Here we go Kingy

 

[Gasometer]

Went to daughters Confirmation on a Fox weekend off

 

[Roosurgence]

As much as I never thought he was a good coach.

I will give him credit for being classy at the end.

I’m just glad for the club, they can move on and start a fresh.

Thoughts on Peter Nash, Glenn Archer and Brian Walsh conducting the review ? Would have liked someone a bit more removed to be involved/ in charge

With the greatest respect to Peter Nash, if he couldn't produce minutes of the nominations committee deliberations you would have to wonder if the review will deliver any uncomfortable recommendations.

A golden opportunity to throw open the curtains and get some outside perspective has been missed IMO.

King wanted Scotts the player to be Scotts the Coach

 

[Snake_Baker]

........and it's done.

 

[The Nostradamus]

King wanted Scotts the player to be Scotts the Coach

That was what I was hoping too

Instead we got Scott the over protective father figure

 

[LuvtheKangas]

King wanted Scotts the player to be Scotts the Coach

We all did.

Ralphy... Ralphy... Ralphy. You know nothing Jon Ralph.

Time will tell

Sunlight is the best disinfectant and tbh I don't see that happening with those three.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Farewell Brad, good luck Rhyce.

North board, you have the biggest decision in front of you that you are ever likely to make.

 

[Psicosis]

The only problem I have is that he narrative from both seems to suggest a root and branch rebuild. IMO that's not what we need. We have the talent on the list now to play finals next year under the right coach.

I fundamentally disagree with this opinion. The opinion I have, which is shared by the majority of AFL viewers is that we do NOT have the talent to push for a flag.

Could we get a couple bandaid players, a good fixture and scrape into finals next year? Possibly, but if we wanted to do this we should have just kept Brad.

We NEED access to the best young talent available to build a premiership side. The only way we are going to do this, is with a root and branch rebuild. Now before anyone jumps down my throat, this doesn’t mean tanking for draft picks. It might mean we are a bottom 4 side for a few years, ofcoarse, but it doesn’t mean that we are playing to lose.

With the quality of sides running around in the league currently - North will not win a flag without 3-4 A graders. I can put my house on that.

 

[Gasometer]

We all did.

Not everyone has Fox Footy atm; don’t shoot the messenger mate

 

[GarnerSmash]

King wanted Scotts the player to be Scotts the Coach

King is a failed assistant coach with basic analytical skills so with all due respect to him i wouldn't be listening to much he has to say about what coaches players need.

 

[The acurate one]

When did he offer to resign before?

Am not really sure at what stage, it was during JB's tenure, and you could safely assume it wasn't during contract negotiations.
I was reliably told. He did control the place and was the boss.

 

[Roosurgence]

I love that comment by Kingy.....

You just watch what Rhyce Shaw can do with that list.

Let’s hope you are right Kingy? I too think we aren’t as bad as people think.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

You missed my point, we all wanted a more ruthless coach than we got.

 

[Royal Flush]

Farewell Brad, good luck Rhyce.

North board, you have the biggest decision in front of you that you are ever likely to make.

Like kingy just said, I think Shaw will bring a lot out of the playing group in the next 3 months.
This has just turned a meh season into an exciting one.
Round 1 all over again.

Now let us never speak of it again.

I am getting more excited about what Shaw can do. Less polish, more passion (hopefully)

 

[scottywiper]

So Dustin Martin didnt want to come to North, Ralphy. You know nothing Jon Ralph.

 

[The acurate one]

Well we really don’t know do we?

Wats a full season of EVW going to look like? Xerri? LDU? Ahern?

What’s the projectory of Simpkin, Jed?

Others who have played on and off the past 2 years?

We haven’t given them a good consistent run because we have stuck/ topped with older blokes and other drifters.

Yes you're correct, I just know we had players on the field yesterday that shouldn't be playing because they're not good enough. We also have a few too similar types.

We also shouldn't have 33 year olds running around. Our VFL side isn't filled with likely types beyond Garner, Ahern & Scott. Our list isn't that good, s**t compare it to the quality of those mighty 90's sides.

How many would get a game with them?

 

[Roosurgence]

There will be some tough games to watch between now and the end of the season, but we need to go down this path.

Being competitive at the detriment to development gets you what we have had for the last 10 years, good but not good enough.

I think Friday could be a tough game. The players will most likely be very flat after a long week.

 

[Caracas]

Brad did the job he was brought in to do admirably ( getting the club on a stable footing financially and from a media point of view and being competitive). Let's hope our next coach is able to perform half as well to the present focus (winning premierships).
