Putting this first crack here as a placeholder to come back and have a look at lockout. Reckon i'd only have 1/2 the players still in.....Its the same every year.
Hanley, Pearce B/C
Birchall, Grant B
Swallow, David B/C
Suckling, Matt B
McDonald, Luke B/C...

Distinct lack of reflex ability!!! ;-)......and models his game on Dale Thomas.....Not quite a power forward comparison.
Watched him pretty closely this year for Dreamteam purposes. Think he would fit in very well at North. Great kick. Gets into open space well.
I see him moreso challenging Harper than Wright.
And she looked absolutely amazing at the Brownlow!!!.....although she looked a wee bit disapointed when Drew made jokes about her starting to show. Id get smashed if i had of said that when my wife was pregnant.....ha ha ha
[NDS], The three-time All-Australian this morning said although he was contracted at St Kilda for next season, he would understand if he was traded in next month's exchange period...
So, have we got a gun wingman coming through that needs a chop out for a couple of years? If no, i don't see the point of this.
Its not like we are absolute Premiership contenders right at this second, where a couple of years of NDS will make all the difference.
If this is all about grooming...
no love for Hine? i think we picked up a good player there
Also, i think that Daw will be very close to the mark for best 22 next season. Tarrant might need to get prepared for the back line..... I won't be able to deal with another year of Goldy playing as the lone ruckman. Daw offers more...
Who's spot does he take then?
Im a big fan, but stating that he should be played for the whole season needs to also identify who goes out for him......
if only Wellsy had of massively embarrassed himself in the 1st qtr instead of the 4th....we would have won by 5 goals.
I don't like that it takes embarrassment to make him step up a level. He needs to be better than that
Could it be that Scott is targeting our Round 2 draft selection for McDonald? If we finish in the bottom few we might get away with it?
....PS. This is sarcasm. In BON I'm really not trusting
Im going to be watching you closely in the last quarter Bastinac......Absolute soft effort so far. Jogs around outside the packs. Misses tackles. Doesn't apply pressure when opponents have the ball.
Definitely on the downhill spiral out of my 'like' list
i think we need to look at bringing in a player under free agency this year to provide a bit more maturity to the team.
When you look at the list of players available there is one that i think stands out as a really good fit for us, where we are right now.......Mark LeCras
We have tall's coming...
Gutted that patch is a a shadow if his 2012 self. My fav player last year.
if boomer out was a key reason why we didn't get across the line in some games this year, patches form must be a close second
Someone needs to teach our mids how to kick to a leading player....
If we can't learn to kick to Daw on the lead rather than dumping it on his head then he will never be able to shine.
Horrific
We were lucky to be close at 1/2time imo.
But, by the end we were terribly unlucky not to get across the line.
Wellsy, Swallow and Thompson are absolute stars.
Unfortunately Cyril is a complete freak of nature.
My kids were stalking him while he he was at the zoo with his family yesterday. Good on him for taking time out to have a chat to them and have a couple of photos taken.
I was at work, and my wife apparently led with the line "You're Lindsay Thomas aren't you??"........
North might be putting together a really strong list, but it will mean nought unless a few of our players go from good players to 'elite' or 'ultra-elite'.
List pressure from the VFL might push the senior players towards this, but at this stage I'm keeping the lid firmly in place.
