Woohoo ?
That's progress right there to shake our psychological demons and come away with a win
I read (?? Source ?? accuracy) that we have 100% W rate when we kick the first goal.
If true, that's a fun fact for the day ?

Now, I am dying to see if a "please explain" comes his way from the AFL. My tip. Nothing happens. For years these tossers had a free ride from AFL HQ now when they start losing they start to bitch. We get an absolute reeming most weeks (especially this year) and nothing. Very interested to see the outcome of this seeing as we play the Dorks next Friday. >I could read that as Clarkson saying "my blokes gave away 9 more frees which gave the oppo the same advantage as having an extra player". I watch our blokes compared to other teams and we are the masters at giving away dumb free kicks in the worst possible place at the worst possible time. I sometimes think you couldnt do it if you tried but we do, week in week out.

Just watched the last 10 min again. North were never going to win. We dominated general play, just too hard to score in the conditions. No skill was going to be happening. Being a forward would've sucked big time. Only way North scored was due to a horrible in the back free kick.
Think I watched 10 min of the most horrible umpiring in years. Our issue was getting good leads then taking the foot off the gas. Need to bury sides when we have the foot on the throat. We were never losing that game but we have to do more than just enough.

Maybe play Willo off a wing, where he has a chance to attack with the left hoof of his.
I was also thinking that we need to do something for our co-Captain. Doc is being sweated on by defensive forwards to try to minimize his influence. Maybe we should give him some time in the middle to free him up.
Simmo is doing well enough, although not at his best. Jones and Weitering have not quite been as good as they were early. Jones struggled last week.
I know all too well that we tend to stick with the team that wins for the next round. I've never been that comfortable with that idea. I've always liked the idea of playing horses for courses. But now that there is doubt over both H and the Gov for next week (The Gov almost certainly won't play after a hamstring and a short break), we need to be very careful in selecting replacements. Certainly Tom de Koning comes to mind. He is mobile and takes a towering mark, as well as giving us options in the ruck.
I think we might play Moore again, but I am not a fan. I don't think he is up to senior football, even though he works very hard.

Maybe he needs to study Fyffe and Martin etc and see how they work off a tagger. AND those around him should let his tagger know that they are in for a hard day.Absolutely. Be as physical as we can on anyone stupid enough to try to mind Cripps.

Really missed Harry imo. Hes mobile and quick which spreads the defence and gives space to our smalls. The F50 looked congested and the kicking in was poor. Also reckon Cas really struggles being the main man. He is half the player he is when he is the support act.
All in all will take the win as I hate that mob. they had a few outs but we also were not at our strongest and won again without massive games from the usual. Signs are better and if we all click we would be a handful for any team.
Setterfield is starting to (thankfully) prove me wrong. He is getting more involved and more importantly is using it much better then he originally did.
Cunningham didn’t get it much but he impacted the game which in a tight one was massive.
Weitering is a bonifide star. AA lock if he conitues. Love how he goes about it.
Hawks are never easy and coming from 4 straight losses they will be hungry. Need to play better then we did today to knock those pr1cks off. Plus Clarkson whinging about umpires means they will get the rub of the green from the yellow maggots.

We're just as bloody entitled as any other club. The 5 day turnaround before the Hawthorn game will set some selection wheels spinning. And of course, no free to air
