Can't believe the lack of attention on our mids - around the stoppages and in defensive structures - Gibbs, Murph, Cripps, Curnow etc.
All, ALL had SHOCKERS - that is why we were pumped - not because of Goldstein or our forward line.

And yes, Cripps looks very "banged up". Murph and Gibbs just got caught up in the media BS again.....

This result was bound to happen with some serious outs for our side and an inexperienced line up to start with at full strength. It's amazing we didn't get belted by 20 goals IMO.

Gibbs was good in the first half. Cripps better in the second.
Goldy killed us.

Not as bad as the NRL TV broadcast. They have canned crowd noise played after every tackle. Listen carefully next time. Reminds me of the looped slow mo crowd noise they used to play on World of Sport when playing non televised game highlights.

Yes, pretty accurate summary. It's hard to win clearances when you're playing a novice ruckman against the best in the business.

Their banner also caused us a bit of amusement as it was suspended from a couple of helium balloons and attended by only two cheer squad members, reflecting no doubt the size of their membership base? Actually the whole atmosphere there was rather weird and certainly felt very contrived. Certainly not reflective of a team yet to be beaten this year? ???

It's a lot harder to see on TV, but we totally lack any forward structure and get sucked up the ground far too easily.
I said this after the Suns game I went to earlier in the season and it doesn't seem to have changed, but it is crazy to see our mids running forward but then not having anyone to kick it to. Instead, they stop, prop, get tackled, often causing a turnover. Bolts, please sort this out !!
Gibbs' stats might look good, but I actually thought he had a stinker, he gets lost in our zone far too easily for my liking. The number of times I saw him running around like a chook with his head cut off trying to work out where he was meant to be might have been laughable if he wasn't a senior player on the team.
Murphy is just a gun, I've noticed this the last couple of weeks, and it stood out even more being at the game, his 2nd or repeat efforts are just amazing, jeez he must be fit !!
I'm really excited in Casey Byrnes development, he was BOG for us this week for me, even eclipsing Docherty who also played quite well.
I was really impressed with a couple of Sumners tackles inside our F50, he was providing some really good pressure. Shame he didn't finish his work off with a few more goals.
Did I read somewhere we took 9 marks inside 50? It was certainly a few, but then why are so many of our guys afraid to go back and take the responsibility for a shot at goal?

It took the AFL's money to make a decent football Club out of North Melbourne lol
Oh and that pathetic curtain thing they use as their banner... OMFG!! Is it a footy team running onto the ground, or the cast of the Phantom of the Opera lol.

I just got tired of watching the tide of blue and white striped bodies surging away from stoppages offering a multitude of options to the clearer! They had a pretty handy quartet in Swallow, Zeibell, Dal Santo and Cunnington at work.
