I thought this was worth sharing (as I spent 5 minutes working it out for a post on the Essendon forum). Round 1-10 we averaged 106 points against per game, and since the bye we have averaged 86. Getting Narni & Loose back would of had a fair influence on that number I would have thought.

Was listening to Glenn Archer's HOF acceptance speech recorded on SEN and it got me thinking about the contribution Leigh Colbert made on and off the field for the club. Joined us in 2000 and for six seasons I was continually amazed at his courage, backing into serious packs and holding down...

I appreciate it's Round 7 but I'm very interested to know the contract status of a few as they now have 4 months to show why they should be on the senior list in 2013. (NB: Urquhart is not on the senior list). Given that you are required to lose 4 players a season and I don't anticipate any...

Okay just got home from work and managed to find a full-replay of the game, I knew the scores coming into it which enabled me to take a pretty relaxed view of the game and focus on a few players. Thus far I have watched the Richmond game and a few thoughts: - Ben Cunnington will be just...

Good to see St Kilda hold off Fremanltle (no idea of how the game was played but tracking scores it looked close to 20 mins into the 4th). Let's hope Sydney and Carlton can do the right thing by us this weekend.

Having a mess around with the Ladder Predicter while watching West Coast close the derby out, it made me think while all the talk has been taking a top 8 spot from St Kilda, perhaps there is room for both of us at the expense of Fremantle? There's a long way to go, we need to beat 1, perhaps...

Took this from an AFL wide list on the main board, interesting to see how Champion Statistics ranks our list thus far in 2011. Have gone with total scores as I feel it represents total impact rather than averages (which had Daniel Pratt in the top 10 for example) Club Rank (AFL Rank)...

v Melbourne (Etihad) v Brisbane (Gabba) v Sydney (Etihad) v Adelaide (Etihad) v Gold Coast (GC stadium) Forget about the Geelong game, we were never going to challenge them down there, but we are seriously a chance of winning these next 5 games and going 6-5. As ridiculous as it...

Okay, after giving myself a good 10 hours to digest that painful 4th quarter I have come out of the game still optimistic that our season isn't in ruin. We all knew the first month was going to be dreadfully difficult, and dropping the West Coast game did us no favours. While Richmond may not...

Can someone update on Greenwood's status, has been left off all injury lists. Did he get some minutes in the VFL over the weekend and is he a consideration for the Rochmond game?

Hi guys, Currently based in London i'm exploring the avenues for watching North Melbourne this season. I understand ESPN show 3 games per week and will be subscribing to Sky, but at this stage I know North Melbourne aren't being telecast Rounds 1 - 3. With a chance rate of 33% every week...

Hi guys, I must admit I only caught Fox replays of the games last night but looking at the numbers Daniel Harris put in a couple of good games. He was a personal favourite of mine at North and I thought he was pretty unlucky to lose his spot on the list. What are the internal thoughts on...

Caroline Wilson have you actually resorted to backing your comments up with the credible source that is 'football circles', this must be embarrassing for the head of a state based football newspaper. Not to mention the deal fell over when Brayshaw shut the door on any relocation option to the...

Am I right in saying the replay of the North Melbourne v Collingwood game has been pushed in WA on Foxtel from 10pm WST to 5am? This is infuriating if true.

Thoughts?

Is Wells fit? Did Garlett travel?

Reading Inside Footy this afternoon as some AFL material to get through the Wednesday afternoon commute, and noticed next week we are due for the list analysis and player rankings. While you take these things with a grain of salt, interesting criteria posed by the paper: 'Ratings assessed on...

Reading the pre-season press, it appears Michael Firrito and Brady Rawlings are both settling into defensive roles this season, along with the retirement of Adam Simpson and the departure of Daniel Harris, this leaves us with a tremendously green midfield. 31/279 Brent Harvey 24/130...

Been trying to get my hands on this gave v Hawthorn for a while, all torrents lack seeds. Will happily pay for a solid copy of the game.

Clearly our biggest concern going into 2010. I thought our backline was the success story in 2009 with the development of Scott Thompson and Nathan Grima complimenting the solid season's of Scott McMahon and Leigh Harding. Throw Lachlan Hansen at CHB for 22 games and a fit Jesse Smith and we...

Interesting to hear talk about the likes of Alan Obst and co. after today's win and how they deserved an extension on their contract, but at the end of the day Brad Scott and Donald McDonald have to part ways with at least five/six players for the draft, perhaps even more. If you had to drop...

It could be tough for Hale to find a way back into our XXII with the form of Petrie at full forward, and the Goldstein/McIntosh ruck combination. So an interesting question poses itself - what is David Hale's trade value?

Due to weather I assume, i'm pleased. Although still not happy Lindsay Thomas is running around and Ben Ross is back in the VFL.

Good.

Note: I do apologise if this thread has been posted, I checked three pages briefly and had not seen it. Adam Simpson will play his 300th game this weekend against Adelaide as long as he's fit and ready to go, thought it was worth opening up to the main board, as I know there have been few...

Listened to some MMM online and tracked the scores, so obviously didn't get a feel for the game and how x and y player really went, was hoping someone could answer a few questions. - How did Levi Greenwood and Ben Warren go? - Gavin Urquhart's numbers were great, but no one has him in their...

Well done Matty, great effort. Could be in for a very solid '09.

Gavin Urquhart (NMFC) R/15 - 18D, 5M R/14 - 17D, 9M R/13 - 18D, 6M R/12 - 17D, 2M R/11 - 16D, 5T R/10 - 21D, 4M (Debut) Bias? Maybe. But surely he's due?

After an interesting follow up from Mike Sheahan's Top 50, along with respective publications stating their 'impact players' for 2008, how about we put the microscope on our list? Obviously not a Top 50, but rank the list in importance, according to which players will have a greater impact in...
