Analysis Random NORTH thoughts not worthy of a thread

Odd they only posted something about that now, I'm pretty sure it was common knowledge weeks ago.

Think a current Australian fast bowler is releasing his own brand of cider too.

Love Ben McKay's sense of humour. The "I normally take the best fwd" crack at harry then the "I was doing him a favour" crack at the whiney * fan. I normally agree with pagens stay off media St philosophy but these comments work for me.

It’s amazing that everyone knows our side has lacked pace for years but we never really tried to rectify it.

Not so sure this is true. We tried to address it during a compromised draft period: we drafted Josh Williams, Hayden, Simpkin, LDU, Thomas, we shifted Atley to the backline to try to generate some rebound pace, headhunted Higgins, Jed, Jared Polec and Jasper Pittard who were all known as pacey types, and I'm probably missing a few of our other attempts.

I'd say we knew pace was an issue but we didn't have the draft capital to rectify it.

Billy Hartung, WWalker, Hall, now Stevo, Young, Atu, Menadue and PWalker plus the kids.

Marley Williams.

What we always missed was genuine pace around the contest.

* we have some solid youth running around. When Jy and Co are being questioned as players, you know you have some decent depth. I’ll give you the hot tip, jy ldu and co deadset take a steaming hot turd on the likes of worpel and co. Worpel is not in the same conversation as LDU. We’ll make em eat our s**t lads.



And * JOSH KELLY! Dog

Wait he's going to the Dogs now? Oh well, that's moderately better than Essendon at least.

Yeh man, in the league full of Rats

Loyalty exists.. unless you are that Josh Kelly rat. As if he wouldnt have been apart of as much success GWS have produced by playing at the club he grew up with. Nah * the dog. We are better than that.

we are larger than individuals. We have a phenomenal youth lead by a bloke that has been around the block. You can see that in the persona delivered on a weekly basis. We have a serious player manager who will not dictate game play and tactics and will let the gaffer have influence.

Ferguson’s management has been adopted at NMFC!

Here's a diagram of who passes it to who (at least ten times in the season so far, anyway).

[Only Forwards]

Random North thoughts is the only place I can think to put this.

When we eventually climb back to the top of the hill and are playing off in a grand final. The club should set aside tickets for any player who has played over a certain threshold of games. I mean if you cut it off at 100 games we are talking around 120 people.

Then if we win it those players should be allowed onto the field after the lap of honour.

I can think of no better way to honour North players that put blood sweat and tears into the place than to have them be allowed to be there with teh express intent of helping celebrate such a rare thing.

I can also think of no better way to honour those who actually win the thing than to have a guard of honour filled with blokes who came before them.

Bit surprised there's no " worst 400 game player " thread on the main board.

There'll be one in the archives somewhere about Drew being the " worst 300 game player "

At this time of year, Mrs Z is partial to a spot of mulled cider ... a hot Dickens Cider, if you will.

So so sad about the retirement of traitor Levi greenwood. So sad I questioned whether this was worthy of a post.
