RD 6 North v Eagles Review

[EAGLES]

who would have thought
North beaten by a superior team
High profile fans discussing umpiring decisions
Is it may already ?

[Drop Bear]

I don't think I saw North kick down the spine once during the entire match. Talk about indirect footy.

[spell_check]

I was talking about his game tally; I know there has been more kicked in a quarter. Ken Farmer would have done it, Fred Phillis kicked 8 in one of the quarters of the 1975 match vs Central and Bruce Schultz has also kicked 8.

Adam Richardson kicked 7 in the first quarter against South at Noarlunga one day IIRC.

You are quite right, I have the reports from that match, too. He kicked 12.0 for the day and the scores were:

Round 6 2001
West 11.1 14.3 20.6 23.7 (145)
South 3.1 6.5 8.6 14.12 (96)
Noarlunga, 1859

PS
Who in was the North fan the other TOPIC that said the EAGLES couldn't kick a winning score or have anyone to kick goals .
Funny it worked today guys .

Not funny at all, if you'd taken the time to read this topic before making comment you'd see I made the assumption Ken Macgregor would be Centre Half Back.
If he'd been named to play up forward I would have seen where the goals might come from.
What's wrong with you mate?
Why the sudden poor analysis of my comments after you get a rare win against my team? Im confused.
Why not analyse the game as opposed to trying and failing to pick apart others comments?

UM Wedgie it was GORAW who said that and already posted sunday night

[Mickyj]

Interesting you would pick those two cases against north .

Nothing interesting at all about it mate, I simply asked the question about those 2 as I was so close them (25 metres if that) and was completely bamboozled.
If there was a dodgy free kick down the other end of the ground I wouldn't question it as I'd put it down to how far away from the play I was but in the case of the 2 mentioned I was as close as the umpire if not closer.
If there was a couple against the Eagles that close to me I'd be asking the same question.
Genuinely thought I and the 100s around me might have missed something that was apparent from another angle.
Just asking the question.
I assume you don't have one from your response?

For me it was funny u were querrying 2 frees when the count so much in norths favour in the first half thats all .

EDIT
Sorry Wedgie I missed that u posted these last night .I wasnt ignoring your posts and i just finished a long work day today .
And the holding the ball seemed ok where I was sitting .
so many missed frees as the umpire stood with his/their hands over their eyes .
Last weeks umpires were umpiring the two's this week wonder if this lot will be next week as well,

We did the same in the second so many kicks went straight to North defenders or out on the full .
But the run in the third was great .

[whufc]

Well done to the Eagles - despite a few very good players out they are a genuine contender. Kenny's third term was brilliant.

I cant work out why Damon White started the 2nd half up fwd when the defense had been on top in the first half then got moved back when the Eagles had all the run and McGregor was on fire!

Woeful 3rd term by North in terms of tackling, chasing, pressure as mentioned in the paper by Healy who mentioned that for the first time this year we had 5 passengers. Not too hard to work out those he is referring too!

Sloane was way out of his depth and I am positive he only played because of Tapscott was missing due to bloody college Footy and we had Archard also missing. Wade Thompson??? looked good in the AFL pre-season but has hardly had a sniff for North. He is lazy and doesn't chase or put pressure on in the fwd line and with his pace he could do some damage. Healy should show him some tapes of what Matty Campbell does playing that role.

Pfieffer and K . Thompson - too soft and front runners. Zac Millar - has all the skills and smarts but sometimes his head is not in the game!

I thought David Clarke palyed a pretty good game and I'm suprised by constant criticism of him.

We lacked another key fwd option today and in reality with Schwarze out - Schubert should have been selected to play up and back if needed which was the case with White going fwd.

P.S. For your info whufc - Allan was our best and was BOG IMO, he certainly would have got the MM votes if we had won. 27 kicks 6 marks 12 handballs - 99 percent spot on re his disposal.

fair enough, i just asked the question. What i am also intersted in is how many of these possesions went more than 20 meters, sideways and backwards don't count. Once again just a question.

[Mickyj]

The thing is mate us true die-hard North supporters are getting pretty intolerant of waiting for very well paid imports to "work into their role" at the expense of our "free" locally developed juniors - for god's sake we have not had a premiership since 1991 (that is 18 years) so please Rod don't give me that "reasonable contributer (sic) so far this year" shite re Clarke (I will pull out his stats if you like since he joined NAFC but I would rather not) so don't make excuses for sub-standard performances because we as true long time supporters will no longer accept that from the current regime.

It is truly time fror change if that is the case.

Some of your "free" local juniors end up at places like Oval ave due to your imports .One did well in the our two's sunday .

A great weekend out with all grades winning - 4 out of 4!

The singing of the club song at presentations by all present was also great to be a part of too!

Did you pass that Flask around at the club CD

Fair enough, you're easily amused, I saw two things right next to me that confused me, I seeked clarrifcation as I thought someone might have seen something I and those around me didn't, none came.
The umpiring as a whole didn't concern me and I actually thought 2 of the 3 umpires did a good job.
I'm a bit afraid to ask any questions from now on if I'm going to be accused of being 'funny' everytime.

Its irrelevent mate, the fact that SOMEONE couldn't see where the goals were coming from on paper for the Eagles and the fact their named CHB saved the day with 6 goals actually proves that the SOMEONE was correct.
You should be praising them for their football knowledge instead of thinking it was funny.

So its funny if someone asks a legitimate quesiton when they're confused and its funny when someone has the same insight as Ron Fuller?
You're easily amused mate.
I'm just glad we win 80% of the games against the Eagles these days if it means we avoid these sort of weird posts 80% of the time.

One could see that 80% going down the North toliet after sundays loss
the flood doesnt work against every team guys

Actually one could see 100% going down to 80% after Sunday's game but your post is accurate as nothing goes down the toilets at Prospect as they block up most of the time so the 80% doesn't go anywhere.
ie 4/4 to 4/5

Not really a confession as its pretty common knowledge, she even was nice enough to come to the rally I organised back in 2003.
Ive only met her a couple of times and Ive never voted Labour in my life but she was quite a nice lady.
Mind you I am envious of the Bays as I'd prefer Kate Ellis.

Fair Enough, had no idea. Nice lady fine, but Can't say I rate her ability to do a job at all from her time in ACC & as education minister... FAIL.

Kate ain't bad but she needs to do Ralph or FHM. Mind you we're happy at the Eagles with Sandra Sully
