62 tackles swans to 38 for us. Shows how hard we are going at it. Just dialling it in.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

38 tackles when we are chasing tail is astonishing

We have no idea how to use the Sub. Ramsden starts as sub which is a weird choice when you lost a definite starting 18 player and replaced him like for like. Then we sub Serong off and send Gunston to play his role instead of just subbing off Gunston? Bizarre.

Third quarter was probably the least interesting quarter of football I've witnessed. Just felt like I was watching someone play a video game with the difficulty level turned down to 'braindead easy'. We didn't apply pressure, we ball watched, we didn't really tackle, we fumbled constantly and we just followed the ball from one end to the other without any pressure or roadblock.

Can we just see some heart in the final term. We know we can play better than this, but we seem to really struggle once we concede a few quick goals.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Do we train skills?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Heeney sore. Hit him hard again.

 

[mustang]

We need a priority pick. Nothing surer

We have to at least ask the questions reading the draft thread there are some talls high in the draft also.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

THATS BETTER CHOL

 

[Brant]

Chol haters gotta hate the f*** outta that play.

Dreadful effort this quarter. Not sure this is a coaching thing, the absolute lack of pressure and intensity has been embarrassing. Sydney just playin. keepings off whilst we struggle to be within 5 metres of an opponent

You can’t coach game day workrate. Too many don’t seem to want to do the work both ways. Geez they look amazing when they have the momentum, but when things are going bad it’s on-field leadership that has to take control. That sort of leadership is currently non-existent. A proper half back general is sorely needed, or the sort of leader who throws it all in when the chips are down. I do believe it and he WILL come though.

PP plus a few father sons. That will get us on track

 

[SpanishBrowne]

God north are a rubbish team

 

[Buttonsticher]

We didn't play to the conditions.

The condition being, we had an opponent.

4.10 far out honestly

 

[Franko Armani]

We have some midfield talent that can potentially get better but in terms of KPP we are bereft and have zero talent coming through/developing.

These are the same days as when I’d be at Waverley hanging my hopes on the likes of Shayne Stevenson to win us a game.

 

[hfc70]

How bad must Norf be , if this lot beat them by 7 goals

 

[grumbleguts]

There's a positive to be found.

Meek has destroyed Grundy around the ground IMO.

He has indeed. Best on for Hawthorn for me.

Nice Worps

 

[Brant]

Sweet, boys - won off the back of work.

Good start.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Keep at it. Junktime or not.

 

[H00t]

Struggling to lock down space and can’t make space going the other way.

What’s more frustrating is when we do make that space our players will rarely give it to the free man instead they take a worse option constantly.

Hit those free players and it forces the opposition to have to press up tighter, allowing more space. Also brings players into the game.

38 tackles when we are chasing tail is astonishing

This needs to be a major focus of the coaching staff, to change. Every game we are getting belted on the scoreboard and disposals, and then getting smashed in the tackle count. We are no chance of winning a game if this continues.
