Re: The Jimmy Situation

North Melbourne would lose games at VFL level shouldn’t be worried about them in the slightest. Pick the best side and win. Simple Geez I hope the cat doesn't walk past you if we lose which is very likely. North match up on us reeeeeal well and would have set themselves for this game as they would ...

Re: Players in question for 2025?

I think Doug’s is possibly one of the safest on the list, most of the hate for him is derived from echos in the chamber rather than knowledge of his worth.

Re: No Pressure

No amount of “systems” and “training standards” can substitute good ole talent combined with strong match hardened and conditioned experienced AFL grade players. There just is no magic that can deliver these qualities to a list. It should hopefully get a little bit better in that regard though with ...

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: Players in question for 2025?

Byrnes and Sharman look more and more fringe the longer they take to prove they might be part of a potential flag side. Also looks like Heath isn't going to make it. Alison is already gone These 2 haven't shown enough glimpses of potential, IMHO. Cooper in particular seems to find the ball only rar...

Re: Dual narrative

Whilst this season is gone, the next question is, which finishing position on the ladder best works for the list development? 9th or bottom 4?

Re: Coming back

An inform Hayes is our most important player. An inform Hayes??? Seriously the bloke had one good game, and was mediocre in the rest. Sharman says hello. I agree, “most important” is a stretch at this stage of his spluttering career as Hayes might be as in ineffectual as Sharman over 40 games but w...

Re: Team v Port

The problem with dropping Cordy is that he has been very good. Probably career best form. We are just not a balanced side at the moment, so that should take preference over form. He's actually been very serviceable since coming across from the Dogs and played most weeks, funny how some supporters s...

Disgusting that Hayes and Schoenmaker aren't given a go. We are going to struggle to kick more than five goals tomorrow night. They have us covered on every single line. A bit OTT don't you think? If we win they will make a sequal to Miracle On Ice. Hayes and Scho would make little difference this ...

Haven't seen anything from the Crab yet to make me feel regret we traded him, one quarter to go so maybe he can bob up and find a moment. I'd be happy for him if he does...big crowd and never a better time to impress your new fans.

Re: Paddy Dow to play for Sandy

Definitely is best 22 if he can replicate his breakout form from last season. He had several outstanding games when he was played as a permanent midfielder. I'm reserving judgement until I have seen a St Kilda sample size. He has questionable disposal and when the modern game is built around scorin...
