I pray and totally trust you are wrong. I've met him and would not waste my time. There is not much up there from hearing him talk.

I think Fraser has fired his best shots and should be replaced. Pivotal appointment in the scheme of things.

Spot on this does need to happen. The Northern Blues, it seems dysfunctional and is our Achilles heel.

Thanks once again grimlock

Stats paint an ugly picture. Total domination of the hitouts, more disposals than Sandy, yet only 34 inside 50s. That is significant cause for concern.

I'm liking the cut of Quirk's jib

He certainly has the footy smarts. Settled in quite well at VFL level for a 19 year old. I reckon he has a fair bit of upside.

Has there been any news on coaching position next year? I too feel Fraser has had enough time and we need a better candidate.

Congrats Hugh Goddard ...

Aph , on Alex Johnson . By all accounts he got through the season but was underwhelming according to a few reports . Five knees too much risk to rookie him or form etc. ?

Cottrell did well to finish 7th. Like the look of him, might just have a player there.

He won't be drafted. Suffice to say his AFL playing days are done.

It's more a case of not being injured and being able to run out the season. With a core contingent of maybe 4 or 5 VFL players and a couple of listed VFL stalwarts, it's easy to see how something like that can happen, and doesn't really validate long-term prospects.

He's got to go up another level in the pre-season from a footballing and clearance perspective in order to be worth playing at the next level as a backup, let alone a regular.

Congrats to the big fella, had a great year down back for the NB's.

We could do worse than to give Sammy Fish and/or Frank the Tank a rookie spot if we have one available.

I see Ethan Penrith finished equal 1st in the Fitzroy Stars B&F.

He certainly didn't get much time at the NB's this season. I think one of the problems the NBs had in 2019 was a lack of real run. But this is what it is. He wasn't being selected, so good luck to him.

Penrith does provide run but unfortunately he doesn't find enough of the ball or use it well enough to consistently impact a game.
