Got about 25sec on The Couch.

Was it Gerard Healy pissing on our team photo?

Talked about how we may be a threat to Collingwood just prior to spending another 20 minutes talking about how bad Collingwood are

They are pretty bad

Then they'll just change them Sunday morning anyway.

Apparently the GoDees defense for Fritsch is going to be that Petracca pushed Powell into him, lowering his height which caused the "fend off" to go high, according to the Radio i heard driving home, i would expect that case would be thrown in out in record time, so won't be surprised if he is succesful.

Yep, They could name the sides after the game for all I care

What is this new tactic that facilitates pushing an opposition player TOWARDS your team mate that has the ball?!!

Was he giving Tom a chop out?

Yeah, comedy.

If they go with that defence, they should lose draft picks for wasting every campaigners time.

If you look at the replay, Petracca actually does push him. But I can't see how it would be any different to a bump - if you lead with the forearm/elbow, you should have to take responsibility for wherever it ends up.

Players are supposed to get down low to tackle right, so you get hem round the hips not the head! Crazy defense

Couldn't find a past player thread for Spider so posting this here:

Where Are They Now: Matthew Burton

I came out of my time at North Melbourne knowing that people are the most important tool.

How about why there isn’t a statue of the great man out the front of Arden Street?

Loved the big man, but at the bottom of that article is a form for any past players to fill in so the club has their details.

Anyone put theirs in yet?

Damage found after late AFLW player Jacinda Barclay’s brain donated for concussion research

Exclusive: Researchers at the Australian Sports Brain Bank have uncovered neurological damage they describe as a ‘ticking time bomb’

www.theguardian.com

This is pretty interesting. My brain looks like what they're describing (white matter changes usually found in elderly people) and it's due to a chronic neurological condition rather than from concussion. If that's the type of damage head knocks are causing then there are absolutely reasons to be concerned and I can see why we're protecting the head so much these days.

Except if your name is Powell; free hits there.

Cornes on Monday night FS gave TT a whack for being too loose in the midfield and has to improve “if you want to play there”

Righto

Cornes on Monday night FS gave TT a whack for being too loose in the midfield and has to improve “if you want to play there”

Righto

He also said live on radio during the game for a player in their 5th or 6th year he has to be much better.

He has NFI.

It’s amazing how Cornes loves to whack young blokes for some reason. His early comments about Walsh show he’s an idiot.

RSN Breakfast Club

Todd Goldstein; North Melbourne Ruckman - Inner Sanctum 5th May 2021

The Kangaroos went down to Tassie on the weekend, and went down to the Demons. They've lost the opening 8 games, but this week will see themselves as a realistic chance against Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Saturday to get their first win, and inflict more pain on the Pies

player.whooshkaa.com

"It was really good reward for the young guys to experience what it feels like to play our way, to play a team game and be rewarded for that" Todd Goldstein on the dominant display from the opening half on the weekend #RSNBreakfastClub

"For us we're focused on the little wins and the small areas we can start making gains in, and I think each week you can see that getting better and better" Todd Goldstein is seeing the growth & development at the Roos #RSNBreakfastClub

"To be able to come in and start playing good footy has been really impressive" Todd Goldstein on Tom Powell, Will Phillips & Charlie Lazzaro

"It was a challenging week. We found out there was a case in WA as we were about to take off, and the press conference from the Premier happened half hour after we landed" Todd Goldstein on the whirlwind of the lockdown in Perth

"There were a lot of unintended consequences which made it really challenging. We were very concerned about what was happening. It was a challenging few days that's for sure" Todd Goldstein on the 'snap lockdown' in Perth #RSNBreakfastClub

"He did throw out the warning that if anyone touches his son that they'll have to answer to him" Todd Goldstein on the feedback from David Noble about his son John at Collingwood
