my question again is, why is blake in the side? It's not as a key back

anyway we have steadied, slowed the game down and dal kicks a goal near quarter time.

Watching on T.V. I cant see any lift in tempo

Devilhead · Post: # 752264Post **Devilhead** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:42pm

No doubt we will pick up - the commentators on ABC sound like they are just waiting for us to come back

Quite funny with all whinging on here for Maxy to be brought back into the side and they go and slam on 5 in the 1st quarter - obviously not Maxy's fault ................ but

Dal kicks a goal 20 out .......... finally ...... cmon fellas!!!!

North are playing out of their skins. Let's see how long they can keep it up.

We have players to come back, bye bye Raph.

It's like watching a rolling scrum.

Wait and see if the Roos have got the go in them to keep it up for 90 more minutes though. I don't think they will.

Telling quarter coming up here.

Seeing is believing. Listening to ABC or MMM is only a partial fix.

Please let us know if you see a change mid way to late second quarter.

We have to toughen up here. Kangas are holding us tightly all over the ground

Legendary · Post: # 752271Post **Legendary** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:45pm

20 tackles to 15, and they are 4 in front ... need to put some frenzied pressure on, really make them feel the heat.

Armoooo · Post: # 752272Post **Armoooo** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:45pm

OMG, the umpiring has been unbelievable.

They got a 50 that was never there which lead to a goal, they didn't pay a Riewoldt mark and then they turned it over and they went down the other end and scored a goal out of it.

With some luck we should only be down 3 goals - 2

Not a great inclusion, we didn't really need a KP stopper for this game. Meh...see how it pans out.

disagree, thought our forward pessur increased in that last 5 minutes, causing some turnovers. Their pressure has been very good and they two taggers on joey and al have been very good. CJ needs to clamp down on wells.

We are bombing it long and not sharing it around. Almost seem scared of turnng it over. Need to go bac to playing on, sharing the ball around and risking making mistakes. Good example was gram mring it on half forward, having the chance to keep going to a player over the top but went back, bombed it long after 30 seconds to a huge pack.

Just a disapointing quarter all round.

Full credit to Nth. they have come to play. This is a REAL test for us!

S.A Saint · Post: # 752276Post **S.A Saint** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:47pm

dal and monty being raped by rawlings and power...

should see more free kicks this quarter hopefully.

umpires terrible

saint patrick · Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:47pm

North 5.1 ..saints 1.3 ar quarter time.Goal to Dal.

This will show what we are made of this year.The intensity has lifted.22 points at quarter time should not be curtains.

Come on boys...self belief

Junior · Post: # 752278Post **Junior** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:47pm

Any chance the umpires watching the holding of our onballers off of the ball?

saint1974 · Post: # 752279Post **saint1974** » Sat 06 Jun 2009 3:47pm

We have to start being aggressive tackling harder getting in their face and can someone take that slime rawlings he is getting too many cheap shots on our players!

True .... a few sides this year have had a 15 minute purple patch against us but have not been able to sustain it ...... I expect the Kangas to come out hard in the 1st 10 minutes of this quarter before we finally get on top and kick 5 in the last 10 minutes
