Kangabies win by 3 pts.

Bad fade although kicking against the wind and rain.

Encouraged by Phillips, Kerr, Le Bois, Shaw, Polson had dip, Lamb was v good early...

Who was that dill who had the ball at 50m late in the qtr then handballed instead of kicked? That was a bad fumble too but it was raining hard, more reason to get the ball deep. This is our problem, being dumb, not mention those damn red time goals

Nothing much to get excited about but it was a fair effort coming off a 130 point loss.
McKay looks miles away from senior football.

At least Kerr looked closer.

I reckon an iceberg has more versatility than our Harry, the bonehead who gave away that free after the goal should be sacked on the spot, cost a team/club so in need of SOMETHING......
I was there, Blight missed!!!

The dill was earlier, JGM gave away the stupidest free which resulted in a double goal. That got them close and their tails were up.

They might as well try and make a ruckman out of McKay, he might go better when he  knows roughly where the ball will be because from what I've seen of him he struggles to get to where the ball is playing as a forward.
We've got nothing to lose, he's contracted until the end of next year anyway.
Polson shows a bit for sure, and LeBois at least seems to know where the goals are so he's ahead of a few of our smaller forwards.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Lebois showed a bit, as did Kerr. Harry is miles off, no surprises his brother is in the 2s also.

Encouraging signs until 3/4 Time. Then, despite north having 2 players down, we couldn't sustain a significant lead. Nothing honourable about it. Just inadequacies all over the ground in final quarter.  Farewell to JGM.

Of our AFL Polson, Rowe, Flipper, LeBois, Kerr, DeKonig, Shaw, and Lamb were solid. If that's how if Polson's game is representative of his commitment, I see why he got a call up, particularly with our mounting injuries.

Other than That, our club's starting 2018 in worrying style. A turn around is needed soon or the problem will snowball.

McKay is doing alot of ruck work at training. He hasn't been too bad in the NBs over the last two years and wasn't bad at all in his two games in the seniors. Injuries are killing him and not allowing him any continuity. That latter is what Bolton is waiting for as he was anxious to get him in the side but just not until he is ready.

There's a part of me that says if a lot of these young guys are the future...let's get them playing together and developing a bond and understanding.
If we're going to go down in a screaming heap this year let's do that...and get the 'future' working as a team.
Whether that's at AFL or VFL level doesn't really fuss me.

He doesn't look injured to me, he just really struggles to make position or have any real impact.
The way it's going we'll still be saying he needs more time in 2025.

Loads I'm with you. If we want to give the youngsters games together, this might be worth a shot. As you say it's not like we're looking competitive.

He has been injured. That what Bolton said clearly during the week. He said he's hanging out to play him but said, due to his issues, he needs continuity of games.

Harry has ability, he should be playing seniors instead of running around with bananas like Jessie GMac in the NB's, some players will never show anything in the twos but shine when they play seniors...time to find out and same with Kerr.
