Every game has been tight. I can’t imagine next week will be any different.

The team with the a worse percentage than us is sitting in 14th place on the ladder.

Time to get cracking one would think.

Ridley ran down the stairs fairly quickly at Marvel before the game yesterday. Nearly bowled me over.

Couldn’t be too far away…

Crikey… dunno how I left Guelf out of my votes, let alone the apologies.

My APOLOGIES

North have won 5 games in the last 2 and a bit seasons. :shock: McKay and Goldie have been in 6 winning games this season. :D Despite their crapness, the 'roos scared us last year. We must bury them this year. These are the games where we measure our ‘maturity’. Too many times before we have shown ...

Hind sight is a wonderful thing

I have no idea how we are still in this game at halftime. Turnovers are killing us. We are off the pace almost on every line. Yet, there’s only 2 goals in it. Thank goodness for Martin and Langford I guess. WTF is wrong with Stringer’s kicking lately? Kicks the impossible, misses the cinches. Been t...

Hind?

Seriously. f***!

Why not Shiel?

HR Stats. 5 kicks 2 clearances. I don’t think we even tagged him!!?

Nah.
Reid had 14 disposals, 5 tackles and 2 clearances.

It’s true though. He only had 5 kicks

Will Setterfield Knee 2-3 weeks. Concerning that it's taking its time to improve.

Seriously, WTF is going on with this bloke???

He was listed as “1-2 weeks” a month ago!

Now he’s 2-3 fkng weeks????

I think Duz is very undervalued. The amount of work he does that doesn’t gain a stat is enormous. Crashing packs, getting the ball out of opposition hands and moving it in our direction etc AFLCA Coaches Votes: 10 Zach Merrett (ESS) 7 Nic Martin (ESS) 5 Tim Kelly (WCE) 4 Jake Waterman (WCE) 3 Darcy ...

We just don’t win easy. We had a 9 day break, they had 6. Should Jones have played? Davey needs a spell. Thank goodness for Zed! Jones - 3 Kicks, 3 HP with 3 clangers - clearly gunshy Davey - 2 Kicks, 2 HB, 1 tackle. with 1 clanger. Spent 41% of the time on the bench. You could argue he had an exte...
