NAB Match Thread v Roos

[Jacks Back]

I was really hoping 8cres would start to come good this year. So far 4 possessions with only 1 in that 2nd quarter.

[LTN16]

Paddy tweaked his hammy

[Bluthy]

Richo just said Paddy "has given his hamstring a bit of a tweak". Wont play any more of this game. Sad face.

[Freebird]

Hickey - has he been impressive?

[Jacks Back]

Ross 15 possies,
Savage 12,
Curren 9
and 8 each to Newnes, Billings & Webster

He's been better than what you're indicating. He's been a real threat up forward - almost go another goal but was called a throw to him. They've been rotating a lot with 8 on the bench so don't expect normal numbers.

Not too much. Either has Lonie, Sinclair or Goddard.
Lee the swingman up forward

Acres might have been off the ground a lot. They've been carefully nursing him because of injuries.

[The Fireman]

where the boys have lacked in skill and smarts at times they have certainly made up for in their intensity. Very competitive. The umps over umpiring both ways. Savage getting a lot of the pill. Holmes improving as the game goes on.

[Bluthy]

North first 3 goals. 6 in a row now. Need to lift

[Bluthy]

Another North goal. CArving us up.

[Freebird]

We won't want for players to be dropped off the list..many ordinary players out there

[Sainternist]

This has been a horrible quarter. Can't seem to stem the tide.

[Bluthy]

North goal. Normal service is resumed.

Lot of fringe players out there - Curren, Saunders, Shenton plus all our rookies. This is what we expected.

[spert]

Ordinary effort now, no class in the midfield, and same old story of last year with cheap turnovers from poor kicking skills. A few players probably not up to it from what I can see at this early stage in the season. Anyway, North have a reasonably experienced team of hard bodies in there, so let's just keep trying.

[Freebird]

Idiott umps are making the game impossible to watch again..AFL is run by idiots don't they know one more ump just means another 25% of unwanted whistle ego blowing little men.

Umps have more influence on play than players..why would you bother paying money to see them

[Bluthy]

Sinclair goal - ice cool man! The difference between him who when he gets the ball can actually think through what to do with it, and others who jsut give it away stands out. Ross getting a lot of it but doesn't do much with it.

[samuraisaint]

This is a replica of the game in Hobart last year. Hopefully we can win the last quarter.

[Bluthy]

Lindsay goal. Running through us like soft butter.

[Con Gorozidis]

Absolutely no outsider runners at all apart from occasionally Savage. How Can Hickey take that ball cleanly on the wing and have to kick? Noone running past him? Same for acres. Has it clear but noone gets clear for the overlap handpass.

[Bluthy]

Jeez North another.

And thats where Armo, STeven, Joey will come in - hard running over lappers. The kids are already wilting in the heat.

[samuraisaint]

This is exactly why we recruited Carlisle and Freeman - we have nobody capable of stopping players from breaking the lines against us, and no outside pace in the centre of the ground.
We are still a bottom five side and this won't change until next year in 2017.
