Posted this in the Viney thread, but thought it deserved it's own & added some additional data points. It's obviously been a disastrous year... Clarkson situation, injuries to key players, Clarksons having to change his system, Tarryn off-field issues. Yet, we sit here with confidence that we...

We need to have a talk about this... Kingy has been alluding to it for weeks. With his contacts at the club, I have no doubt that there is some truth to it... Our game plan under Clarkson was not how the best sides play in 2023. It was slow ball movement, chip chip long down the line. The...

Our third Father/Son in three years. A passionate North supporter, Byron is different from his father in that he's a tall forward. Already followed by a bunch of the boys on Insta, including Jy. Hopefully he does a preseason block with us like Cooper did last year.

What are you doing?

With North steamrolling the Hawthorn/Adelaide/North thread, I think it's time for these two sides to have their own poll. Hawks - Day, CJ, Scrimshaw, DGB, Ward, Kozi, Lewis, Butler, McDonald, Worpel, Moore, Bramble, Brockman, Long, Jeka, Newcombe. Pies - Daicos x2, Macrae, Reef, Henry, Bianco...

CROWS FREE AGENT CONSIDERING OPTIONS ADELAIDE defender Jake Kelly is on the radar of North Melbourne as the 26-year-old weighs a return back to Victoria. Kelly is an unrestricted free agent, meaning he can walk to the club of his choice without the Crows being able to match a deal to retain...

Obviously been a key area that's been addressed in recent drafts & is really starting to take shape. Over the last 20 years, I've personally questioned our lack of balance in the midfield group. Noble & Clayton have been on record claiming that this rebuild is going to be built from the midfield...

Couldn't find a thread... Whispers around Richmond. What's he worth?

These always generate some interesting discussion... I see 5 clubs that are clearly in "Rebuilding Phase" to varying degrees - Essendon, Adelaide, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Collingwood. So the question is, who has the best 23 & under talent? Essendon - McGrath 22, Parish 23, Francis 23...

Mods feel free to merge if there is already a thread for this. Since reading through the "Your Favourite North Item" thread that Chop created, I've been on the hunt for 90's North memorabilia (Guernsey's in particular). Finding 90-1999 guernseys is pretty difficult, despite the odd diamond on...

FB - Bonar - Mckay - Hayden HB - Perez - McGuinness - Young C - Scott - Phillips - T.Powell FOLL - Xerri - Davies-Uniacke - Simpkin HF - Stephenson - Comben - Thomas FF - Taylor - Larkey - Zurhaar INT - Mahoney - Bosenavulagi - Lazzaro - Spicer - Ford - P.Walker - W.Walker Starting to really...

We’ve got one for Pick 2 - I feel like Pick 11 is somewhat neglected on this board, so keen to hear who people have in their sights for this pick. Really good opportunity to get a very good player with 11. Obviously it’s going to come down to who gets taken between 3-10. It’s going to be...

Needs its own thread. I get that Caro is always going to dig the heals in, however if there is any truth to her comments tonight on Classfied, it’s a pretty big problem IMO. The biggest concern is the Archer & Brady dynamic. - What credentials does Archer have to have such a large influence...

A lot been made of the decision to sack our line coaches & the obvious support that Rhyce is lacking. If the club does not bring in some really strong assistant/line coaches for Rhyce next year, he may as well hand the keys over now. My belief (unless they are completely delusional) is that...

TBH I'm really flat on what our midfield group looks like in a couple years. This coupled by the inevitability that we likely take a KPD (DGB) with one of our 2x first rounders - There is also talk of us trading with our other first rounder for a Papley type. I honestly see this as an...

Cam Joyce - Absolutely has to go, I’d almost say that his departure from the club is more pressing then Brad, which is a big call however I think the issues with our recruitment and development are his responsibility. Darren Crocker - Long time servant of the club, well liked, but it’s surely...

Enough is enough - Play them all in the midfield. Our 3 best young midfield prospects - their development as AFL footballers should be our key focus from a list perspective for the remainder of 2019. Ziebell, Higgins can play forward.

2017 showed us a lot of things, a fair few were negative, however one real positive to come out of it was Ziebell playing forward. Has always been best suited as a forward - his power and explosiveness is far more dangerous around goals and has shown that he is capable of kicking bags. Not to...

I've had enough of this bloke running our football department - with all the criticism that Brad Scott gets, this bloke is deserving of the same. He has no football pedigree (started in the marketing department) and has been a main feature and contributor throughout our mediocrity. When...

The Goldstein Preuss issue will be a big story in 2017. Preuss is ahead of schedule and pushing best 22, whilst goldy can't play with another ruckman. We all know how good Goldy can be, at his best he is the best ruckman in the Comp. he is getting older now, and as we look forward should we be...

Looking forward, what is the clubs direction? Are we doing a full blown rebuild? Trading some older players with value and aggressively hitting the draft? Or are we going to attempt to remain competitive and try to rebuild with mediocre picks? I fear that taking short cuts, eg free agency...

Whose spot is boomer taking? Anderson plays despite not being ready. Wagner isn't ready. Turner is an undisciplined moron. Garners strings are cooked. Explain..?

He is no longer a secret - the league is now aware that he is our most exciting young prospect. It should be our number one priority. If it isn't done through the bye, I will be extremely concerned.

Waite>>>>Stringer

I know there is already a thread for list management, but thought this deserved its own. Jaksch is available, and we should definitely make a play for him. Jarred Waite can GGF, would much rather a 19 year old talent with a decade of football in front of him. Very athletic and would lock down a...

For a long time I think our list has severely lacked in two areas. The most prominent area being players with outside run and skill. For as long as I can remember we haven't been a polished side, it is something which has been prevalent for the last decade. Boomer Harvey and Daniel Wells were...

Sorry if I got anyones hopes up but just would like to know peoples opinions on whether or not they think that it is a possibility that north might follow the lead of Collingwood and Richmond and provide a special commentary game this year on Foxtel. Brayshaw, Carey, Schwatta and King, all...

I'd like to slam Tarrant, Petrie and Black. 9 touches between them to half time is just totally unacceptable. Tarrant should have never come in after 1 VFL game, especially when in that VFL game he did SFA, 11 touches and he gets a re-call? How about rewarding Mason Wood leading the VFL goal...

Now there is a lot of negatives about this game, just got home in absolute disgust, but for mine the biggest red-light is the lack of pace in our midfield. Ziebell Greenwood and Cunners were all good individually however it was blatantly obvious at how we were dismantled across the field by...
