was just looking at the footage of MM going nuts from the boundary at walker - looked like something from a Hitler parody
Malthouse is good that way..no favourites, AW has been great all year but obviously didnt follow orders probably for not picking up Thomas and copped a bake and its should be the same for Murphy, Judd, Gibbs or any player regardless of stature at the club or previous runs on the board.
And sometimes he might be making a point about the play in general and is just mking it with Walker because he's the one of the senior ones on the bench at the time.
That's a couple of good games in a row for Graham now, he needs to be rewarded for it. A game against the Suns is probably a pretty good place to start him off !!
The North fans should ask their coach why, when they have more talls than we do, he didn't have one or two of them take some of the ruck to give Goldstien a break.
In the end Kreuzers's ability to cover the ground was worth more than a couple of hit outs.
A truly dumb decision.
Yep, we broke fairly even in the hitouts but Goldstein was knackered in the last quarter and couldnt even make it to some marking contests....Brad Scott is lucky he has a successful coaching twin in Chris because he is flying under the radar somewhat and North are no better than when he started with them 4 years ago. Anyone else would be on the chopping block but brother Chris being successful still has Nth fans and the board hoping Brad will be as good... His presser was defensive and this after he has a couple of weeks paying out on the players......he refused to praise Carlton apart from our good conversion early and just talked up players like Thomas and Hine. I think he might be the new Voss next at trade time and try and buy his way out of trouble but like Voss more than likely buy his way into trouble....
I wouldn't mind if Carlton tried to help him out with this bit. There are a couple of North boys who I reckon would look pretty good in Navy Blue !!
Jammo certainly was bad. He has no pace this year and obviously hates playing N.M. He gets a bath every time. His fumbling tonight was especially bad, but at least he tries. Watson is an absolute NO-TRIER!
Elwood you mention Watson's mark. Well done, it was his only highlight and as I said, he was in the vicinity so he had a chance.
Purlease - for mine, Watson was our best defender tonight.....how'd his opponent go? Best game Watson has played by a mile, really encouraged with his performance tonight.
Jamo was disgusting.....that's 3 consecutive weeks of us possibly witnessing the demise of Jamo. Has not got a clue out there at the moment, embarrassing he is, total liability. Can't kick, constant brain explosions, can't get near his man - even in situations whereby his opponent is the obvious choice for having the ball delivered, Jamo manages to misread the play/flight of the ball/be too slow off the mark.......I'm over him. He got lucky with Riewoldt's kicking for goal last week, but he is in career-worst form. I hope like hell we're talking to some other full-backs out there come trade time.....Jamo's cooked.
Not cooked, far from it. Certainly out of form though.
Stick a fork in him......he's done. Not just beaten, has been obliterated for 3 consecutive weeks by 3 of the premier forwards in the game. If Jamo can't play FB (which all the signs are that he no longer can), where does he play? If he manages to reverse this 'form slump' as you VERY kindly put it, the guy is a champion - however I'm fairly confident that ain't gonna happen as every single aspect of his game stinks right now.....EVERY aspect bar none.
Also....loved Lucas' cameos tonight - were as important as anything anyone else did on the ground. He's starting to restore the faith is Kane....good on him too.
I really, really hope your wrong Brettie, coz finding a replacement is gonna be hard !! Personally, I think he can probably turn it around, we'll just have to wait and see !!
Juddy and Murph set a great example, but they are not the Braveheart/Hodge style leader that will lead their team into battle, and stand strong when things aren't going their way. Just my thoughts.
Hendo is... Some of the sh1t he did in that last 1/4 gave me an eye orgasm... He has leadership and Braveheart written all over him..
Can't say I saw anything myself, but if he's got that kind of leadership in him, give him the captaincy.
It's nice to get the win against a bit of a bogey side, however, letting go of a 30+ point lead .....
Our forwards did well, Rowe was quieter than last week but I was still happy with his game, all the others contributed really well.
Our midfield was a bit ho hum, probably beaten overall on the night, although Kreuzer probably won his position.
Jammo had an off night, but I thought the rest of our defenders did quite well, I thought quite a few of their goals scored were due to poor midfield and stoppage work.
I'm of the opinion that we still lack good on field leadership. There is a big difference between leading by example and being the kind of person/leader that would inspire you to follow him into battle and die for him or his cause.
