    List Mgmt. Will North ever get the best 22 on the park in 2021?

    Yes - of course.....I had a pretty good idea I was missing someone obvious. ....and allows Cunnington to push forward. And that said - I've been impressed with Menedue.

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

    I was thinking the same....... Lindsay sparked a couple of rule modifications......even though he didn't technically do what the rules were brought in to negate. But sheesh - - he was a pariah wasn't he.

    Roast The MRP

    Consider the way that Christian (MRO) provided the case for the defence instead of the case for the prosecution last week for Selwood on Mansell. It is astounding that when Selwood comes in and hits the head of a guy who is front on to him (and who clearly touched the ball first) - - that the...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

    And consider the Selwood on Mansell the previous week......go figure that yet again - - the MRO presents the submission for the defence as his reason for dismissing something that actually required him (the MRO) to present the case for the prosecution. He did exactly the same with Mitch Duncan...

    Roast The MRP

    What I find astounding is that the MRO isn't tested nearly well enough - - it's a bit of a protected closed shop - - very hard to get a case thrown out.......can only really challenge a grading. I'm still dirty that Mitch Duncan wasn't penalised - - the MRO actually presented the "defence for...

    Well of course we saw Cunnington hit for 1 week when Laird went off to have the knock to his knee assessed. There's a different rule for North........I reckon Christian figures he needs to hand down a suspension a week just to be seen to be doing something; so - - go "Off Broadway" and take...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

    The assertion that two players contesting the ball - - with NIETHER jumping/electing to bump - - the assertion that somehow one of them has engaged in "rough conduct" and is culpable for what?? getting the wind knocked out of him?? Jiath played out the game. Was he even assessed for...

    Mitch Duncan on Aaron Hall

    It was hardly an "emotional exaggeration". Perhaps an "eloquently painted description" As it is - - I still look at from where Duncan launched off his left foot - at that point committing to a huge flying leap at the kicker. So....yup.....it's a bump to me. #HangingJudge

    "highly emotional exaggeration" Hmmmm......which was what phrase exactly???

    Mitch Duncan on Aaron Hall

    A smother is targetting the ball. NOT a leaping shirtfront that knocks the guy out. It might seem a little too subtle for some out there to understand........especially umpy #17.

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    That's certainly true - - if we can turn things around a bit - and Hall is fit/healthy - - then he becomes a damaging player for us. In the meantime - you're right - he at least has a go at carrying the ball and outside of him and young fellow Lazzaro......cupboards a bit bare (Atley).

    .....so Hall's moving to Melbourne too? Take some doing getting the Normie of Oliver or Petracca.

    Mitch Duncan on Aaron Hall

    The comparisons to marks are such a "worst case scenario" on something like this. In the Duncan case look (see images below) at where he launched from and where he landed (past Hall after collecting him). He didn't just jump 'up'. re marking contests - - there's a lot of freedom there; they've...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    The thing that gets me about the deliberate interpretation.........it's rarely paid against a forward but we all know you'd rather a stoppage/throw in deep forward pocket than a behind. For the defender........rule #1 was always "The boundary is your best friend". The interpretation when...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    I just reckon that people letting Duncan off 'cos he jumped up and it was innocent and happens all the time. That's not so. We don't see this happen all the time. If you look at the images below......you can see just from how far inside the 50m arc that Duncan has launched at Hall and where...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    Never made it to the tribunal. That's my issue with this. I think Christian has dismissed it too readily. We'll agree to disagree.

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    Actually no - - watch the initial footage here. Note that Duncan doesn't just jump "up". If that's all he did - - fine. However - he's running towards Hall and launches from about 48 metres and collects Hall at about 51 metres......noting that Duncan has so much momentum towards Hall that he...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    No.....it's a game of football that includes a punitive review system that can progress to a pseudo courtroom in the form of the tribunal. And ever since Leigh Matthews on Bruns there's been that fine line understood that could see you end up in a courtroom. After all.....it's a game of...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    It's because it's a high paced contact sport that you can't let guys just go in recklessly. Note that Hall is smashed into the instant his feet land back on the ground. Seriously - is was NOT a reasonable attempt to smother given the momentum that Duncan carried directly towards Hall. It was...

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    re the Suspension........I do think it deserves further inspection. Especially given the outcome and the current focus on concussions. Christian actually illustrates why in his appraisal. "Player Duncan, who is positioned in front of Hall, runs quickly towards him and leaps in the air in an...

    Mitch Duncan on Aaron Hall

    The Ziebell one was ideally a valid attempt for the ball; he's allowed to jump up and take it even if it's a handball. It's a contested ball situation. It just so happened that Joseph stretch out an arm and got hands to the ball first. It was just one of those things. Should've been left as an...

    Mitch Duncan on Aaron Hall

    The comparison with the Ziebell one is somewhat apt. For the reason that both Duncan and Ziebell are definitely allowed to jump for the ball.....in a marking contest....pretty well without constraint. In this case perhaps there's an arguement either way..........however with the focus on head...

    I do note around the bay we can google maps the Hamilton Wildcats oval at Mohawk - marked out. Is the Calgary field represented on Google maps yet? Where about is it located?

    Norths list strategy. Genius or disaster?

    Ironically - I preferred a Majak Daw up forward - - someone that the likes of the Swans undersized defenders couldn't push under the ball. Brown and Petrie before him were unable to hold their position under the ball. Always frustrated me - especially when our mids just bombed the ball on top...

    Norths list strategy. Genius or disaster?

    At North - we have a tendency to play it safe. And so I'm torn then on the Ben Brown front - as I DO like the forward set up with BOTH Brown and Larkey and DON'T like it with just one of them. Brown - after all - is capable of (having done it once) kicking 10 in a game. I still believe that...

    It would be very hard to go past: However - from personal project perspective - I'd buy multiples of this one (or the 2001 re-release)......along with the Black Falcons Fortress (with the Yellow timber frame wall panels); but if the Guarded Inn below came out again I'd be picking up at least 5...
