Just watching the last quarter again. Really very impressed with Sullivan. In everything, cool, knows the system inside out, instrumental.

He can’t be dropped no matter who comes back.

What is amazing regarding this match is norf scored their first behind at the 2:45 min mark in first qtr then went on to kick 19 goals straight with their second behind kicked with less than 20 seconds left in the game!

This must be some sought of world record!

Even more amazing is that they managed to do this whilst kicking 4 behinds for the match.

Did Bruz get cited for that tackle? I haven’t heard anything so all good I think.

It’s funny you say that because while his last quarter ( and the later part of third quarter when the heat came off ) we’re good, I thought he and some others struggled with Norths pressure in the first half. Sullivan currently strikes me as one of those players who is too good for the VFL but still yet to prove himself when the heat is really on at AFL level. To be fair, Norths pressure in the first half was elite but coping with elite pressure is what separates the best from the rest. Both Sullivan and Ned Long will be interesting watches for the rest of the season.

I agree. Said as much in the game thread before the miracle started.

Sullivan has played well since making his debut. However, once we get Pendles, JDG and possibly Mitchell back, there will be no room for him in our side. I like the kid, but he is a depth player. Nevertheless, he is a good depth player.

Umpires won us the game today.

Well,don’t sound so unhappy about it,

[Dave The Man]

I'm actually not interested in arguing with those supporters who tossed in the towel early in the game. That's their right. That's their problem. Live with it.

However, I am always ashamed of supposed 'supporters' who personally attack any of our players, regardless of how bad they are playing. It's fine to be disappointed, and to point out our weaknesses, including a lack of intensity. But....NEVER EVER accuse our players of being weak or not trying.

Finally, I don't intend to call out any Nicksters, for their disrespectful and weak kneed in-game comments. They will no doubt be highly embarrassed by their own immaturity, without me needing to call them out.

Well people do thing and says things during a Game they would never say after the Game

Very Emotional Time

I’m happy to start a glass half empty match day thread next match if the mods will allow it…

[Raw Hammer]

A “Dry Area” and a “Wet Area” game day thread. Tasty.

It was reasonable for Sidey and Beau to think was was not 15 and so play on. In the deafening roar it was the right decision to reiterate he had paid the mark and bring them back

100% that is what likely happened. Not 15.

The explanation doesn't align with how the game is umpired. While technically, what Laura Keane said might be correct (but I doubt it), umpires have paid 50 for when a player encroaches before the he/she has blown the whistle or called stand.

So if Keane is saying this was correct, she also saying that umpires have been wrong about 50 times this year.

Reality is, it should have been 50 once the umpires deemed he took the mark and didn't play on.

Am I the only one who heard a secondary voice say “play on” when Scott took the mark?

On the Couch last night played the audio without commentary and I swear you can hear another voice say play on, obviously from another umpire who thought it didn’t travel 15.
