[SonofSamsquanch]

Well obviously not... good question though.

I seem to recall there was something at one stage...

. Unfortunately I was talking about being as good at football.

 

[big_e]

I voted for Paul Crapper.

 

[deano28]

I have three that stick out like dogs balls .

1. J.K will 100% be at North Melbourne

2. Ben Jacobs is useless & should never get another game after Prelim final loss to Sydney (pre tagging role)

won’t make it as a midfielder .

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Great thread.

I said Boomer should be traded in 2007 because he would fall off soon so let's value.

Non-North, but I said the OKC Thunder should trade Westbrook so they can start Eric Maynor.

Unrelated to footy yes but I love watching Westbrook play. He's in everything and a superstar I reckon.

 

[ChoppyGun]

I said Scott was a bad call initially and hated him the entire time.

Not sure if I was right or wrong, but as he got a decade and 2 prelim so I guess I was wrong.

Yeah.

 

[Snake_Baker]

15 posts in and we've yet to see the name Ayden Kennedy!

Liars; the lot of you.

Don't feel bad, he was invisible to Brad Scott for four years.

Still the best kid not to make an AFL debut that I have seen on our list in the 2000's

 

[Nate7]

Ayden Kennedy and Tom Curran

I reckon you're safe under the injury clause Nate

Will Fordham will be the next Chris Judd!

Just never came on after his VCU days.

to North.
Super Gav over Pendlebury.
I could go on all day...

[hilly]

My profile pic : stern look

 

[LB2Snake]

Was mystified when we drafted BBB....looked completely ungainly and unlikely.......anyway, I was right

 

[LB2Snake]

He agreed to terms, and there was a handshake.

I have heard that from someone who was involved with mapping out his training programme. Verbatim too. He‘d been on the phone with him that day.

 

[LB2Snake]

I said Scott was a bad call initially and hated him the entire time.

Not sure if I was right or wrong, but as he got a decade and 2 prelim so I guess I was wrong.

Nah I never warmed to him either.

Also, on another note, I’ve never bothered to link posts together. That’s a bad call

 

[D23D]

Not sure that I posted it but I certainly thought that watching Urquhart gliding down the wing on the Jack Esplen oval for Morningside looking like Keith Greig would automatically translate to gun at North...

 

[Flawed Genius]

Was there anyone who didn't think Super Gav was going to be a superstar? I don't think there's a better football trait for sucking in supporters than an elite kick who can't get the footy

I can't find the video but there was a NB Roosters VFL grand final at the Dome where he kicked an absolute laser from 55 which never looked like missing. And of course his chase down tackle on Farren Ray

Also in the above category of elite kicks that were allergic to getting the footy



The bloke so good at kicking the footy that our media team made not one but two separate videos on two kicks of the footy, one of which was deemed to be so s**t hot they put two separate versions of commentary on it
