View Full Version : Cochrane, Makepeace and Clayton

For North to be a real chance in the finals (whether they come 4-8) they can't have these blokes playing a role. Give them some games during the year by all means but they were yards behind their opposite numbers last year. North's worst 6 players last year were pretty ordinary - with that in mind who should get a go in front of them?

Shinboners

Can someone please explain Stuart Cochrane to me? He seems to me to be a poor man's Shane Clayton, but at least with Clayton, you know that he's got a bit of pace and has an uncanny ability to make space for himself. If only Clayton could improve his kicking (to Darren Jarmen levels would be wonderful, but I'd accept it if he could simply pass the ball straight into Carey's chest). Makepeace, much to my amazement, played 22 games for us in 2000....not the most skilled player, but he plays with a little bit of grunt....I'd like to see him tried in a tagging role. Troy, take a leaf out of Peter Bell's book to see where a bit of determination can take you.

Still, I'd be very surprised to see all three in a North team in 2001, although I'd be even more surprised to see Calthorpe named just once...even as an emergency http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/wink.gif . I would think that (provided they're fit and keen) Sinclair and McLaren will take up two spots and at least one of our young draft picks will be in the senior side come round 1. Then there's Shannon Motlop and possibly Brady Rawlings. Our mantra in '01....skills in, long bombs out.

The fact that Makepeace got 22 games says more about our lack of depth than anything - he had a good year but one suspects he would have got a handful of games if we had a bit more quality in our list. Clayton and Cochrane are both frustrating players, the former because he gets a reasonable amount of the ball but usually wastes it, the latter because he appears to have a leather allergy and the only tackle he could break would be his own.

Shinboners
3 Jan 2001, 09:15
While I agree our lack of depth was one reason why Makepeace got so many games, the other thing is that he took his chance and didn't get dropped. Others like Clayton, Cochrane, Rawlings, and Motlop didn't take their chances and got dropped during the year.

However, after the draft, I did a rough best line up for 2001, and Makepeace wasn't in there. Off memory, the side was something like:

B: Archer, Martyn, Blakey
HB: King, McCartney, Pickett
C: Sinclair, Simpson, Colbert
HF: McLaren, Carey, Abraham
F: S.Motlop, Rocca, Grant
Foll: McKernan, Stevens, Harvey
Inter: Burton, Lange, Dylan Smith, D.Motlop

Dylan Smith and Daniel Motlop are in because it seems that they're highly rated by the recruiting staff and are expected to play senior footy in 2001.

I think you are a bit harsh on Shannon Motlop there Shinboners? Last year, he seem to have an ever lasting ankle injury, then when he did make it into the team he broke his leg.. I think he is a real talent, and hopefully will get his opportunity next year.

Carey_is_King
3 Jan 2001, 16:21
He has some skills, but he is a lazy player who will let you down when you need him most. I doubt he will be there in 2002 unless he gets his act together this year.

Shannon Motlop does have talent, but it's a matter of how he uses it. It's also a matter of how he reacts to getting dropped. I know he had injuries and had to be dropped, but he was also dropped for lack of form on other occassions. On pure talent, he would leave Peter Bell for dead. But the thing is that Bell worked his guts out to get the most out of his ability, and that is what made Bell a valuable player for us while Shannon Motlop gets filed under "potential".

In my weaker moments I feel sorry for Stuart Cochrane.
You should recall he was a preseason compensatory selection in 1995 for Peter Mann who went to Fremantle.
We were allowed to select the best 16 year old player in the Country.
Stuart is the nephew of Peter Jonas, a great player whose career was cut short by a horror run of injuries.
Stuart came to North from Adelaide in 1996 and asked for the number 45 worn by Jonas.
Obviously with this background there has been enormous pressure on Stuart to perform
at the top level.
Unfortunately he has his limitations and while he has played 12 senior games, now at 22 years of age,he must be disappointed .

Perhaps this year may be the turnaround!!

Unfortunately for North, Essendon had the the same opportunity in 1995 with a preseason compensatory selection for Todd Riley who went to Fremantle.

Their choice from Avondale was Mathew Lloyd!!!

It is obvious you do not know the facts and have misinterpreted my reply.

The facts are that North did not consider any other player than Stuart Cochrane for this preferential pick. He was a prize player in Adelaide with a known North pedigree,namely Peter Jonas.

Thus it made no difference who went first.
Essendon had settled on Lloyd ,North had settled on Cochrane.

There were plenty of other 16 year old players available at the time who could have been picked besides Cochrane or Lloyd eg

David Wirrapunda Eastern u18`s
Heath Black Oakleigh u18`s
Michael Gardiner No 1 in 1996 draft
etc etc etc

I thought that Stuart Cochrane showed some promise in the final against Hawthorn last year. I have also been most impressed with the way he conducts himself at club functions, namely the North Melbourne Past Player Functions. I did not know he is the newphew of Peter Jonas. I hope he retains number 45. As for Troy Makepeace he is a gusty player. The Kangaroos would of been in a worse position last year without the contribution of Troy. Last year the Kangas never got out of the bunker. Give the players a break.

I agree with your coments, Dyson.

Three different types of players each have made separate contributions to the team.

As a premiership player, if Shane Clayton hasn't done enough to prove his worth to the supporters then I don't know what more he can do.

Stuart Cochrane showed an awesome display of guts in the finals. The way he threw himself at the play & attempted to capitalise on each opportunity is probably everything that the coaching staff asked of him. I honestly love to watch the boy play whether in the VFL comp last year or hopefully many more seniors games this year.

I am a big fan of Troy Makepeace. I believe that he himself was never too cocky last season to think that he deserved open entry in to the side based on his previous week's form. I heard that when talked to his team mentors about this very issue that he was consoled by the fact that they all felt that they were going through a slump in the mid to late season period & I reckon his confidence improved throughout the finals. Troy also has John Longmire as player manager & you couldn't ask for better backing than the guy who made your number legendary. I reckon he will go on to be a great club leader in the coming years.

Booooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooboy96 you make me feel like Wayne playing against the Swans at the SCG. As in round 5 in 2000,despite his 24 kicks,six handballs,
11 marks, and 3 goals , his smartness received plenty of boos but no Brownlow votes!


Neville Stibbard,Recruiting Manager,stated on TV at the October 2000 National Draft that he already knew who the top 50 players would be in the 2001 National Draft.
This is because of the number of recruiters now available,the number of controlled junior comps, the introduction of the Draft Camp ,observations and tests at the draft Camps etc

Obviously all clubs are in the same position.

I am not a recruiter, although I had some involvement in the U19 days.

Thus I have no idea who the No 1 Draft pick will be in 2001. I suggest you ring Neville on Monday at the Club and he being the expert may tell you!!!!!

35eye/Dyson,

You ask what more Clayton has to do.
Hit a leading forward (one of ours) on the chest with a pass would be a good start.

Cochrane's uncle ? Who cares ? No45 ? So what? The guy is an average player, very average.
If he is still at the club this time next year I will be very surprised.

Makepeace at least shows some heart and reasonable skills, but AFL material ? I don't think so. Club leader ? I doubt he will go the distance to be a regular player, much less a leader.

All personal opinions after all, but time will tell.

I accept that my initial post might have been a bit harsh but it it was meant to be realistic - whatever the respective merits of Clayton, Cochrane and Makepeace as players might be they are a couple of skill levels below the sort of players we need in a competitive finals side.

croode
9 Jan 2001, 06:42
Have to agree with CIK.
The midfield has to improve their skill level markedly this coming season. Gone are the days of getting the ball and bombing it into Carey and co. Whereas in the past he was good enough to do the job, he now needs assistance with more precise delivery of the ball to avoid his body receiving too much battering, thus prolonging his career.
There is no point players such as Clayton, Simpson and others being good enough to get the ball and not being put to good use. This then leads to the turnover of the ball, the backline put under a lot of pressure and subsequently high scores kicked against us.
I am hopeful that the addition of Sinclair, McLaren, D. Smith and Harris will give the midfield a bit more pace and class to go with the grit and determination of Stevens and Harvey with the backup of King and Pickett.
So Simpson, Makepeace, Clayton, Cochrane and even Grant will need to improve on last season to keep their positions in the team.

Excuse Me mouthpiece,

I merely stated that North would have taken Lloyd, a fact Pagan made clear prior to taking Cochrane, and yes he was our next pick.

Simple, Essendon beat us to the punch, you inferred otherwise, so obviously you want tio make a hero of yourself by bagging others on some moot point you are trying to make juat because, like most other North fans would know, Peter frigging Jonas is his uncle.

I merely stated that North would have taken Lloyd had we been given first pick.

How does that make me ill informed mouth????

Not sure if you are deliberately trying to get a rise or if you really are a wanker.

I am not sure what Cochrane and North's priority pick have to do with whether I have played or in fact continue to play football, but a genius such as yourself I guess can tell anything.

As for your own insecurity and desire to ridicule others with fiction rather than fact, I admire you and the way you stand by your conviction because it appears to be all you know about football.

Genius, you should be coaching at AFL level, and let us hope, as genuine passionate Kangaroos fans, that Cochrane lives up to anywhere near the rating you are suggesting Pagan gave him - the best 16 year old in the land.

(assuming by your name you must be one of those players that get heaps of ball hard gets or whatever they call them, and then throws it to your teammate - you can throw it can't you???)

I am not sure what farting has to do with smelling ligaments and in turn what smelling ligaments has to do with playing football.

While on the topic, I dont think my nose has ever been close to a ligament, well not internally anyway - what does it smell like, have you ever tasted it, does it burn if you apply it to your skin, is it good for injuries or to help loosen muscles before or after a game - would love to hear about it.

Perhaps you should start a thread on it.

Why is that footballers smell ligaments - I guess you caught me out there.

The only change rooms I have ever been in have had a waft of deep heat, oil and the odd bad fart from a teammate.

I guess when you play at as high a level as you must things change.

My curiousity has peaked, I really would like to know what ligament's smell like in AFL change rooms.

And dont forget Brad Green [20 games] and Cameron Bruce [19 games] in 2000 who really played and made a difference on the field.

OH BUT WAIT THERES MORE......Apparently a M.F.C player by the name of Shane Woewodin who started his stella career in 1998 played 25 games in his first year. He then went on play 22 in 1999, and then topped that off by playing 25 games in 2000 AND HE WON THE BROWNLOW FOOL! Keep up with the stats.

I was giving him credit. He is pretty popular with the blue rinse set. They should make him captain.

Did they make him Victorian of the year? Gee I could have sworn he wasn't a local.

It is important to sport a good haircut at all times when on or off the field. This will ensure that you will play well.

Please, haircuts and football. When has it really mattered! Keep eating your cut oranges ladies.
Do they still hand out those football rules books to the Melbourne Supporters, does it tell you when to go rah rah rah as well.

And what is the deal with this Red Legs thing? Sounds like a chorus line or something.

Thats where our supporters sit mate. Give it a couple of years and you too can have something similar, but you may have to travel north to see them play.
Go the North Sydney Roos!

I was going to reply to your humorous message, but I thought you may not understand what I have to say.

We don't understand what you're saying anyway.

North Sydney Roos - oooh how original.

Now go away and think of a better comeback, cause honestly, that doesn't upset me at all.
