    Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - [AFL.com] NM offers 5yr deal - CZ interest from SYD/GC - CZ mgr says 'wants to see improvement' & 'team success'

    If we get band 1 compo CZ then I’ll take it any day. He ain’t that good but gets away with it because he occasionally smashes an opponent.

    Oppo Camp The Kerridge Award 2024 - back in action!

    Yeah Rochelle, especially after last weeks rather feeble marking efforts. We’re the perfect opponent for him to ‘make up’ for his shame. Expect plenty of hard ball gets, pack marks, 2 way running, 2nd and 3rd efforts etc.

    List management 101 (69?)

    Lauren Wood mentioned on that show that since 2016 North have bought in 95 players and in her opinion only around 15 at best would get a pass. * we’ve been just so hopeless with our list. Would love to see that list of 95. Everything we do or don’t do (lose to GC!!) seems to turn to shite for...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    Don’t think he has ever had the commitment and desire to be a top liner, a leader or a North legend. It’s what us fans generally expect from a top 5 pick. Not with LDU unfortunately. Stupid us. Whether it’s his own introverted nature or our shitness he simply looks like he’s coasting and happy...

    Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) VIII

    Oh my God, what have we missed out on. Harley Reid is seriously impressive. This will haunt us for a long time. * I hate footy sometimes.

    Oppo Camp The Kerridge Award 2024 - back in action!

    Gunston is kind of in that Kerridge list clogger twilight zone nowdays. Will roll back the years, kick 7 and announce his retirement straight after.

    Opinion Is this rock bottom?

    With our incompetence and shitness we’d probably turn Reid into the next Jack Watts. Or he’d probably do 2 knees in 3 seasons and become another slow, ineffective plodding mid/hff, joining the many wasted high draft picks that have gone through the joint. But yeah the GC game looks like being...

    Analysis Leadership, where is it?

    Jy and Luke are lost causes. Clarko should be and probably is developing the next batch of leaders. In the meantime Larkey to be captain next season for 3-4 years before Sheezel takes over. No need to burden and burn him at such a young age.

    Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

    Asked a Swans mate today about this guy. Knows his footy. He reckons Stephens is a good player and was spewing Sydney got rid of him. Has been monitoring his progress at North and said he can’t believe how crap he has been for us. Don’t know what to think but at the moment it looks like a...

    Roast Grumpy Old Thread II - the grumpiness continues

    I’m repulsed seeing so many people walking straight out of public toilets after doing their things and not washing their hands. * off.

    Bye bye Clarkson

    He looks drained and possibly struggling for motivation. Reckon the racism scandal knocked him around a lot. The AFL landscape has changed since he first coached Hawthorn. You could get away with a lot more on and off the field 15-20 years ago. He and the Hawks lived on the edge. Can’t happen...

    Preview Changes v Geelong, Sun 14 April 1:00pm at VicGovFundedKardinia Park [Zurhaar (calf)/Shiels (GS)/KDaws (ankle)/Stevo OUT; Sellers/Big/Laz/Drury IN]

    Their 2nd and 3rd tier flankers/part time mid’s/1st year players etc will be given additional midfield time and responsibility because it’s only ‘Norf’ and will smash us, a few of their old senior players will be managed and given an easy day on the tools (Danger in fwd pocket etc), Scott will...

    Autopsy Gather round my fat hairy ass

    Is there a more energy sapping, spirit crushing, momentum killing AFL player then Luke McDonald. Yet again gives away an unnecessary and idiotic 50 metre penalty that results in a goal for the opposition. When the going gets tough our youngsters have * all to look up to, to guide them, to...

    Preview Changes vs Brisvegas [In: Greenwood, Comben & Shiels / Out: Pink, Lazzaro & CCJ]

    Pink has copped Hogan, Jackson and the Curnow/McKay double act in his first 3 games. He’s a 2nd or 3rd key back at best and for me given our circumstances has been ok. Was bought in for depth purposes and not to become the next Steven May.
