Oh excellent. With Brad Scott’s pending departure from North, the rumours now gain some traction that Horse will join Shawry there
Good scrapping effort. Especially with Hewett and Kennedy not there in the final quarter. Really hard to get it moving forward from the clearances, without those two and with Grundy being so dominant. Parker continued his recent tough efforts, though every who did midfield time battled hard: Heeney, Florent, Clarke, Fox, and it seemed that even Lloyd was doing a bit of time in close.
I thought all the defence played well: even if there was the occasional lapse.
Reid, more of that, please.
And did anybody see what happened to Hewett? I know he was cut open and concussed, but how did he get that way? I don't think that Channel 7 showed any footage.
Didn't like losing but we worked really hard all game. Brown should have been pinged for running 28 metres when he kicked that goal but we had our chances. That miss by Hayward was critical. If he kicks it we lead by 15. His game was absolute rubbish and that's being kind. 3 kicks and 2 handballs is not good enough. When he did get near the footy his efforts were weak. Maybe a week in the 2's might wake him up.Thinks he is tough in the push and shove but when push comes to shove he is not to be seen.
Also why Rampe on the outer wing, when were 9 up, beat his man then gave a poor handball to Clarke inboard is beyond me. We were really playing well and he should have gone deep into the forward line. Maybe he couldn't see from the other end of the ground that Reid had kicked 6 majors.
Unlucky we lost 2 bulls and are far from the side that can cover
A few guys quiet tonight, good effort but a lost opportunity
Clarke has found his spot
Sinclair more than serviceable
Time to step up Heeny, dawson, papley hayward

A bit harsh on Papley. He has been great the last couple of weeks and although no goals today I thought his attack on the ball and the opposition was still good.
In his post match presser Horse suspected that Kennedy will miss few weeks with knee injury. Didn't hear him update on Hewett as Ch 7 annoyingly cut away from his interview before completion. However Horse thought the team took another step forward despite the loss & was very proud of tonight's effort.
That’s the most miserable take on a game I’ve heard in a while. Outstanding effort - unfortunately, a few of our kids went missing, and the Pies just got the rub of the green (&, yes, I’ll put some of the blame on the umps).
9 players? I reckon 3, maybe 4 at best.
Rampe was brilliant tonight, so I’m not gonna get involved with that. But Didn’t look that obvious from where I was sitting at the time - but the replay doesn’t look great.
From the same seat, i did think Brown ran a long way & the highlights confirm that he’s run at lest 20 metres.
A solid effort overall & with a bit of luck we’d have taken down the scum.
