Just looking at this from 2019 compared to the scraps we get makes me angry.

During that period the Suns finished 17th,17th and 18th.

Our results have been much worse.
 
I’d be hoping our recruiters are scouring the top teams‘ seconds for possible recruits. Someone like Rhys Mathieson has struggled to get a consistent run at Brisbane due to their depth of midfielders. He continually dominates in the twos. He may not be a potential superstar but he comes from a winning environment, is hard at it and offers a lot more than quite a few on our list.
 
Viney didn't dismiss the idea and he recently went to a Collingwood game with Clarko and specifically watched Darcy Moore.

Who knows what Clarko has in mind. He'll be cooking.

Kanga Kennedy played Longmire down back to get him in games. Petrie spent quite a bit of time back, and of course Tarrant started as a forward, along with Hansen spending time forward and back. As much as I'd love to see a Larkey/Comben duo dominating, I think our avenues to goal are pretty good IF we can deliver the ball inside 50 well. I'm hopeful Edwards can make something of himself as a defender. Certainly will be an interesting off season.

North Melbourne legend Brent Harvey has chosen to watch his son Cooper play football at the Kangaroos in 2024 rather than move from a part-time to a full-time development role at the club.

However, the Kangaroos and Harvey are both hopeful he will be able to remain at the club in a yet-to-be-determined role that suits them both.


Harvey understands the club needs to make his part-time position into a full-time one as it emphasises development during the rebuild under senior coach Alastair Clarkson.

With Cooper showing promising signs in his three games this season before injuring his shoulder, industry sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity, so they could speak freely on the matter, confirmed that the games record holder concluded he’d rather be in the grandstand watching his son than coaching in the VFL.

Harvey’s decision comes as the Kangaroos look at how they might regenerate their coaching ranks. Brett Ratten, who stood in as senior coach for 10 matches while Clarkson took indefinite leave to restore his mental health mid-season, is uncertain whether he will remain at the club.



Ratten started at the club in a part-time role after St Kilda’s brutal sacking of him at the end of last season but stepped into the breach at the club’s request to work full-time in Clarkson’s absence.

North Melbourne, like all clubs, have out-of-contract assistant coaches in a holding pattern as only Tom Lynch and Leigh Adams have been guaranteed a role in 2024, with final decisions yet to be made.

Clarkson and football manager Todd Viney made minimal changes last season but are looking to develop a structure that best meets the needs of the club, which will probably finish on the bottom of the ladder for the third consecutive season.

The Kangaroos have only sat above 16th on the ladder for nine of the past 73 rounds, and will have high draft picks to work with, so they are making player development their priority.



They play Gold Coast at Blundstone Arena on Saturday and could end the season with the No.1 pick.

They traded that pick out last season to the Giants and held picks two and three after a mega trade that also involved West Coast and Port Adelaide. It landed the Kangaroos George Wardlaw and Harry Sheezel, who have both been impressive this season.

The highly rated Harley Reid is touted as the likely no.1 pick, but the Roos are also likely to make a formal approach to the AFL for draft assistance at season’s end.

They may also lose key defender and free agent Ben McKay in the trade period. Essendon, Port Adelaide and Sydney are all interested in securing him.

Which of the first rounders in our midfield is he going to push out of a spot?
 
Free has re-signed? How did I miss that?
Can only think we re-signed him but didn't announce it, has certainly gone under the radar.

I think it's good deserves to have a decent crack at it next year given this year was pretty much a write off.

Great that the club is focussing on development this has been sub standard for a very long time. Surely Gavin Brown's position is no longer tenable? Will be a huge loss if Ratts leaves, top bloke but hard to begrudge him, it feels like he's ready for life after footy now that he has some closure. I wonder if Stuart Dew is on our radar?

Simmo might be available in a few weeks.

Seriously? Next year? Take your pick. A couple of our first choice mids in Simpkin and LDU just missed almost a year combined and we were giving regular games to players that I'd argue shouldn't even be on the list of the worst team in the comp. I'm not giving anything up but we could certainly use more good, experienced depth and poaching fringe players from strong teams that still need to develop (draftees) is fine as long as it's not costing us much capital.

Respct this from both sides. Would have been easy for Boomer to take the job and not be 100% committed, especially with his son involved.

Now double the salary of the role and offer it to Daniel Jackson at Adelaide. He is the best in the space for mine.

Development is arguably the biggest piece of the puzzle for mine moving forward
