Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones
Our biggest issue against the Giants was stopping their defensive transition. Clarko reacting to that by playing CCJ would be madness.- Words: 21

Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher
I just read that they're offering Beau McCreery stupid money—another player who is out of contract in 2027. This is more evidence that their entire strategy is based on luring those players while keeping all of their draft picks. We should be far more worried about Finn. I'd be surprised if...- Words: 59

Player Watch #10: Colby McKercher
They've repeatedly told us that it's unlikely based on their recruiting strategy. They want to do their list build smart. They're not going to throw good picks at us just because Colby is Tasmanian. They have said time and time again that they want to keep their draft picks and use their AFL...- Words: 340

Player Watch #47: Cooper Trembath - signed end '26 - 17 goals in first 7 games - Rising Star nom Rd4 - re-signed until the end of 2029
I feel like King Cooper should be the obvious nickname here; the social media team needs to ditch Trembanyama ASAP.- Words: 20

List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread
It's more likely that Luke Parker wins the Syd Barker than it is that he retires. Plus, we'll need him to reach 100 games so that we can finally steal a father son pick from the Swans.- Words: 37

Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II
Acceptable to supporters and acceptable to the board are two very different measurements. We'd have to be wildly uncompetitive for Sonja and the board to even consider it.- Words: 28

Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II
With the win against Essendon, it's getting harder to picture the scenario where the board signs off on his sacking mid-year. We just need to beat Richmond now, and he is effectively safe. 3-8 at the bye is the bare minimum for him to hold his job, and by the time we're done with the return...- Words: 150

Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma
He spent a lot of the night playing as the deepest forward. HIs teammates need to trust him more in those one on one situations. I'd have backed him in to win most of those contests, but I don't think he was used in that entire second half.- Words: 48

Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II
If I was coaching for my career, then Coleman-Jones might be the last name who I'd pick. I think I'd rather play a man down than have a statue standing in my forward line. I'm baffled by his selection. This decision could end up being Clarkson's legacy at North Melbourne.- Words: 51

Player Watch #1: Lachy Dovaston
After two games: Nick Watson: 18 disposals, 1 goal, 3 tackles. Lachy Dovaston: 18 disposals, 1 goal, 5 tackles. I've cherry picked these stats, but they do indicate that there's no reason to panic just yet. Watson kicked only 7 goals in his first 10 matches. Small forward is a really tough...- Words: 57

If Clarkson is backed until the end of 2026 like Ferball wants, then you'll have to go back to before WW2 to find a comparable rebuild.- Words: 26

Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II
Based on results, COVID is as valid an excuse for Adelaide as the Clarkson saga is for us. Adelaide went 12 wins, 10 wins, 3 wins, 7 wins, and then 8 wins. With that form line, the once in a generation event was clearly a blip for them. If you make an excuse for us, then to have a fair...- Words: 110

Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II
Nicks won 7 games in his second year. The first after COVID. That's how long it took for them to go past us. We lost an additional fourteen games in our first three years of Clarkson. That's a complete different level of futility. Adelaide were also incredibly unlucky to miss finals in their...- Words: 69
