Charlie 6 & Harry 4 (should have been 5). They’re starting to warm up even if North’s best 2 tall defenders were injured.

I’m happy. At halftime i was ready to stick my foot thru the tv then an hour later I couldn’t be happier.
Still not 100 % convinced but we are doing what we have to do which is what we couldn’t do in previous years.
Time will tell but if we can improve even 10% we should be a formidable opponent later in the year when the whips are cracking. 
Go blues.

Ok. Scrappy, close fought, mistake ridden, ugly wins seems to be our modus operandi this year.

So be it.

Both Saad and Weitering made poor defensive efforts in the last minutes.
They were stuffed.
Great defence all day, and McGovern's kicking was excellent.
That  injury must have been worrying him because there were many others who deserved a subbing.
They scored quite a few when he went off so the structure was probably affected as well as the fatigue factor.

I hope they were being conservative with Gov, he is vital to us.

When we consider we still haven't 'clicked' and wobble through games, to be undefeated is very heartening. Building nicely.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

31 pts from kick ins (coast to coast) in the second half by us, the most by any team in the history of stats.

I think it's a good thing we are not flying yet - we want to start revving up in July.

I'm not seeing a finals side here, we won but some glaring and obvious issues reared their ugly head again. I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

Poor ball movement and amateurish forward play. Thank the Lord for Saad. Sloppy goal kicking from Harry (nothing has changed).

Weak under physical pressure.  Really weak.
Poor skills and decision making under pressure. Fumbling and turnovers.
Effort still appears to be conditional
A long list of players playing poor football. TdK, George...when are they going to get going?

We need to keep turning the list over.  It's clear that Cowan and Hollands have outstripped established players. 

Need to move on from LoB, Fisher (Fogarty as EB suggests), even JSoS.  If you can't do the job, give someone else an opportunity.  If we, by some miracle make finals, there's clearly some weak links  that won't cope with those kind of games.



DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I'm with you Shawny, I thought some of our blokes were embarrassing in the first half. Again, our best is awesome, our worst is well, bad. We can't seem to click as a unit, even in the third, many went quite. A wins a win, should have been a lot more, c'est la vie.

Radio reporting Gov is a corkie. All good.

Said pregame the two key defenders for Nth missing would cost them and Charlie and Harry would have a good day.
Our midfield was below it's best and we had a few passengers but a win is a win and beating any Clarko team is always satisfying.
Need someone to smack Zurhaar though, just thinks he can whack our blokes and get away with it every game.
