You will beat us in a couple of weeks, Jimmy, make no mistake.

I'd love to hear the North Board's review of this game and the subsequent review of Andrew Jarman's tenure at the NAFC. I reckon the fat lady will be getting her vocals warmed up.

Phew, thanks Sturt, saved my weekend of betting.

Good to hear Barto on the radio after the game.

I didn't go to the game today but did North have any guns missing? I expected them to lose but not by that much.

Don't know them all, but Alleway, Ladhams and Ryswyk weren't there.

in a word, NO.
Alleway didn't play, he'd be the closest thing we have to a gun.

Maybe JArs should take the advice he gave Choco on the news tonight and start cleaning out the dead wood .... starting at the top.

Notice he didn't blame the coach, perhaps he should blame the Port Coach and blame the North Coach while he's at it.

How good must Rick MacGowan be feeling right at the moment!

Better than Josh Cubillo who's playing reserves for Sturt.
Bet Perrie's happy though.

[Barto]

Now that I realise how much VOIP costs, I think I might resurrect my old hobby of baiting 5AA talkback hosts

HA HA, give us notice so we can tune in!

[the joker]

was at the game today and i think that mcintyre (lazy and dumb footballer) Brett white (great Ressies player) and lukey ivens (just looks lost at the moment)
Should all be in reserves

also they missed Ryswick, alleway, and ladhams
although 3 players cant change 100 points

What a fantastic, clinical display of football by Sturt against South...errmmm I mean North today. Played in front, first to the ball, harder at the man with excellent chasing and tackling, won the ball in close, destroyed their opponents in the air, and most importantly, on the scoreboard.

North were on top for the first 4 minutes of the match I thought. They also dug a little deeper for the first 4 mins of the 2nd half and forced a plethora of stoppages, but apart from that they were smashed.

Take a bow Coad & Chambers...7 goals each. Coad in particular was just grabbing everything...and just when we thought we'd seen it all up pops Chambo with a pack mark 5 deep, surrounded by red and white. Other highlights included Coad's 3 rip snorter goalsquare marks, Feast's running goal, the 2 or 3 checkside goals (Chambers and ?), Whiteman's footy smarts on couple of occasions, and Papa's constant niggling of Allan. Magnificent! Others that were good were Gum (2 goals and a target all day at CHF), Sheedy, Feast, Whiteman, Wicks, McLeay, Thomson (mainly early on), Evans, Crane, McGlone and Fittock. Sharples was also typically "flashy" in patches early in the game. I must say Damon White looked completely buggered by 3/4 time. Is he really an AFL footballer?? Head down in the last quarter, he looked like a bloke contemplating retirement!

That was clearly the most polished display by Sturt so far in 2008. That said, I'm sure North supporters would agree that their team's effort was very very poor if not pathetic/insipid, so the win has to be seen in context.

Fantastic crowd too and what a perfect day day for footy! Now cows or puffs in action..must have been 4k+ there. I hear they got a similarly good turn out at the Bay. Quite a lot of red and white in the crowd but not a heap of noise to say the least. It was quite eerie at times.

I haven't visited the roost yet, but biy I can only imagine the back stabbing and sniping. Surely Jarman is now on thin ice...or is that inappropriate?
