Actually really don't mind, and this deserves to be far bigger than 16 points. This will gloss over a poor performance.

 

[Spikey]

it's pretty great when the players are heavily tired

 

[Burgey]

Another turnover coming out of defence.

Is it the structure or the personnel, do you reckon?

 

[Jono]

Bad luck Benchy. Those hurt.

 

[benchmark00]

That's pathetic Petrie. Doesn't matter that you got flogged all game, kick a proper kick for goal.

did well to come back from where they were tbh

It's structure that makes it constantly one on ones. In stark contrast north hardly had a one on one in their fifty the whole time.

As for coming out of defence, a lot will be made of the Collingwood press but a lot of the turn overs coming out of the back were unpressured missing of targets. The coach can't do anything about that.

At the end of the day, Norths set up relies too much on a shoot out, and every now and again north are going to go bang and kick 150 points in a game, but more often than not they're going to get beaten.

If you can't beat Collingwood with 18 of their players out you never will. Bitterly disappointing. Can't gloss over this performance.

Only reason they came back was because North were fitter. On merits, they had no right.

nevermind, its only the second week of the first round. teams can come back, even your steelers had a win yesterday

 

[benchmark00]

On the plus side, that takes me to three correct tips for the year.
