Re: Higgins Alir incident

We argued to get it thrown out, but if not they're arguing exceptional circumstances to reduce.

The issue is you only get one chance to put out an argument. You can't come back after being rejected to having it thrown out to try and reduce it.

We almost lost to North twice out of the last 3 matches. With the form we're in I wouldn't be surprised if we lose. Would derail the season.

Re: Phillipou Close to Signing

The Wilson and Pou comparison will linger forever, but I'll say this on it now. They are both vastly different footballers. I'm excited because you need both for a premiership side. We are developing Philippou to be a contested ball beast. A Petracca type. He's been thrown in the deep end to the mos...

The Jimmy Situation

With Jimmy Webster back from his suspension this week, it poses an interesting question. Is there value in leaving him out? No doubt in my mind he's a walk up start in our current side, based on what he brings on the field. BUT, a young side like north could leverage some emotion around Jimmy to put...

Re: Players in question for 2025?

196cm+ KPD are rare as hens teeth and would be sought by quite a few clubs in the market.

Hawthorn and North definitely need one each.

Dougal is a better full back than McKay and look at how much he got.

Re: Crab watch

We don't need a group of senior GOPs who are not winning their positions, as an example for the young players though I disagree, if their skillset is in mentoring and building talent. Cut these players at your peril, and end up in a long, long rebuild. North would be a much better side if they held...

Re: Dual narrative

We were lower, but 14th after this week (Adelaide, GC, Hawks, North lower). Still quite a bit below AFL average https://www.wheeloratings.com/afl_stats_team.html?year=2024 Interesting stat there. Despite all of our injuries, we have only played 30 different players this year. That puts us 7th in th...

Re: Dual narrative

The disappointment in this year isn't the losses (although they hurt), it's that we are playing periods of really poor footy. I would expect any Lyon coached side to be 'on' every quarter. We need to be. Lack of consistency is common in young sides, but we are a rollercoaster. I can't fault effort o...

Schoenmaker to the outside

The obvious move right?
It'll destroy Wilkie (see his first 6 games). But we may get an even better one in Schoenmaker.

Mind you I might be of a different opinion 4 goals down to north in the last Our last few games against North have been a symptom of the overall issue. We can't/don't/won't turn it on and damage the scoreboard when we are on top. Plenty of games against poor opposition, we have let them in and almo...

Re: Players under question for 2025?

It depends what we can get in. There is still value in having guys like Seb even if he plays VFL.

4 ND picks, 1 SSP.

"only" need to delist 5.

Allison, Hotton, Campbell, Heath.

Plus one from your list. Probably Jones.

Caminiti is working on areas of his game that will see him as that second forward/ruck role. He will be part of the team for a long time to come.
