WHY DID WE KEEP ON KICKING LONG TO 4 ON ONES?
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CRAP AFTER HALF TIME?
BTW, I SAW THAT SPRINT BY HISLOP TOO, HE MOVED LIKE LIGHTENING, JUST MISSED CATCHING HIM (A LOT OF GOOD IT WOULD DO WITH THE STUPID UMPIRES) . ALSO MADE SOME HARD HITS.
SHANE EDWARDS WAS VERY GOOD TOO, CONSIDERING HE HAS THE BODY OF A PREPUBESCENT GIRL.
BUT DAMNIT, THIS MAKES ME ANGRY.
DID WE TRY TO TANK OR ARE WE JUST RUBBISH?
I HAD TO SIT WITH 4 NORTH SUPPORTERS AND I JUST COULDNT REALLY BELIEVE WHAT WAS HAPPENING
WHERE BOTH TEAMS JUST TRYING TO OUT TANK EACH OTHER?

Happened a lot when Newman took the kick-ins after a point. Today his favourite was "kicking it long to a ruckman slightly off center to the right". He's so slow, and unbelievably predictable. Well, to everyone else except for Vickery or Graham, neither of which managed to mark a single torp from the opposition goalsquare all day.
We looked SO much better when McMahon was kicking in, predominantly in the 1st half. Newman should be left around the wings as a link up man, as his delivery inside 50 isn't bad, and he's capable of kicking a long running goal (unlike 95% of our remaining midfielders).
I'm ok with the long kicks when there is no short option. Naturally, it will be better when Goose learns to take an overhead mark and Post/Vickery get a bit more size.
In addition, we had our three best crumbers (Cotch/Cuz/Foley) out so were always going to struggle around the spoil situations.

Unlike Boremour we have a hungry jacks now Captain, the brekky wrap washed down with another brekky wrap may just get me though to morning teaCptJonno2Madcow2005 said:

I see that a number of people are concerned at Dean Polo's performance.
I must admit, I have never seen him do anything much for us apart from his first game, but I wonder what types of roles he is being asked to play? When we drafted him, I remember that there was a big wrap on him for a tagging job he did on Ryan Griffin in the U18 Champs. In hindsight, that might not have been such a big deal anyway (can't believe people crucify Tambling ahead of this bloke with regard to Buddy Franklin).
But is Polo being given much of a run with role in playing for us? If not, any apparent reasons why?

Only saw the replay this morning as being in SA i had to endure power and crow games on FTA / Foxtel.
How we lost after half time was really annoying. Some good signs from the players. Someone please tell me why Jake King didnt get a holding the ball decision today ? That was insane. Two in a row that were clear as day in fact.
Edwards, Hislop, Tambling, Jack, Morton, Post all very good signs.

My biggest qualm with Hilslop at the moment is his slow disposal. He is getting caught holding the ball a lot because he often takes an eternity to get rid of it.
