A pity that some of these teams are finding a little form. Hawthorn winning last night put them above us for the moment. Let's see if we can alter that against another of the underachievers.
Just turned this on what's the first thing I see Waite form the boundary slots it through. Wish he was still in out colours , not the most popular opionion but still mine
Already we can see we wont get the rub of those yellow maggots.
God i hate Waite
Second to the ball, going to hard to get in the game like that
10 + Goal flogging on the cards. .. they are running us ragged. Weitering on goal line embarrassing
2 Things
This Weitering swingman idea can GAGF as far as Im concerned. He's a defender, leave him there forever. Playing him fwd seems to have ruined his defensive mindset in a fe weeks.
This game has all the hallmarks of being over at qtr time.
Game over!
Good mark & goal to Gibbs , hanging in there
umps are #$$$&&& disgrace
We look like slow compared to the Roos like we expect to be chasing .

Disagree, dumb ass Carlton has turned up today.
That's as bad a quarter as we've played this year, every mistake in the book.

Like the Port game, terrible.
Are we playing the Bulldogs or Adelaide. .. ?? its North Mebourne FFS and we look like a rabble .... its gonna be a long day.
Umpires need to stop complaining about having to bounce the ball and learn to apply the rules. We have clearly being bad but we don't need the extra handicap of getting pinged for everything while they get away with holding and throwing it every time
We will need to tighten up this quarter , or this could blow out this qtr.
The leg break goal from Gibbs , need a bit of luck to keep our scoreboard moving.
We need Bb to complain about the umpiring. Ala Scott
Don't know what's worse, the craptastic umpiring or the MMM commentary team
Officially getting ugly. Running us all over the park. missing Rowe has been the corner stone the last few years in defence
Not sure why we went with just one key forward today. If Levi comes up the ground we have nothing tall in the 50. Levi's got to be the lone key forward and back up ruck today. Tough gig.

Umpiring. Definitely the umpiring.

Umpiring has been awful all weekend. Lowest standard imaginable.

Showing in the stats as well 3 marks in the 50 , tough way to win a game
Nice goal to Wright from the boundary, making the most of his shots. Effort is there, entry forward is hap hazard no real target
Finally some thing we really want to see from Levi, took the game on & Goal

Can we count him as a green shoot ? 14.2 or 15.2 from set shots this season.
Laugh all you like. I'm desperate for something positive.

I am counting it , as you say need all we can get lol
Certainly have grabbed the game back from the Roos, got the last 3 . Showing heart
Where was this for the 1st qtr and a half ?? Having a crack now and look what happens.

Yes, we won that quarter by 7 points - given them a bit of a scare and something to think about.
Nice work lads. Keep it up.
Great umpiring today.
Gibbs gives a shoulder bump and the north player goes down. Free kick north.
Cas pushes a north player in the chest who goes down. Free kick north.
North player charges Wright after the kick and makes contact to the head. Play on.
Until the late charge we've clearly been subpar, but geez some fair treatment today could make this a lot closer

Perhaps having Phillips in the side wasn't such a bad idea now. :P
Said Weitering would play back which meant we wouldn't have much up front. Needed an extra tall. Best one going at present plays ruck....
How about the non free kick to zieball in our goal square. Divednon it clear and simple, butnpaid the same thing when Cripps did it. Ducking joke.

It's the tackling and the pressure that's a big difference
Petrevski Seton hasn't had much of the ball but has been tackling fiercely , Alex Silvagni his usual good tackling efforts ;)
Zac fisher went after about five of them in a row in one piece of play on the boundary and forced the ball out.
It's hard to see us winning but at least we didn't look like a rabble that quarter.
Good to see Cunningham involved in a couple of goals, it should help build his confidence.
Some of the young blokes have got a bit lost today.
Someone flicked a switch... BT mentioned bruise free early in the qtr then all of a sudden we started tackling and harassing and it turned.
Endeavour is there, just need to add that score board pressure so we do get reward.
Made it look it look hard but finally got the goal, pressure it's starting to tell & impact on the Roos
Really outclassed q1.
Certainly some dodgy umpiring, but we can usually rely on that one.
Part way into q2, we got some system going.
Charlie C looking great.
Go blues
Like what Alex Silvagni brings to the back half adding that bit of leadership . Reminds me of Andy McKay back in the day
Inspirational goal by Cripps , love to see that
Silvagni should have went back and kicked that.... phew
1 point down. All the momentum with us.
1 pt game who would have thought?
Great Qtr... Cunningham Cripps Gibbs. ..
Kreuzer...outstanding. :D
North have been solidly beaten for almost 2 full quarters now. I can't see that being 3 by the end of the game.
It will be a big arm wrestle from here. We just have to keep applying the relentless pressure we have been thus far, and not drop your head if they kick a goal or 2.
Wow. If that's the new Blues. I love it.
Keep it up boys.
Kreuzer...outstanding. :D
That smother got the biggest reaction i've seen since Peter Dean in the '95 GF!
Very brave Blues. Kreuzer, what a player.
1 pt game who would have thought?
If only we hadn't let them run away it so easily in the first.
Makes the umpires poor work all that much more infuriating though
Wasted too much energy coming back. We'll get smashed now.
You farking beauty
Great goal Blue Boys
Jack "Hulk" Silvagni! :o
Have they run out of puff?
Couple of missed tackles there, that will happen, but very impressed with the efforts here.
They were just cleaner
Weitering and Macreadie refusing to rush it through, costs us 2 goals....and the lead.
Jack off injured ?
panicking a bit the boys
All over now.
Yes very hard from here, but not over till it's over.
We just needed that extra goal to get a mini break.
All over now.
Yes, still within 3 goals, but seems too big a hill to climb.
Yes very hard from here, but not over till it's over.
Im thinking this will end up like the first qtr (not scorewise just all Norp).
It does look like it
But they have shown a willingness to work hard.
I don't think we are likely to win, but prepared to give them a chance
Confusion re the rushed behind rule cost us two goals.... Time to get it sorted AFL. Crap umpiring costs games.
That extra little bit of class making a difference, some stirring stuff out there
Crap umpiring rarely costs games, it almost certainly evens out.
If we are good enough we win games of football, with only a few rare exceptions

Inexperience, not confusion IMO.

Nailed it.
Inexperience, not confusion IMO.
That rushed behind rule has confused everyone all weekend and cost goals.
Well done umpires. The team you wanted to win got there in the end.
Bugger - less than 3 goals. Great effort apart from the 1st. Woke up 20 minutes too late.
Clarke from North must be looked at IMO.
We ran out of puff in the end.. but have to be happy with the last 2 and a half quarters... 1st quarter was a disaster and was always gonna be struggle from there.
