Completely hypothetical, but I’d bet 2 out of 3 of those blokes would have been solid to good players at other clubs.Yeah. Pauly was more interested in eating and the other 2 needed a photo of the footy to remind them what it looked like.

He’s retired, but he won 2 B&F’s there.Brad is going ok at Norwood……
I think Noble made a mention of the fact we make it harder for ourselves positioning wise which then translates into a kick being more difficult to hit.From what I saw, I thought the training sessions were good.
Doing small sided handball games under fatigue and nobes yelling at the players go chase. Doing runs at the breaks in the intra club, boys even doing extra work. It’s gonna take a while before we see improvement with fitness.
I would really like to see each players GPS stats and compare their stats to the best player in that position they play in. I would also like to see how the coaches increase the players loads.
It’s such a weird one with fundamentals, we worked on it heaps in the pre season but we can’t translate that into a game. I think the possibility is that our pressure is not good enough at training compared to all the other teams therefore we cannot withstand pressure and just crumble
Yahtzee ! the old saying train like you play . Others clubs do that , we don’t .From what I saw, I thought the training sessions were good.

Good observation. If you get your technique right it should hold up under pressure. As golfers say you have to perfect your swing in practice time so when your under pressure in the comp it will hold up.From what I saw, I thought the training sessions were good.

And how come so many blokes to want to strike the ball with fingers rolled, palm facing forward ...Our 1st touch ball handling is abysmal. Every game I see our players even under little or no pressure fumble and take 2-3 touches in order to take clean possession, provided that they haven’t been swamped by the opposition in that split second. It’s sub standard for this level. It’s a bloody cancer in this team. Just saps the energy.
I would have thought Rottweilers were more your styleI reckon we’ve been talking about skills under pressure since Scotts last days because I distinctly remember suggesting German Shepherd dogs be used at training to add that extra bite for pressure. Idea was typically ignored and, well as we see real and perceived pressure skill errors continue.
They will do tooI would have thought Rottweilers were more your style
The Kerridge family say hiMaybe not the place for it, but just thought I’d say here anyway.
Remember how we used to give up big leads under brad Scott.
Did he really? Don't know how I missed that. Extraordinary. Is there some context to the statement that changes the meaning?Jack ziebell said over the pre season that 2021 was his most enjoyable year of footy. Not either of the prelim years where we won 2 finals each. But the year we won the spoon. He said it once and then doubled down on it in a later interview.
He found more enjoyment winning a spoon than playing finals.
He is part of a long history of senior north players failing in round 1 (ambushed), being “bitterly disappointed” with yet another close loss, giving up comfortable leads to lose.

We don't do a lot and rarely go super hard even at the main training before a game.Has anyone gone to training?
All the videos the club post we are either stuffing around or going at half intensity. This might just be a coincidence, but I’ve never seen us going flat sticks in any sort of social posts etc.
Ive queried this for a while......sides like the Braves and Swans etc flick the ball round at absolute pace. We rarely do this in games.
We also rarely have that quick overlap runner flying past after a mark or free, taking advantage of the stand rule.
What are we doing at training? I’d seriously love to know from track watchers. Something ain’t right with our skill set
Surely this is a gag.No word of a lie, for training we use old rugby league balls given to us by The Storm because we can’t afford new footballs. So we have no idea how to kick a proper footy.
I still back this blokes kick. A right footer that hits a ball like a lefty, not a lefty like LMac though.I can think of 3 blokes, off top of my head, who were absolute outstanding kicks of the ball when they came to North, only to end up soft non gut-running blokes without the ability to use their natural ability.
BreadMac, TomMurphy and Ahern.
We have virtually no one, apart from Hall, who can kick the ball as a low dart over 50-60. Even Cunners not a massive roost of the ball.
We haven’t drafted blokes with outstanding kicking efficiency, so it’s no surprise our standards are pretty poor. There‘s no one setting high standards with ball use.
