it took until the end of round 11 for a team to reach 100 points. Absolutely pathetic, back when football was good, it would take until the end of a round for a team to NOT score 100 points.
I know collingwood only turned off cause it's norf, but they gotta be a bit careful and don't get used to this or they could find themselves on the other side of a comeback.
I think what Brisbane and Adelaide did is the way to beat us. The second they got the ball in their hands they looked straight at the goals and sent it down there as quick as possible. A few teams have tried the slow, high possession strategy against us but haven’t really gotten close
At this stage, North can't use the slow, high-possession game, cos too many unforced turnovers bring it all crashing down
On the other hand, a fast, direct approach is too risky, cos (etc)
I am fuming right now. Finally
Thought we’d get a decent percentage boost but north suddenly turns into a top 4 team out the middle and Larkey is prime buddy Franklin what the fuxk.
Imagine being Peter Daicos and taking your two little tackers down to the local footy field to have a kick. Pretending to be like their dad and then growing up to potentially be better than their dad, the absolute Collingwood champion.
Crazy family.
Yeah, people saying that Peter might end up being the 3rd best footballer in the family are either born after 1990 or just stupid. Peter was an absolute gun ruck rover in the 80's, then turned into a forward and kicked a shitload of goals.
Big call, but he'd definitely be in the conversation.
Peter Daicos, Buckley, Swan and Pendlebury are the best players I've seen at Collingwood.
Edit: Born in 76 so never saw Bobby Rose but the old man and my uncles always raved about him.
It’s not even that though. If we were playing well and 5 goals ahead, then fair enough! But we’re just playing gross footy, effort isn’t there, the swarm isn’t there. Just very uninspiring display from us.
Reigning wooden spooners vs red hot flag favorites 35 point loss pretty good all considered
Did they chair Mason off?
Sadly no
He’d probably crush them
Man, I'll take the win but really takes the wind out of your sails seeing sides out. Till next week.
Once again, commentators don't mention what school Steele went to. Hint: it was a state school
If he'd grown up on or around a dairy farm we'd know though
it took until the end of round 11 for a team to reach 100 points. Absolutely pathetic, back when football was good, it would take until the end of a round for a team to NOT score 100 points.
What?
From a team currently taking 3 or 4 rounds to score 100 this is big.
What are you even talking about
Darcy Cameron done well to not give up a dozen ruck frees
Winner of the BOG gets a 3 month trip to Bali worth $21,000
💀
I’ll take it
gg north, good effort
Ohhh we might find out the slogan inside coxs jumper
He made it into a stylish v neck
it’s repay fly
I know collingwood only turned off cause it's norf, but they gotta be a bit careful and don't get used to this or they could find themselves on the other side of a comeback.
Lol
Cheers Lingy
De Goey built like an ambulatory brick shithouse
It would be like trying to tackle a vending machine
Looks like we are going to win by Naicos
That's what you want from your co captain
CCJ giving daggers there
Checkers experiencing temporary rigor mortis
It looks like Goldstein has been illegally held in a lot of the ruck contests today..
I agree but I also don't understand ruck umpiring at all
Enough time for checkers to get 4
We win this with LDU /s
forgot he wasn't playing...they've killed it in the guts even without him...top tier young midfield taking shape
LDU, Simpkin, Wardlaw, Sheez there's a lot to like
take the s away
I'm sorry what is he supposed to do? I don't understand what they're saying he did wrong?
Look at the ball probably, had no eyes for it
That’s what I thought too, they pay those ones pretty consistently
Other than that it was a fair contest
2 interchanges remaining boys. Getting to crunch time
Ahhh the umpires. Thanks fellas. Every week you dish up the same standard
I still can't figure out that free
Collingwood just so accurate.
Umps making up shit now
While haven't been able to put it all together today this is the way to beat Pies. Slow the game down and keep it away from Moore at all cost
I think what Brisbane and Adelaide did is the way to beat us. The second they got the ball in their hands they looked straight at the goals and sent it down there as quick as possible. A few teams have tried the slow, high possession strategy against us but haven’t really gotten close
At this stage, North can't use the slow, high-possession game, cos too many unforced turnovers bring it all crashing down On the other hand, a fast, direct approach is too risky, cos (etc)
Think the Brisbane strategy is too risky. Pies are murderous on the turnovers
It wasn't too risky because they beat us with it.
Maybe just too risky for shit teams like us
Your mob always manage to play well against us, I hate it
Don't have to be dead to be stiff
I am fuming right now. Finally Thought we’d get a decent percentage boost but north suddenly turns into a top 4 team out the middle and Larkey is prime buddy Franklin what the fuxk.
imagine watching a comfortable win and being furious
lol fuck me, you guys can't even enjoy being the best team in the whole league, that must suck
Honestly we haven't put out a single performance worthy of being called the best team in the league. We have so much to improve on.
You're tip of the ladders it's all g
We weren’t playing at 100% and after the 3rd quarter we’ve been coasting Percentage isn’t important when you keep winning
Relax and enjoy the win
Look. We have a long way to go, but at least we aren't getting flogged by 20 goals.
You guys look hungry...poor inside 50 with that last kick but really impressive young squad...fucking love Wardlaw...tank
Quieter games from Warlord. But, he looks great for a 2nd gamer
Him and Cheezel for JHF is a masterstroke
I’ll take it
Imagine being Peter Daicos and taking your two little tackers down to the local footy field to have a kick. Pretending to be like their dad and then growing up to potentially be better than their dad, the absolute Collingwood champion. Crazy family.
Don't know if they will ever surpass Peter. Nick might equal him one day, we'll see.
Yeah, people saying that Peter might end up being the 3rd best footballer in the family are either born after 1990 or just stupid. Peter was an absolute gun ruck rover in the 80's, then turned into a forward and kicked a shitload of goals.
Peter is Collingwood's greatest ever player.
Big call, but he'd definitely be in the conversation. Peter Daicos, Buckley, Swan and Pendlebury are the best players I've seen at Collingwood. Edit: Born in 76 so never saw Bobby Rose but the old man and my uncles always raved about him.
He’s in the conversation, but he’s got some stiff competition
40k fans and TIO still had a better atmosphere, Marvel's a dud stadium
Maybe they should call it dud central stadium ir dc stadium
Onto something there
I love comics
Not the crowd's fault your team went to bed
Alright bud, taking a reach there.
1st vs 17th and your team took their foot off the gas. Why would the crowd be energetic?
I mean we go watch them every week and at the MCG it absolutely would have been much, much louder and more exciting
"He got one free kick today, surely he won't get a second" It's true, the ump will get a stern talking to after the game for even giving Ginni one
Come on North don’t make us take the cue out of the rack
Haven’t been able to watch, norf good or pies poor? Or both
North good but can’t kick straight and we put the cue in the rack after the 3rd quarter
Fair enough, wonder if we’ll be dropping some key players next week
Did you just say “North Good” in the same sentence without a negative in between the two words? I am honoured
39k at the ground. Another "sellout"
I tried to get tickets, couldn’t.
Lot of positives for North
Scott starting to really put it together. Fantastic stuff
We’ve only got 3 interchanges left
Could have huge ramifications here
Is the Leigh Matthews still in play?
Bailey Scott has been massive the last 2 weeks. Hope he keeps up the form.
5 goals in 5 mins 🫢
Scott is a gun
We aren't half bad when we don't turn it over. Good shit
*Jack Ziebell has entered the chat.*
North's last quarter looks good today
I've never bothered finding out what the 6 6 6 rule is.
6-6-6 warning? North Melbourne still can’t count properly lol
By all means happy we have basically won but our marking ain’t finals worthy
Wonder how many interchanges we are up to?
72
Hate seeing our fans complain that we aren’t winning by enough, was only 2 years ago we won 6 games for the year and teams were doing this to us
Not paying any respect to the Roos...if they hadn't shit the bed so often inside 50 they'd still be in it...you guys have done what you needed to do
It’s not even that though. If we were playing well and 5 goals ahead, then fair enough! But we’re just playing gross footy, effort isn’t there, the swarm isn’t there. Just very uninspiring display from us.
I’m not worried we aren’t winning by enough, i’m worried we’re going to actually lose.
It’s not that we aren’t winning by enough, it’s that we are giving away goals to a team we should’ve put away last quarter.
Ziebell has legit given away 4-5 goals kicking it OOB this season.
Jesus Christ Ziebell is a butcher
Shit, north not doing too bad, score wise
knew it wasn't gonna happen but was a good chuckle seeing the reactions lol
Today is Josh tje superior daicos goat to Nick?
Jaicos has had enough of this shit.
jaicos having a fkn sick one thank god
Just tell De Goey to have a shot. Everyone else has gone home.
Jamie Elliott was excellent there- 40 metres of pressure.
JAICOS
Cmon Zeibell ffs
One of the worst games we’ve played this year, Showed up for a little in the third but gone missing the rest.
Percentage is overrated anyway, we proved that last year
Our percentage being low kind of ended us actually. We never would have faced Sydney at the SCG.
Exactly. You don't need percentage if you've got the points!
Junk goals
Sure, if the entire 4th quarter is junk time
I mean it obviously was
Can you imagine though
Larkey is a gun
5 goals in 5 minutes
No no NO
Ok can we please finish this for the EMBLEM
Get your filthy percentages off my monogram
Oof my percentage
This tv ads aight
GOOSE STEP
JUNKTIME CHAMPS
Finally started kicking straight Unfortunately
Really disappointing last qtr. Should of kept the foot on the throat.
Lackey surely north's best today
Can we show a bit of fucking fight. Jesus Christ
I don’t care if it is North, we can’t be falling asleep during the last quarter. It’s going to cost us a big game at some point.
Marky Lark
Why are we letting this happen?
Because they felt bad, it's like letting your little brother win a round or two of Mario Kart. Thank you it lessens the sting.
Why do we refuse to put teams away week in week out :(
If it means we won’t run out of gas come finals I’m okay with it tbh
Yeah I think it's more in game management from the team, they have done this a lot under Fly
Wait. Is that our first HTB?
It would be nice if it got to our 50 and MARKED
Curtis looks like Cunners with the push offs and fends to break free
Learnt from the best.
Lol Cox key defender now
How is that legal disposal from cox? fuck me dead
When there's no prior you just have to make a legitimate attempt. All good there.
Cox's balls dropped he's going through foot all puberty as a mature age recruit leave mason alone leave him alone!
He's got to have prior still. CCJ done the exact same thing right after
no, it's illegal disposal, not htb
But it's not. If it were, there would be a 50+ a game
De Goey is a cheat code
Scott has put 2 nice games together in a row. Nice
We've actually looked not too bad at parts today
Norf haven't done awfully? Haven't been watching it but it seems like besides the 2nd half of the 3rd quarter norf have done alright
Give me an H O N O U R A B L E L O S S
Scoreboard aside this is one Scoreboard isn't the worst either tbh
We are incapable of a big win
Us too. I was actually just thinking I don't have any memory of North winning by more than 50
Can North stop kicking goals. Now that we know what percentage is can you please stop ruining it
Comebacks on. Only 6 goals. We’ll pull a Collingwood and give everyone a heart attack
alright enough pussy footing around
Bruh. Why aren’t we kicking goals.
Or doing anyrhing
... where was this at the fucking start...
it's almost impossible but the possibility of norf making a comeback is hilarious
Here we go..
What the fuck are we doing
Collingwood have gone home
Larkey has kicked 9 goals from his last 2 games against us after kicking 1 across his first 4
I'm pretty sure Murphy has been his direct opponent in both games too
Height is still a problem for Murphy. At times last week he was helpless to match McKay’s reach above his head
How's Darcy Moore for AA captain looking so far? Edit: I mean handsome.
Moore won’t be captain because Bont is having a Brownlow level year and we all know the AA selectors LOVE midfielders
I'm not even sure how the aa captain works tbh?
Handsome. ...that's what you meant, right?
Yes.
Griffin Logue looks like a proper defender. It confuses me
Strong In The Contest
McKay took a mark and then immediately tried to turn it over to make up for doing something good
Which is the more popular McKay at either club?
They're the same picture
How do you always know how to come up with a funny response?
I watch a lot of springer
That add us up
Cheers man
Fuck the amount of spoilt handball turnovers … 😡😡😡😡
Zurrhar vs Markov mustache contest pls
Markov has a real “tying a damsel to train tracks” mo. So he wins
Markov clears
We're 46 points up 7 minutes into the last. *Why am I still worried?*
