I think this is the most important game for the roos win and we are 7th, are good players are playing well and its looking good. Have to keep this up the whole game to win this one, i rate the saints.

Roos are travelling very nicely now, slow start but looking like a great contest.

Swallow killing it this quarter.

like always voldt looking like the only guy standing in our way, he does it every time. I was tempted to put him captain this week as it would hedge my bets as the only way the roos will lose if if he pumps out a big score, than i wouldnt feel to bad.

w00t for Roo finally giving me something north (no pun intended) of 80.

I'm torn. I'd rather the Roos win but I wanna stay in the 8 :P

Big quarter for the roos...

Saints have now kicked the last 6 goals to get a 26 point lead. FFS >:(

At the moment in the last quarter I think the Saints have just outclassed us. We tried hard all day, still a chance, but their superstars are hurting us.

when was the last time voldt, tags and goddard all hit 100.

roo boys! · July 03, 2011, 08:04:19 PM

10 points down, we've got the momentum and crowd behind us. About 5 or 6 minutes to go. CARN NORTH

AFEV · July 03, 2011, 08:22:46 PM

Well Volt just gave me the regular 80 -_-
Swallow and Petrie gave me nothing as well :(

I know how you feel Alex.

At least I had Goddard :D

The loss today was discouraging with the sloppy ball use, missed chances and poor entries into the forward line. Obviously if we had have won it would be a completely different story, but remember that we play this mob again, and I fancy our chances.

We are improving every week, it is a long journey with a young side and we are well on our way. This week was just another step, we obviously would have preferred to win, but we played fairly well IMO. Just a few patches of the game when we let them get on top for 10 minutes and the hurt us.

McKinley had his chance, and blew it. Richardson looks good for a call up, and I think if we need a big more speed in the forward line Cruize Garlett is the go. Marcus White played well in the VFL, he is knocking on the door.

Go Roos.

GO SAINTS ;D :P

Bad luck North, we didn't play our best and our end of the 2nd quarter probably lost us the game in the end. Umpires were flowered and literally they had 4-5 goals from free kicks and 2-4 goals from 50 meter penalties, we got flowered over in that area.

We came hard in the last and like the Sydney game we couldn't score. Need to get more run into our team and take out McKinley and/or Hansen and bring back in Atley or Speight, pace and ball winning ability was a major factor to why we lost.

Not that Hansen or McKinley necessarily played too badly, we just didn't have enough leg speed to pounce on loose balls, and it was reflected in the disposal count.

it will be a togh battle for finals this year but im really looking forward to next year.

roo boys! · July 04, 2011, 08:34:47 AM

We are certainly still a strong chance for finals this year, but next year is going to be even more exciting, same with the next and the next etc
