Three things I've learned-V North round 6

[hujsh]

3. If Jaryd Waite had of played for us we would have won.

I think he'd have missed every shot in a Red White and Blue jumper unfortunately. Back to Waite Classic

[Webby]

1. Tom Boyd is more important to us than many realise

2. We played poorly, yet were out scored by one shot

3. When we're fully manned, we will be dangerous. Flag dangerous

[always right]

1. Without the run of Murph and JJ, and the absence of Suckling, we really lack good ball users who can slice an opposition apart. Really missed Caleb's poise and ball use.
2. We hardly had any clean ball going forward but we still need forwards willing to lead towards the ball carrier. To many run back towards goal inside of presenting.
3. Stringer continues to fly for ridiculous marks. He's never taken one of them so he needs to play the percentages more.

[Greystache]

1. We are as bad a kick for goal as any team in recent history

2. Anyone who thinks we're a top 4 contender is kidding themselves.

3. Why bother working on anything when you can't convert from 10m out.

[BulldogBelle]

1. Two big holes. One in the backline - Roberts: one in the forward line - Dale.
2. Two better players for these positions not picked at the selection table - Hamling and Redpath.
3. Injuries have taken their toll.

[boydogs]

1. North are the real deal, they look dangerous going forward and didn't give us room to move all night

2. Stringer's game suffers when he has to be the #1 marking target

3. Hunter has taken his game to another level, going to be in Brownlow calculations if he keeps this up

[SonofScray]

1. Injuries have killed us. Our personnel at the moment doesn't fit the men of mayhem style. We probably need to go long up the boundary more.

2. I feel like we under rate Boyd's influence inside 50. We were a tall forward short tonight. Out marked everywhere but it hurt us inside 50.

3. Our defence held up pretty well, in a McCartney Era performance.

Talk about throwing the toys out of the cot.

Not at all. Despite not improving on glaring weaknesses in 2 years I think we're going great. If we can play the bottom 6 teams every week 40 shots at goal for 15 goals is fine. You must be thrilled.

[FrediKanoute]

1. Hunter is a gun (though sometimes his disposal could be better)
2. There is a reason for 100 years of Aussie Rules you generally have 2 big guys in defence
3. Missing set shots is costly

We haven't improved in 2 years? Ok.

[bornadog]

1. Teams have worked out a game plan to counter ours, so we need a plan B

2. Experienced teams can still beat inexperienced. North had 11 players with more than 150 games, and on average twice as many games per player than us.

3. We need to think about who should come in for next week as we could have a repeat performance.

Glaring weaknesses, didn't think it was a covert message but if it makes it simpler- Goal kicking is pathetic, if it weren't for Dickson's accuracy we'd be the worst in recent history. Contested marking is as bad as it gets also. Perhaps it's just better to day we're 4-2 and lots of teams would kill for that.

We're grouse!!1!

Thankfully, finals spots aren't handed out in April so we have time to get 3 or 4 of our best 22 back when it matters most.

I'm not going to go down the melt down route in round 6, but certainly, if it makes you feel better, go for it.

We need to play the top 8 teams after round 6. But we'll be grouse by then so I don't think we should worry about trying to do anything.
