    Are we really facing the cliff?

    Ha....know what your saying, but I think that is where Bigeasy was coming from that it's not as bad as other supporters make out (Ie; his balcony comment) I agree also on your evidence, I think we we will face a downturn but it won't be as dramatic as many expect. (we may not even go back if...

    Are we really facing the cliff?

    I dont think there will be a cliff, but i do expect a dip in ladder position and enough to significantly affect Premiership chances. For mine 2016 is our best shot for a long time considering state of list and assuming players stay fit. Its all well and good to name a heap of youngsters on...

    Your Best Sporting Acheivement.

    Yep. Especially when you add some elite players into the mix as well you go from high to low very quickly.....

    Your Best Sporting Acheivement.

    Playing first grade cricket for North Hobart at 17yo. My biggest memories of cricket though was after being a level or two above same age group growing up, found when moving on to play/train against quality 1st grade including State squad players a huge leap of which I would never have been...

    Opinion How much should we focus on number 5?

    That for mine the perfect style outcome/approach in theory, but I think might be a harder reality than some might suspect. I think we either compromise our chances this year by using young talented players who need/want opportunity (but may not deliver as much), or we compromise the future by...

    Prediction Most improved/biggest decline

    Most Improve; Atley Brown Most Decline (disregarding veterans); Hansen Thomas Think Brown and Atley will be quality players when fit and with more confidence. I know Hansen and Thomas are quality at their best, but I worry due to form and injuries whether they can reproduce it.

    Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

    Settle down....ha. Daw will play if and when he deserves it, so far that hasn't been the case. It might in 2016 and good luck to him - it makes his prospects better and ours potentially. Majak has many obvious qualities but many obvious deficiencies - that gap has to close significantly IMO.

    Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

    I don't think we will win a premiership, I think we lack elite midfield quality - we have depth but not enough top end. However i'd like us to do all we can to achieve that result, whilst keeping an eye on development, hence my thread. I think we are too flaky game to game to achieve top 4, I...

    Official Club Stuff North to change leadership?

    Makes sense BE, fair enough. Won't happen though IMO. I also think our dual vice thing is unnecessary.

    A Very IUB Farewell

    Of course, but I think you will find the mods (rightly) dealt with this.

    A Very IUB Farewell

    I have no idea on that but i'm pretty sure the mods did this or certainly requested those who can to make it happen (and understandably so)

    Official Club Stuff North to change leadership?

    If you want Swallow replaced that's fine (even if I don't agree), but based on next gen approach why is Petrie Vice not Swallow or someone younger? For mine it contradicts what you are trying to achieve. I strongly doubt that your proposed approach is a likely outcome but who knows.

    A Very IUB Farewell

    I think the mods right the right call. I hope he/she comes back but if so to focus more on footy when posting.

    Opinion How much should we focus on number 5?

    I'm guessing you missed a "not" before the sort of players (as in we don't want that type rather than do), and if so yeah i'd say it's a fair call - but also a difficult situation especially if they deserve games off VFL form but aren't able to get them due us prioritizing older/near retiring...

    Opinion How much should we focus on number 5?

    Yes I agree. I think there should be opportunities for Scott to allow players to continue development without overly risking our chances of short term success. I do believe however we will need a very positive start to the season to allow us to have that flexibility. If we don't I think the...
