    Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis

    Doesn't help if he doesn't replicate it in a game consistently. Missed a relatively easy shot on the weekend. If you convert that to compare with your observations at training, he went 50/100, as opposed to 90+/100. And that's been a theme with him. I like him but he's generally been about as...

    In and out of the side. I'd be more willing to bet that Curtis and Stephenson will be in and out of the side

    Oppo Camp The Kerridge Award 2024 - back in action!

    So many options. Think Motlop just trumps everyone else for me. If a 'first game after long period of no games' multiplier has been done before, I'll have it. If not, don't worry about it

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - Rising Star nominee..... Again

    That's a very good way of looking at it. You're right in that there were so many factors in play that he'd probably never produce for us what he'll likely produce for Poort, and if any of the stuff going around about his behaviour was true, then we really had no choice. I guess I'm looking at it...

    Hey man, we're all apart of this forum. Let's not attack each other. Some people might get phased and stop posting everyday like they do at the moment

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - Rising Star nominee..... Again

    Are we on top based on the vibe, or demonstrably on top? I'll preface this by saying that I haven't really had a favourite player at any one point ever, and that this bloke is very very close to changing that. It's just that I'm fairly sure JHF will be the best player in the league one day. You...

    Yeah mate, you've gone off the deep end here. He's worth more to us than anyone else. Just because he doesn't run back defensively you don't have to ignore or downplay his extraordinary offensive contributions

    What happened on that one? Looked like he had porridge in his boots. Definitely seen him move faster than that for us

    Preview Changes v Carlton [Good Friday Superclash]

    You reckon a half against Brisbane and a scrappy <1 goal win against a depleted Richmond constitute good form? It's not bad form but I've not been that impressed by them. I'd argue they're still working themselves out. This might be the week it clicks for them, but they don't fill me with...

    MRP / Trib. 2024 MRP Lotto thread II

    That assumes that he stops and assesses the situation before running towards the ball, and if he did that, Cunningham would beat him to the ball and run off with it. Not overly practical for a sport of such high intensity

    MRP / Trib. 2024 MRP Lotto thread II

    Bullshit. He's going for the ball until the very last second, when he realizes what's gonna happen and naturally turns to brace for contact. Everything looks deliberate in slow motion so don't even mention that. This is two blokes going for the same footy at once, where one of them sees what's...

    MRP / Trib. 2024 MRP Lotto thread II

    4 for that is a disgrace. Literally penalising the act of going for the ball. We're really gonna have players being taught by their coaches not to enter contests, aren't we

    All three were down as 'indefinite' on the AFL site's injury list last week and I figured that was a good thing. Wannabe Geelong campaigners

    Yeah, those ins for them aren't ideal. AA-calibre defender, good interceptor, and zippy small forward. Bugger

    Player Watch #27: Miller Bergman - BFNAAK - Extends to end of 2025 - broken jaw in VFL, will miss a month

    Bloody shame, because I think the whole Fisher, McKercher, Sheezel rotation is gonna be a real defensive issue this week. 5 extra cm would've been nice, not to mention his very un-Northlike composure with ball in hand

    Preview Changes v Carlton [Good Friday Superclash]

    I'd add to this that he's the best player in the league at getting off a disposal whilst being tackled and is pretty fast to hunt down a man in close. Can take a contested mark and can provide some physicality in the ruck, just like Owens at the Saints can. Also doesn't go to s**t when he has to...

    Ah, being talked up as a 'promising' bottom side. Brings me back to the heady days of 2021. It's nice to have finally reached that point once more. Now if they could ******* go on with it, that'd be nice. P.S. * you David Noble

    Roast I'm sick and tired of losing

    Seems as good a thread as any to post idle and pessimistic thoughts. Who are our actual leaders who've stood up on the field thus far? If I quantify what 'standing up' means, I probably mark it down as communicating with teammates ('go over there and I'll take this bloke,' 'head up mate, you'll...

    Doubt he's lost it. It often happens that someone looks past it and then regains their attributes once their motor gets running. Sounds funny to say but to my eye we need another Jy. One to offer attacking class and a defensive edge at half-forward, and one to do it in the guts

    Did Robbie ever look as gleeful and ready to go in the forward role as Charlie? He's so bloody natural in the role (set shots aside) it's not even funny

    VFL The North VFL Thread [2024 - NMFC d Northern Bullants in Rd1; Sellers 6 goals/Shiels 37d/Bergman 29d/WiPhi 27d]

    That's because he isn't a defender. If you have to learn a role, surely you're being used suboptimally. And no, Sheezel doesn't count because he picked it up in one quarter over a preseason

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    Bergman for Tucker with Scott being moved to his actual natural position is an absolute no brainer if Berg's jaw is in fact functional. If not, bring Arch in and shove LMac up to the half back flank. Sellers would offer more than CCJ in most facets, and so would Comben, but I'll grit my teeth...
