    Review Training standards / skills and fitness

    Other than some exceptions, our players have not been great at two-way running during and since the Brad Scott days. When I saw Sydney take us apart at the SCG after our 9-0 start with their hard running and transition, I realised that we had to fix that first if we wanted to compete with the...

    Ryan Griffen ... left a struggling club ... the rest is history. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Griffen PS. Back when priority picks meant something.

    And I think it was Sheezel that had the ball ... it could not have been in better hands.

    Oppo Camp The Non-North Footy Discussion & Matchday Chat Thread (NNFD&MCT) VIII

    JHF - I would rather have Wardlaw. Reid - McKercher looks like silk already and will look even better in a side that can get the ball to him more often. Thomas - To build great culture in any organisation requires you to make hard decisions. An 18-week suspension that went unchallenged means...

    Player Watch #28: Bigoa Nyuon

    l If he can carry a football team, we should recruit him and give him the No. 18 jumper!!

    Preview Changes v Geelong, Sun 14 April 1:00pm at VicGovFundedKardinia Park [Zurhaar (calf)/Shiels (GS)/KDaws (ankle)/Stevo OUT; Sellers/Big/Laz/Drury IN]

    I'm a Greenwood fan, but I think that Ford could be something special* and I would like him to be given more responsibility in the team. * He reminds me a bit of Brereton

    Would prefer Ford to have this role as he would be more effective from an attacking perspective.

    Needs a hyphen and second surname ... something like "Mountbatten-Windsor".

    Player Watch #35: Charlie Lazzaro - contract extension until end of 2024

    Lazzaro reminding why Clarkson is coaching instead of me. Looked very sure in his handling, which had me thinking that maybe there is something there.

    Player Watch #35: Charlie Lazzaro - contract extension until end of 2024

    I was a fan, but when you compare his ball handling with say a first-gamer like Duursma, you realise that he is always going to struggle. And then compare it to Kelly, Coniglio, Greene, etc and if you want to compete with GWS, you probably need to make a tough decision.

    Game Day Rd 1, 2024, GWS v North Melbourne (Bull 100 v Josh Kelly’s Dog’s 200 milestones) Gameday Thread

    I was not bagging Goldstein, but I prefer ruckmen that are more physical around the contest. I think that it helps your midfielders to have someone that is clearing the path, making their presence felt, etc.

    Really enjoy having a more physical ruckman in the centre bounces.

    Player Watch #29: Will Phillips

    He is not one of our A-grade midfielders yet, but our centre bounce clearance work always seems to look better when he is in there (admittedly a small sample at this stage). To me Sam Mitchell is the best comparison, but Mitchell made up for his lack of pace by being dual-sided. Maybe too late...

    It is going to be great watching Sheezel and Daicos over the next 10 years.

    Makes the ridiculous look ordinary, which is why he may be slightly overlooked. But you then rewatch the play, and think wow ... how did that happen!!

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    Would depend on what you had done, whether you were facing the public in your role, whether you had a leadership role, and whether females were a key a stakeholder in your organisation. TT is a favourite (was hoping for a Burgoyne-like highlights and longevity), so I am hopeful that it is not...

    Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - 18 week suspension confirmed; ineligible to play in '24 season; NMFC has officially sacked Tarryn.

    The AFL does not believe in precedent ... unless it allows one of their star players to play in a final or win a Brownlow. But if I was TT's lawyers, I would be arguing that it is not reasonable to be punished a second time for behaviour of a similar nature and for the same period for which he...
