Kangabies kick 7 goals to 3/4 time... then kick 7 in the last qtr. 'nuff said.
How many of them were from dodgy frees or non-decisions?

Twice in the last a bloke has his legs taken out and isn't protected, both result in goals, another goal a player cops front on contact in a 2 on 1 and no free is paid, and the player gets a sling tackle in a one on one in full free view with no other players blocking the view and it's play on.

It's a f@#$ing joke!

We keep finding ways to pump up sides. If any team in this competition needed a boost they would request a game against Cr@p Football Club. Start the fire. Club needs to be torched.
Every week it's a spectacular fightback by whoever plays us
I fell like throwing up

They killed us in the last qtr, Spotted One. So many more inside 50s than us.

Yes, there were some dubious frees paid and some obvious ones missed. But that doesn't change the fact that we surrendered in the last qtr with panicky/poor disposals under real heat ...very little composure. It was like they knew exactly what they were doing, and we didn't.

In footy parlance, they wanted it more than us.

At the moment we look like wooden spooners for 2026.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Lets resign Voss now.

All jokes aside our lack of structures and systems are there for all to see. 

the list is in all sorts of trouble. holes everywhere snail pace mid field no key forwards that have any presence and mentally fold like a pack of cards.

One positive is we wont need to worry about changes to father son.

Disappointed to lose, but definitely better signs in this game than previous.

I watched the Brisbane/Collingwood game last night.  We are so far behind successful teams in every aspect of the game it's not funny.

Maybe we had better extend Voss's contract before he changes his mind.  No other available coach would want to deal with the current list - just rabble.

Time to make some serious statements at selection. Don't care how big the names are.
Cody Walker would need to be the best mid in the draft otherwise I'd overlook him - we need to totally rebuild the centre square group. 
Florent and Hayward are taking the pi$$
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Cut it out @Baggers, blokes do 9 good things and get crucified on the 10th by the umpires, and fans want the player strung up!

Clarkson is a dead set Clark Kent who hates our guts and even he looked embarrassed after the game, I've never seen him look sheepish in a victory over us before!

I was seated top deck, back row, couldn't see who had the ball in the pocket with a minute left and didn't pull the trigger?

Umpiring was terrible today, 2 weeks in a row we have copped some bad ones in the last quarter.

Generally, alot is attitude. Mid 2023 proved that. We went from an utter rabble to superstars in a week back then, and stayed that way. Essentially, we need to want it badly enough.

Well I guess we all knew it was going to happen. We have too many substandard players. I'll single out the captain today, he was woeful from start to finish. Handed that ball to LDU in the centre when the game was in the balance, instead of steading the ship, he actually launches the missile that sinks it. Very disappointing.

GW’s review needs to start with the captaincy. I’ve been saying this for some time now.
Sadly, yes. Not just captaincy though. Dropped for start then a chat at years end. Fish rots at the head they say.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

The fourth quarter happened because we tried to run the clock down because some of our better players were spent - elijah had a blinder, cowan was excellent  - then Weiters went off, Cripps held at every stoppage (jumper clearly being pulled each time)… umpiring was the worst I have seen, and one sided.

But regardless, this is North. After 3/4 time we shouldve gone on with it.

Listening to Garry and Gerard salivating over our predicament hurts as much.  We were even third lead story on ch9, talking Voss.

Hayward pissed me right off and we just didnt get reward for our tackling ever. Feel
Sorry for the boys, theyre trying, its just not happening.
