If JUH is available, Darcy has a rest from all levels of footy for the week. Keep his body fresh, he’s had 5 in a row now. Libba in for VDM. Sanders back to VFL to find touch and confidence. Whoever deserves the last spot most on VFL form to come up.

Just as an aside of how far our club has come in the last 15 years, we now have two of the Alter-G treadmills in our gym permanently. Previously, we would send our guys to Collingwood’s facilities to carry out their running on these machines because we couldn’t afford them.

I still have serious concerns about spicers physicality. Was so so soft playing for north.

Charlie coming in for Vanders is my preference. I get VDM has express pace and a headless chook mentality but my god I am sick of him spraying a kick or putting a handball at a teammates ankles. Have Charlie Clarke at the feet of our bigs with Flea sitting there too, and CD as the creative...

Let CD sit on a half forward flank with the license to roam where needed. His disposal is creative enough to execute the 45’s needed to open the forward line. He’d need to have his ass kicked regarding work rate and gut running but that’s one of the only spots we may have open for him. Unless he...

Yikes, Gold Coast have some serious talent on their list. The debuts today have all been really good bar probably Read who appears not quite ready yet but similar scope to Sammy Darcy.

Dare I say it - Gia will be looking at the final pieces of his senior coaching resume by the end of this year. Bringing him back to showcase what he can do with our talent laden forward group and the fact Bev is on the chopping block could mean a perfect storm for the Italian Stallion.

Bevo is pretty much signing the thankyou for your service cards for Macca now. Come trade week we can kiss him goodbye which is really sad. Why on earth would he stay here to play VFL every week.

Baz yet again has declined the invitation to travel with the team. He’s gone and well and truly checked out of our culture. Pretty sad tbh

JHF looks a different player to what he was in that first year at North. He gets out the front of stoppages so often. Hope Sanders can watch the tapes and copy that pattern.

Yeah I’m not 100% sure why there’s so much animosity over a guy on 500k a year (average in AFL terms) which matches his output pretty evenly (average on field). That seems to be such a point of contention where it really shouldn’t be. Secondly, his trade value being two second rounders is...

Pickett will be suspended for a head high shot once again. How many times do the media cover for this sniper? He’s up there with the dirtiest off ball/late hit guy in the league.

This is elite level piss taking by Lobb. I didn’t realise he was actually troll level funny

A bit like us though? Crowd numbers were abysmal on Sunday and historically horrible for us. Our members never turn up in force consistently. We’re always going to be a low drawing VIC club until the fair weather element of our club are eliminated. We shouldn’t throw stones at GWS if we also...

Why is the roof closed? Is it wet? Turf looks slippery as anything at the moment. Dale been shocking with both decision making and execution. Having Darcy to do bigger mins in the ruck means Tim is showing us his forward craft. Bonus.
