disposal skills, no improvement. Honestly, Clarko needs to harden up. I'm over this hug and love culture. If you play a poor game, You're dropped. Start with LDU to send the message. FFS, Barassi dropped Blight. It's time this group of players start to realise they are not automatic selections.

.... okay?

Yeah, it wasn't a Sheezel quality game, and you could tell he knew it too.
He was playing it safe.

 

[Luke72]

**** that, Sheezel cracked in. We have to expect that opposition is going to put a fair bit of time into neutralising his output, the other guys need to stand up.

 

[Luke72]

Luke McDonald played a fantastic game, one horrible shank but the rest was awesome.

 

[Mcarcherey]

Couldn’t they make the same argument for the second quarter?

They finished +9 inside 50’s on us with a depleted side.

Not really imo.They never changed the way they played. North make a clear improvement at quarter time, something that would've taken longer or may not have happened at all previous years.

They had the 9 more inside 50's primarily due to the first quarter.

Nope. It was due to the last.

If we’re accepting that we were that badly structured in the first quarter and needed to adjust.. it doesn’t say much about the preparation and competence of our coaching staff.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s just amazing from our POV we think he wasn’t among the best, and yet everything the kid did stats wise suggests otherwise
He is a complete freak

No, gives away too many free kicks and panics

I thought he was good. I think they look for him when it’s not the best option at times which I totally understand.

 

[NMFC TID]

pressure of the Fwds was great in our 50 but didn’t pay enough attention to them once the ball was out of our 50, Dale took the piss. Zurhaar could have been the difference but it wasn’t his night. Worked hard but didn’t finish off.
Skills under pressure still putrid and not sure if we have the cattle in this squad to turn it around. So rushed in the ball and no composure.

He gets a lot of shit free kicks paid against him. It’s time that umpires were held to account post match for the free kicks and why they justify paying them.

 

[apollo_creed]

No. He calls for it when he’s not the best option. That’s the problem with him. His football IQ is south of zero.

 

[Luke72]

If we were looking for players who sucked Charlie Comben had a forgettable game.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Jy was very good? He absolutely butchered the ball time and again.

Slaughtered it without anaesthetic.

 

[Shinboner1]

we're desperate for some good tall defenders.
Ours are no good.

 

[Luke72]

Slaughtered it without anaesthetic.

As did Colby

 

[apollo_creed]

Jy butchering it is expected though. If he played within his limitations and respected them he would actually be a much better player.

He was new level of suck
