    Will North Melbourne now get David Swallow?

    Re: North to name Skipper today Yeah. But offering a pick 18 and a injury prone mediocre/poor defender for one of the most highly rated inside midfielders to come through the TAC cup is more than adequate isn't it?

    Lachie Hansen

    Has come on in leaps and bounds, and has been one of our best players this season. Hammered Tippett tonight, and with the exception of Riewoldt, has beaten each opponent he's been pitted against. He's looking like the best KP player from that 06 draft, with the exception of maybe Jamison (who...

    David King signs with the New England Patriots

    It's the David King who used to play for the Pies not our King.

    Bachar Houli on Ashton Hams

    Surely Houli won't be able to touch Hams all night!

    Handing Down Guernsey Numbers

    Tonight, North Melbourne club legend Adam Simpson handed down his number 7 guernsey to Jack Ziebell, a gesture fitting given that Ziebell is touted as our next captain. THis sort of gesture has been seen in many instances, often incredibly successfully. Another person from the 2008 draft crop...

    Norths 2010 coaching panel

    Since we're talking "dream team" coaching panels. Senior Coach: Jesus (has good marketing ability) Defensive coach: Buddah (to get Lachie Hansen to fill out) Midfield Coach: Moses (we barely use the corridor enough, so maybe he could work his magic to give us some space) Forward Line coach...

    2006 Drafting / Trading Period

    That's because Brown has played more games, and is more physically developed. Hansen is just too underpowered, but has already done great jobs on 3rd tier forwards this year, who are closer to his build at present.(Gardiner, Boyle and Westhoff already.) They aren't great names, but he's shown...

    Biggest Season Turnaround

    Maybe the Power vs Geelong last year? Power won by 3 pts Geelong turned it around and won by 119.

    2006 Drafting / Trading Period

    LOL! That whole thread is pretty hilarious. Let's have a look at the Roos picks. Pick 3- Hansen (who WILL be the Elite defender from that draft, and probably the best KPP from that draft. Pick 21- Urquart- one of our best players, averaging over 15 possesions. PIck 37- Goldstein-...

    Past #14: Gavin Urquhart - delisted at end 11 season, re-listed as rookie, re-de-listed at end '12 season

    The thing is, he was always going to be good. Back in 2005, he was an U18 AA as a bottom age player. Had OP in 2006, but was still drafted at pick 21, which in a normal draft would have been close to a top 10 pick. He has a funny kicking action, but it gets to the target, which is more than I...

    thommo

    He's like the old family dog. Everyone loves him He was great in his hay day. You want to get rid of him and get a new one, but you just can't bring yourself to do it. We need him on top form if we are to have any chance in making the finals, and subsequently doing something in the finals.

    Hansen - Deer in the headlights?

    HIs kicking is a worrying sign, but tbh if he is a defender, that just shuts down an opposition forward, or he's a CHF, then it's ok. His goal kicking is passable, and better than most. He's a great mark atm, but when he develops more muscle, he'll be able to out-manouvere his opponenets, to...

    R15: Port v Kangaroos review

    Commisterations on what was a wierd, yet strangely enjoyable football match. It's a shame to see how the 2nd and 3rd placed sides of last year, could drop so much-- but nonetheless, it was exciting. After showing it many time on TV, it didn't look like he gouged his eyes, more than put his...

    Gibbs > Selwood >>>>> Leuenberger/Hansen/Gumbleton

    I think he means undersized in terms of muscle mass. He just looks like a stick, and he MUST put on some muscle if he's going to compete. He can take a mark, but it's hard to get good body position, if you just can't out-manouvere your opponent.

    Changes vs Pies

    I'd leave Thommo up in the forward line, just because I don't think highly of the Pies defence. Their tall defenders are suspect.
