Just pressed the "delete" button on the foxtel IQ

Will look forward to viewing "Hawke" tonight on channel 10.

I think our worst effort this year.

ID like to think Im pretty positive after the worst lost but I can't find anything. Not 1 single positive.. Maybe Cousins but even then I thought he was only OK..

Can't believe how
many player didn't work hard enough today. I'm sure there are relevant excuses but ge today effort wise was just a huge contrast to the last month..

I hope the clean out next year isn't reactive on a few games that show signs players like King, McGuane, Nahas need a pretty good excuse to prove they have a heap of development left..

I only listened to the game on the radio (6pr) but I didn't hear the names Tambling,Farmer and White very often.

Unfortunately I did hear the term "rabble" on a regular basis.

North were terrific I thought.

Another very young team, but physically more imposing than us right now and in the conditions they had a very good grip on things. I still like our list, but there is no denying that they have a good young midfield, Goldstein will be a gun and I'd say that a few of their younger fellas have had the advantage of training with blokes like Archer, Simpson and Harvey.

Im with you pope to a certain degree although this game was very lacklustre I think a few people saw this coming.  With the shear age of our team it was only a matter of time before we dropped a game.  I think the real measure will come next week against Collinwood and if we can bounce back, even though I don’t think we will beat them we need to see some of the attitude we saw over the last 6 weeks.
As for the continuing clean out there should be some very nervous players in todays team.  One out of McGuane, Thurstfield & Moore needs to be traded.  Edwards went back a long way today, I have a feeling he is a fair weather player which is not what we need.  King tried hard but he really is lacking in some areas.  Nahas has to be on his last few chances.  Last but certainly not least is Tambling, someone on here suggested he was following certain instructions, if they are to run around in circles without doing anything positive in the game then he is doing it well.   
Mostly I think this game shows how much we need Nason, Jackson and Griffiths in the team for varying reasons.

Amazing what a few wins does for perspective.

Today we were flat, everywhere across the ground.

Mat the word rabble is not appropriate, nothing like the true rabble like we saw last year. They never really dropped their heads and they tried most of the day but it just wasn't happening.

Credit must be given to North. They pressured us and absorbed the pressure we applied early. Their skills in those conditions were very good.

One thing  we have been really good at of late is getting numbers to the contest, North beat us all day in this aspect.

At three quarter time Leppitch said they were playing like tired bodies, which they were.

This loss is far from the end of the world - just a reality check.

its because they were the worst on the field.

Tambling= No 1 dud in our club.

you only have to listen to the Richmond Crowd when he touches thew ball to know people have had enough of his crap. JON all over again.

Farmer can be forgiven as he has had a good few weeks.

White was terrible and Vickery

Bring in Browne FFS

Collingwood are flying and we will be without Cotchin and Jacko again. We will get done by 10 goals even if we play OK.

Most important thing is that Hardwick gets the players back to the core message. We had a little taste of what its like to win, but to do it for 22 games the players will realise thy have a lot of work to do.

The first half was OK but you could see we were down a notch

The second half was very poor

[peggles]

who cares.

i've already gotten enough out of this year. 

we can have no more wins for the rest of the year and i'll still come away happy

North have owned us for years. Thought with a whole new group of kids that might change. I reckon they're the litmus test for us, where we should measure we're we're at. We have a long way to go, but that's to be expected if we look at it realistically. WE should get flogged next week based on today,. HOpe ti doesn't rain :-(

[jackstar is back again]

tambling is a real worry

[crannyvegas]

tired players. took there effort down a little bit today and got beaten as a result.

played out of there skins last week with a reduced ability to rotate. not the game you want before you rock up to a wet MCG.
 
hope they increase the intensity next week, but it will be tough given the outs we may have.

Tambling & Vickery should have a go in the red and blue uniform next weekend though.

tambling is a real worry

Didn't even notice he was out there to be honest.
