Rd 16 North v West Review

[drebin]

Maybe Allan's 3 or 4 early belly button tags to Morris and Birss was a contributing factor in his treatment.

Not to mention his straight through the ruck contest to try and take out a player (Morris) on a couple of occasions.

Come on muscles its football, was there any potential season threatening violence in any of it????

Its swings and round abouts, the flashier better little fellas with hot heads always cop a bit of a belting eg Clayton from the PAM's

Good to see that you admitted Allan was getting taken out off the ball but your clutching at straws if you believe Allan was the instigator! Allan started copping it from the West tags before the first bounce and as for running through the ruck contest to try and take a player out - don't make me laugh.

Maybe if West had concentrated on getting the ball early and not trying to snipe and niggle our players off the ball then you may not have been as far behind as you were at 1/4 time.

Poor dears, must remember not to be too rough with them next time

FFS - typical sore loser response - no wonder you club is in the mess it is in with dh's like you!

Feel free to do it again next time, IMHO West's lack of discipline in the first quarter cost them the game, similar to a lot of North v West games over the years, I hope they keep doing it forever!
I'm honestly suprised the amount of West supporters Ive heard complain about the umpiring but not about the lack of discipline of their team going so high in the tackles instad of actually getting the ball or laying legitimate tackles. It was pretty blatant IMHO.
Mind you its probably easier just to blame Tony Dey week in week out instead of addressing your team's problems.

[redandblack]

Yes, sorry, I'll have to learn not to question drebin's pronouncements in future.

I'll just have to quietly continue to support my undisciplined team. I should have realised that my second comment for the year about Tony Dey was two too many. Perhaps I should have discussed crowd figures instead, that rarely gets a mention

I've learnt my lesson. Next North game, no tackling, no roughness and definitely no comment on the game that might contradict the official version from the North supporters

Oh, well, there's always the politics forum. I can always have a nice debate there with my friend Psyber.

Such is life.

[Wedgie]

Whoops, sorry, forgot we can't have an opinion that's not the same as yours, won't happen again r&b.
I give you my opinion of events of the day and you carry on like that?
Maybe the game looked differently from where I stood to you which gave us a different opinion.
Maybe I stood near Drebin (which I did) hence why we had a similar opinion?

Crikey mate, its a forum, we're allowed to express our opinions too without you going off on another sook, generalisation or sarcasm fest.

[redandblack]

Oh, I could have sworn that I was called a dh for having a different opinion in the first place.

I apologise for not allowing you to have a response to my response to your response to my response which was responding to your original response in reply to my original response to drebin's response to my first response to him (I think). Or did I leave out one of his responses to my second response to him?

I thought my report of the game was reasonable and some kind posters even agreed, but I now realise it was inaccurate.

New Report: West v North

A fair, brilliant and absolutely fair North Adelaide comprehensively defeated an undisciplined, dirty, sniping rabble known as West Adelaide.

Signed........ Sook.

Thank goodness for forums

PS: Mate, I can't keep up with your post edits, so I'm editing this in response to your edit of your previous post

[Wedgie]

Crikey, if it makes you feel any better I agreed with 90% of your report too.
Why would you assume its innacurate if someone disagrees with you on one point out of many?
Why would you feel the need to make yet another stupid childish sarcastic comment by changing your report?

I could do the same but won't.

Crikey, I fear the day West will ever beat us.

To try and get you back on track, what did you think of McIntyres game on Bennett?
I know you mentioned already how well you thought Bennett played and I agreed with you but I'm perplexed that many North supporters and even the club put Macca as their best, I can't see how a guy who has 5 of the 7 goals kicked on him in a day can be in the best.
Interested in your thoughts.

[redandblack]

Well mate, it might surprise you to realise that I was just having a laugh with the above post. I suspect most readers would have come to that conclusion as well

As for McIntyre, I thought he took several good marks and played well, if it wasn't for the fact that his opponent killed him, kicked the vast majority of West's score and had him shifted at the start of the last quarter, I think.

Davis, who had been brilliant at CHB?, played on him in the last quarter and kept him quiet.

So, I wouldn't have had McIntyre in my best 8 North players, at least.

Cheers mate, I agree fully with you, not sure where the North supporters (and club officials) were standing at the ground.
I hope you don't mind but I've quoted you on the Roost since your view was exactly the same as mine on that matter.

[redandblack]

No worries.

What sort of response did you expect??? Your reference to "us" being sooks was directed not only at our players hinting that they are soft but also at me for beign a sook I would suggest, so if you bait the hook expect a bite! But in any case you made yourself look like the "sook".

So if you think Allan and co are soft - please elaborate??? Haven't heard Allan publically questioning the "unusual tatics" employed by his taggers yet your comment is for public consumption because you don't agree with some of the observations of an opposition supporter despite one of your fellow Bloods Supporters admitting to those tactics being used but blaming Allan as the instigator????

I will apologise for the reference to you being a dh though - that was not called for despite the baiting.

[redandblack]

We should both write for "Yes, Minister"

As for the apology, no problem.

Fair point - spin doctors it is then - Play on!

[Coorong]

And the original point of the argument was?

[locky801]

Watch out guys, the script writers from Neighbours or Home and Away will use that as a script, great debate IMHO, as you both said, this is what forums are for, in fact reading the comments when it got fired up a tad was a hell of alot better than watching the game

I've never seen the word crikey written once, let alone twice, in a post before.
Wedgie......are you the ghost of Steve Irwin????

lol, been saying 'Crikey' since I was a kid in the 70s, picked it up from my Mum decades before I's even heard of Steve Irwin. Its in a lot of my posts and daily conversations.
Never thought of any reasons I should drop it out of my daily speak and replace it with a n American equivelent even though most have.
Mind you Ive never been a big fan of Struth for some reason.
I get great reactions from Yanks when talking on Game Chat on World of Warcraft!


PS I just used the SAFooty search facility for the word Crikey with me as author and I got back 434 results! You'll see from that its not a rare occurance!
