    Player Watch #31: Josh Goater - Got through a full game of VFL, 12 disposals, post his quad strain layoff

    Those eight clearly go before Josh. If we need to off-load another one or two, Pink is okay as back up but would hardly be a loss. Also Powell should be only back-up now and may want to go elsewhere. I feel like this is a good year to make cuts. Whilst we don't many picks, we have a few...

    Is that a thing already? There was speculation, but I can't find much about it.

    Player Watch #17: Riley 'Stiffy' Hardeman

    Why would anyone want to drop McDonald after his performance on the weekend? He completely shut out Rosas. Hardeman should come in for Daniel. We want Riley playing as a distributor not as a lock-down defender.

    Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar The Backman

    What nonsense. He was running into an open goal and in range. Having a shot was the right call, he just missed. Duursma wasn't even in a better position and had just missed a couple including a sitter. Cam was good yesterday. He is still learning the role, but is giving us more drive off...

    Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar The Backman

    There was space in front of him, he should have taken off as soon as Cam picked up the ball. Instead he just stood there. He does this all the time. Logue can run, he just doesn't do it in games.

    Oh that handball, I was wondering what everyone was going on about. Yes, that handball was on, except Warner was awake and Logue asleep. Gus is a very frustrating player.

    Player Watch #5: Caleb Daniel - top5 in SBM after 4 rounds?

    He can't defend and he offers no rebound at all. What is he offering, other than directionless ball retention? It's gotten well beyond a joke, and it's just crazy that he is back taking kick-ins.

    Autopsy Loss v swans, funble, hack and bomb, dont change...

    Even though we lost, it was a great game. We aren't far away. I thought the difference was their ability to run it out of defense, and whilst we defended this okay, they got through enough to hurt us. We just don't have the players in defense who can run as hard forward as Blakey, and co.

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma - 14 goals so far in 2026 - R.Beveridge says club yet to open contract talks with Duurs

    If he wants it enough, the kid will be a star. A short extension on decent coin would be in both parties interests. We get a chance to see how he develops, he gets a chance to stake a claim for a big contract. George, on the other hand, just give him whatever the f... he wants.

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    It kind of does. Anyway, I've been disappointed by the quality of the moderation on this board. It is making many of my posts look stupid. So I've been thinking we should bring in this great bloke from the Hawks board. He moderated there back when they were winning flags, so you know he's...

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    Where's the long bow? Clarko held a press conference at the end of the year and whined about our lack of leadership. He then brought in his own leaders from outside and sidelined the captain to a role that neither suited him or benefited the team. These things happened.

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    Maybe, but I don't think Jy ever had Clarko's support in the role. After the 2024 season Clarko blamed our inability to successfully execute his gameplan on a lack of leadership and so brought in his own leaders. Jy was pushed out of the midfield by players who were clearly worse at it and...

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    That whole 'Selfish Jy' narrative was always complete bs, and vindictively pushed by folks having a sook about him asking for a trade. I think a more accurate one is that he was pissed off because despite being captain, he was being used in a way that was to the detriment of the team. Whilst...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    We definitely need a couple more half-backs who can run and rebound. Bailey can seriously run and break lines but he also has a bit of a headless chook thing going on. Worth a punt for a token pick.

    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 don't think this is as crazy as others do. Ideally he stays forward as key forwards with his potential are rare. But he could also become a gun key defender and we need one of those more. We could at least swing him back from time to time when he is having a quiet game to see how he goes.
