What are the conditions, are they impacting the goal kicking?

Early thoughts:

- Forward delivery shit as usual.

- Armstrong trailing his man Ben Jacobs badly every time Jacobs gets possession. Another liability in defence. Useless.

- Hudson taking the majority of the ruck against US rookie Eris Wallace. Doing okay, but geez Wallace is a powerful unit.

- Small forwards still getting out the back at the goal mouth. Good to see nothing has changed there.

- Kennedy has been good but quiet, if you can understand that.

- Clarke has been reasonable so far.

- Mooney and Marsh getting a fair bit of it. Some good 2nd and 3rd efforts by Swampy, playing primarily forward.

- Lynch working hard as usual. Getting crucified by the delivery, as usual.

Don't want to sound racist(even though that apparently is encouraged now in Australia) but the roosters have the biggest black dude I have ever seen playing for them. He makes Majak look like Seedsman.

Eric Wallace, North Melbourne's US rookie.

He's a powerful looking unit, isn't he?

Playing #1 ruck for them, doing reasonably well, actually...

Ramsay caught one-out with Nahas in the square, gets pinged for holding.

Nahas steps out, snaps, goal.

Fine, no breeze. And no excuses...

Kennedy to Lynch.

Lynch launches it from inside the centre square to the goal square.

Pack flies, no mark, out the back, Ferguson crumbs, he GOALS!

34-25.
