When are North Melbourne going to change defensively? #AFL | SEN Breakfast

@SENBreakfast Caleb Daniel is the #1 problem with and without the footy. He butchered the ball yesterday but the fact that he is slow and short absolutely kills us without the ball. Until we drop him we're screwed. They funny thing is we have a defensive gun in Hardeman that can't get a game!

@SENBreakfast We’re not far away @davidking34 The numbers tell a story but the eye test says we’ve improved. Perhaps not as much as we’d like. If we can improve 2-3 goals we’re a finals side. Maybe under a different coach who knows? Selection currently the biggest roadblock to progress IMO

@SENBreakfast Nothing will when likes of Logue Daniel and McDonald back there Rawlings said at start of year they happy with what we have so until that narrative changes we screwed

@SENBreakfast Before the season all the experts stated our defence was our weakness and many predicted 8 wins..unless Clarko is Jesus Christ and can turn Logue into Jackovich and Corr into SOS then what would change in season. Back of envelope our points against is down 20 per game.

@SENBreakfast When @NMFCOfficial appoint a new coach. When the Coach trusts Hardeman, Goater, McKercher, Powell. When he sees a slow backline, giving away silly frees & lazy with the ball (Logue, Corr, LMac, Daniel) cause turnovers. Clarko has to go.

@SENBreakfast Our supporters are too easily pleased. Loser mentality

@SENBreakfast When the selection committee pick the right horses Why are we playing Logue and the cheap disposal turnover machine Caleb Daniel rather than Hardeman When the recruiters provide better horses Hopefully a fit Thredgold shows promise next year but we need a workmanlike KPD in FA

@SENBreakfast Points against per game in his three real season as coach: 2024: 110 2025: 102 2026: 92 Numbers and eye test will tell you theyve been better defensively

@SENBreakfast we play the kids we have, you cry. we play our shitty hand out players, you cry. the likes of chom hardeman harvey goater archer daws etc have under 50 games, get it a rest. this years trade period stunk i will admit but this trade window, were getting more def covering, so stop!

@SENBreakfast "we just lack polish". Not only do we see this every week we're starting to hear it in the press conference. Defensively rubbish in part because of personnel and structure, but we gift the ball back to the opposition far too easily through idiotic decisions and amateur skills.

@SENBreakfast I was at the last win against Essendon at the end of the game they announced to the fans that we were now in 9th position and the fans cheered as if it was some kind of achievement. It was one of the most embarrassing things id seen at a sporting event from a group of fans.

@SENBreakfast Spot on @kanecornes and @davidking34. When do we stop accepting it @NMFCOfficial? Not enough improvement defensively, rubbish excuses and yet again poor selection integrity. Done with honourable losses, this group should be performing better and it’s time for change.
