3 or 4 efforts of his over the ball in the last quarter looked like he simply couldn't get down to it. Not writing him off but that was his bread and butter. Scoop it up a snap or give off.

Saturday night was a strange one. Usually when North lose I'm deadset filthy and can pinpoint the areas we were clearly beaten in. Not so this game.
I said to the missus during the last qtr that if we got up it would be one our gutsiest wins. Yes we lost Dal during the week, Wells was a late withdrawal, but then Ziebell went off for good in the opening minutes and Wright had to sit out the mandatory 20 mins for the concussion test. Our three arguably best onballers out plus a man short on the bench making rotations a nightmare in what was a frantically high paced game. The bounce of the ball seemed to elude us time after time & we certainly weren't helped in any way by the poor umpiring - the inconsistencies, the refusal to recall a centre bounce when it clearly favoured Ryder (3 different occasions) yet both times when it favoured Goldstein sure enough they remembered the rule again and called it back (all turned into centre clearances for Port) - and then there was the one where White ran somewhere between 23-28 metres to an open goal with out bouncing the ball - this was the most blatant. Having said all this we still found a way to be in front late in the game - which is why none of what I've written above is why we lost. We simply weren't good enough in the end - weren't desperate enough for long enough. Port were slightly better and more composed.

The clown in marketing plus the buffoon in management that ticked this off need to be smacked over the back of the head repeatedly.

Is Lance Franklin playing the best footy of his career at the moment?

He certainly looks like he's set for a big year.

Without doubt, a fit and firing Tippett helps Buddys cause. He then has scope to pretty much do as he pleases as far as moving up and down the ground, last year he had times where he needed to be the stay at home forward. While he does this well, I think he prefers full freedom.

I see the media contingent watching Goodes play in some half arsed comp had the crowd swell from 12 to about 40 odd?

Really, how Goodes can think playing against those kids as being of benefit to him at this point in his career is beyond me. Train your guts out, play as the sub.
