WHAT A LOAD OF baLONIE

LONIE prepares for a final for NA all week
WILSON gets injured for PP saturday
LONIE did not play for NA as PP ruled him out

Spare a thought for LONIE a young man who didnt get to play a game of
football this weekend despite both his AFL/SANFL teams playing in finals

WHAT A LOAD OF baLONIE

What If

Port sait to LONIE, "mate give today a miss because your going to the big dance next week"

do you honestly believe Lonie would care that he missed today

[Mickyj]

As long as Lonie plays for the Power and not North next week I'll be happy. And i think Lonie would be as well.

And IF that was the case do you reckon Andrew Jarman would care ?

[sydney-dog]

Mal, your cooment was

I'm saying, if he plays for the power next week, he would not give a shite

this is the Risk SANFL sides take when they play AFL listed players who's club are still participlating in the finals

If I was Chocko, I would be looking towards Symes before Lonie, obviously that is not the case

Symes to the Crows

He has no right to care. Lonie is a power player not a north player.
Any way north can change the rules to siut themselves. I thought ladhams wasnt going to play today.

100% correct, dogs.
I am ever amazed at how some fans get sooooo upset at AFL player issues, especially come finals time. If your SANFL doesn't contribute to the salary of the player, GET OVER IT...

Lonie would most definitely much rather be a part of the AFL build up any day. Sheesh.

I don't think there are any North fans complaining on this thread... Regardless, he was a pretty big loss today and I'd be disappointed if I was a North fan knowing he was pulled out at the last minute, given his importance to their team over the last month or two.

What a load of bollocks. how did North "change the rules to suit themselves" by playing a North player that may or may not have ben fully fit.

Just stick to the topic dogs1 if you are going to post.

PS
Agree with you 100% re Lonie. He is a Port player not a North player, but that doesn't stop if being a sh1ter that he gets pulled so close to the North v CD game, and doesn't make me fell any happier about it.

Exactly right Aerie. If Port want to pull him, they have every right and it was disappointing that it happened and like you say, at the last minute. We could have done with a couple of those long straight bombs today.

Something needs to be sorted out with this crap. North lost 2 players it expected to have in the team because of the Paaaah. Let the blokes play a game of bloody footy!

It is Port's right to do what they want with their players. Lonie is a handy player as is Damian White who didn't get through training during the week so was never really in the mix. North recruited well enough not to have to rely on AFL listed players and in the end that had nothing to do with the final result today.

What might have made a difference would have been:
1. Straight kicking from at least 10 "getable" shots although Centrals seemed to catch that dsiease but moreso after they had firm* control of the game. It must frustrate the hell out of the players dwon field to see our fwds despite some aerial dominance miss so many easy shots! Gill's two last quarter misses costy us any chance of a win in the end despite any of the other misses previously.
2. Finding some leg speed in the midfield and out of contested packs - Centrals killed us all day in that regard. Allan is clearly nowhere near 100 percent, Motlop should never have played with his ankle and his apparant desire not to win a fifity-fifty ball. Our other on ballers are not the quickest - Younie, Ladhams Howard, Krieg and Sporn. Not having Ryswyk's pace out wide is also hurting us. Bamford, he has been a great servant but had a quiet one and gave no drive inbto the fwds all day. Even adding to the fact that both our Capt and Vice Capt can't get fit enough wouldn't have helped us because both of them are slow. Not too many other options at Prospect in that regards and in the warmer weather and on the big grounds we are struggling to give quick movement into the Fwds.
3. Not cough up the ball with the tight in and under pressure that Centrals applied all day. I thought we did okay for a half but the endless tackle and pack pressure to it's toll and Centrals were able to control the game.

It will take a big turnaround to lift those parts of our game to get over the Eagles again.

Agree with everything BPBRB.

Just how fit was Ladhams and Motlop today?
And don't forget the out on the full from Wundke in the 1st qtr when taking a set shot. Centrals took it straight down the other end and goaled. That made it a 12 point turnover in my book.

Like you said though, Centrals did miss their fair share of easy shots too

[Dogwatcher]

North supporters looking for a little bit of extra pace couldn't go too far wrong looking at Cohen Thiele from the ressies.
Plays as a rover in the first ruck. Silky skills. Deceptive. Could he make a dream league debut? I know ANJ's a fan of his....

Heard ANJ did his ankle the other day so decided to play a few crocks so he wasn't alone in carying an injury.

What a hero

Apologies for being off topic (again)

Too True.

Lonie is too good a player to be at north, he has only played seven games for them in two years. I'm sure he would rather player at the G.

Perhaps he could be the travelling emergency with port power, then get smashed with his power mates drowning their sorrows sat night. Jars could, and probably would still play him the next day. a bit like hargs.
