[one-eyed]

All Norf this quarter.

2 - 22


All sense of structure has broken down .

Half time

Richmond    0.2      0.2-2
North Melb.  1.2     3.5-23


Norf lifted their workrate and pressure and we just turned to a clueless disorganised rabble  .

[WilliamPowell]

Another stellar half of footy. Goalless again.

All sense of structure has broken down .

What structure 

We get the ball and have to play happy handball because every player is forward of centre. So there is no one to kick it to

That's on the coach and his game plan. It's made to look worse when the skill level doesn't suit the happy handball game

At least the rain appears to be going around us 

[one-eyed]

Must admit I've not watched any games but turned this on for 5 mins. Not sure any coach could do much with the skill level on show except get it and kick it long.  Like the U12s keep the handballing & switch kicks to a minimum.

No one is disputing we have an ordinary list than to recruiter Sheahan. But stupid over-handballing is part of Ferguson's so-called "gameplan". He doesn't realise it puts us under pressure with the ball and causes confusion off the ball with teammates totally out of position as they don't know what to do or where to be.

Egan inside 50 and Greiser actually uses her body to take the contested mark 45 out. Goal! 

Finally!


Rich   1.2-8
Norf   4.5-29

[one-eyed]

Can we actually pick up an opponent out there? .

[one-eyed]

That Lynch HTB sums us up. We just don't know what each other is doing  .

[one-eyed]

Wicksteed quick kick inside 50 and Yassir marks 30 out. Goal!

Rich  2.2-14
Norf  4.7-31

3/4 time

Richmond    0.2      0.2      2.2-14
North Melb.  1.2     3.5       4.7-31

Goals: Greiser, Yassir


If we are going to kick long to a contest at CHF then you would think the coach would instruct our smalls to be front and square and not leave the tall isolated as soon as the ball hits the ground .

Credit to Yassir that quarter.

Wonder if Milzy broke team rules 

[one-eyed]

The rain is coming down now for the last quarter. Let's see if our dopey coach gets us to play wet weather footy and K.I.S.S.

Wonder if Milzy broke team rules 

[one-eyed]

LOL.

Yep let's wait for your teammate to pick up the loose ball in D50 and not shepherd them .

Then let a high ball in the wet be marked on the chest 12m out .


14 - 37
