    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'

    I was going to mention this. I get the feeling those words have been said behind closed doors to Cam more than a few times. The manager reeks of a slimey RE agent.

    Past #7: Jack Ziebell [Part II] - retires post-RFC game/280gm&183gl/6yr captain - Shinboner - assaulted post-RFC game& in hospital - get well soon JZ

    Loved watching Ziebell play from his very first NAB cup game where he shot out of the gate. I agree with those above though, the last couple years of his captaincy he was phoning it in. He tried his guts out every game, but he was far too content with the way things were going for a captain...

    "He's got a fair bit to weigh up, and it's unclear as to where he sits at the moment" "The weekends performance wasn't ideal for north but he's not going to make his decision off one game." "It's based more on the Monday to Friday in at the club, seeing the future that's ahead of the club that...

    Past #6: Jason Horne-Francis [Part II] - NM trade JHF & #1 for Sheezel, Wardlaw, CHarvey & PA 2023 1st - you were never one of us

    JHF will be the one that got away for me. I bloody loved watching him play for us and screaming out "horney!" every now and then. It's easy to look at his sulking on the field and pass judgement, but he was also one of the only players to fly the flag at times (against carlton comes to mind). It...

    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

    Watching part of the replay (first half) with an eye on his performance, the guy was trying his absolute guts out while the game was on the line. I don't want him going anywhere.

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

    I'm referring to minimising the damage of our losses, but I can see how that wasn't too clear.

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

    Seems to me a clear indication that we're already in damage control mode.

    His manager won't pluck a number out of thin air and present it to the club. They'll know exactly what he's worth because other clubs will have come sniffing. Exactly as McKay did. They'll look at those numbers and apply the expected 'north' tax, which is that we need to keep players with his...

    Exactly what I said. We don't have anyone to compare to them because we literally don't have anyone in those age brackets anymore. They're gone. The eagles are the perfect example of what happens to a good team when you lose that quality senior core. Which is why Zurhaar is worth more to us...

    This. Consider where the Eagles have been at the last couple years without their experienced spine of 27yo+ players. They looked like an absolute rabble. Now they're back and settled the team as a whole looks much better. We can't let someone with his experience go lightly, and may have to pay...

    Autopsy Autopsy v hawks

    How has this changed so drastically since pre-season and the first few rounds? The players themselves commented on how the plan is simple and understandable. 'North-ball' seemed to be working with quick movement all over the ground, players seemed fit and firing. Cut to round 5 and 6 and we're...

    Game Day North v Hawks zero wins apiece face off for the Clarko Cup. Souva’s 100th.

    Where is the run and carry of the first few rounds? Players talked about the simple plan over the pre-season but they all look utterly confused when they dispose of the ball now. They used to focus on the corridor but over the last couple weeks have focused way more on the slow 50/50 wing kicks...

    Game Day North v Carlton

    Corr is as hard to watch as Jonathan Hay was. There, I said it.

    Pink has been sensational.

    Autopsy Match sim versus Pies. This Wednesday, 10am. AIA.

    Geez Adcock speaks well. Genuinely lol'd at "we must be premiership favorites now we've beaten Collingwood". Confident, direct and clear. Players will be loving that.
