    Just so we are clear on the MRP

    The issue I have is they look at the result of the incident. Swallow is a hard nut so he knows how to take a bump whereas Higgins went off. During the Essendon game Mclean bumped Goddard who went down like a bag of poo because he not aware of what was around him.

    Still not convinced that Hansen will play. Could be a late change with McMahon.

    Unofficial Preview Changes/prematch discussion vs Melbourne [team changes post #293]

    This is an opportunity to rest players before the finals begin. We are lucky that we are in a position to do this. I believe theat the advantages far out weight the disadvantages. players have a rest fringe players get a game before finals opposition don't get to see us play before finals...

    Past #17: Nathan Grima - married on 18/12/15 - will be on The Bounce on FoxFooty in 2016

    I blame Adam Gilchrist for this as he started this whole being honest on the playing arena. I am sure Jack is also to blame in some way as well.

    Past #17: Nathan Grima - married on 18/12/15 - will be on The Bounce on FoxFooty in 2016

    Thanks to Brad Scott now the press in all over this. Will carry on in the coaches box if Thomas doesn't get a crucial free kick because the umpires bekieve he is staging. All Brad had to say was he was paid the free. Any concerns he had should have been raised behind closed doors.

    Predict Brad's presser

    All he had to say was the umpire paid the free that was there. Its not good when your own coach lables you in this way.

    Predict Brad's presser

    I had two issues with the press conference 1. His comments on Thomas were uncalled for. The umpire paid the free because he was pushed in the back. He had both feet off the ground so nobody knows how the touch from behind pushed him forward. There is no comment about Christensen staging when...

    Delist

    I remember watching a young Jim Stynes who also had no idea. Unfortunately with these project players you have to be patient. However we will know in two years time if he's worth the wait.

    The Umpire Bashing Thread

    Over the years Geelong has always had a good run against us. The game was decided in the second quarter by inconsistent decision making. Hawkins gets a soft one yet Drew is always getting held. Goldy gets penalized for shepparding in a ruck contest when the Geelong is standing still. Frees paid...

    Unofficial Preview Changes Vs Geelong

    What is even more confusing is that the same players keep coming back in. We are lacking speed on the outside but don't address it.

    List Mgmt. 2014 Trade and Free Agency Targets Thread

    Hayden Crozier hasn't really had much of a go at Freo and could be very handy with his pace.

    SEN caller

    When these guys played for us we were called the kangaroos. Carey does it all the time. I often refer to us as North Melbourne, North, kangaroos or roos. The important thing is we are still based in Melbourne. I think we are the only club whose supporters have an issue about what we are called...

    Our forward line lapses

    Great work. I find that we don't apply much pressure when the ball is in the forward line. I though that Jack provided this when he played at full forward against Melbourne. When teams get a run on we just don't play one on one. The players appear to be lazy without any urgency. Another area...

    Game Day Changes, pre game discussion & game day thread v Sydney

    Not sure why people are calling for Currie to be dropped. Yes he dropped a couple marks but he also took a couple of contested marks. Goldstein doesnt look as tired later in the gsme so this is surely going to help us run out games. After watching the rrplay Basti wadnt ss bsd as I first though...

    fixture format for next season

    I just heard on the radio that the AFL is looking at a new format for next season. The plan is too group the teams into three groups depending on ladder positions. Teams finishing 1-6 play one another twice and the other teams once. This follows with 7-12 and 13-18. This now makes sense as to...

    Jack replaces Will. Thommo replaces Grima. If Adams doesn't come up then Harper should come in.

    Review Review thread vs Brisbane: vent/pos/neg

    I don't think there was any positives out of this game. The only way we are going to get over this current trend is to win a close game. I can't see this happening this year as the players are mentally shot. Once Brisbane got a run on we had no idea what to do. I would have liked to see our...

    Richmond banner

    The Richmond banner mentioned that if they beat us they would be shouting out the f word. Wonder what f word they were shouting out at the end of the game. I know the f word that I was shouting out and it was flogging.

    Review Review: The bored game, v GWS Rd 14 2013

    It was a strange game to watch. I just couldn't get into it. Next week will be the real test. We will go in as underdogs. There was still the usual turnovers which cost us.

    North analysts here now please

    This is one of the better accessments that I have read. Someone is happening with the communication between the players and the coach. We are stuck with the coach so we need players who can carry out instructions. There doesn't seem to be ny issues in the first quarter but when things change...

    When We Slowed The Tempo Down

    i used to hate this type of football. However for us to take the net step we need to slow things up. The reason it didn't work against Adelaide was because we were stuffed. We needed to have slowed things down just before half time in that game. i actually reckon it would be perfect to use...

    An insight into how opposition clubs see us..

    On the weekend we had ten goals kicked against us at the end of the second and final quarters. We seem to look tired because its all out attack. We need to learn on how to slow things down. We should have started to do this when there was seven minutes to go. When we didn't we allowed Adelaide...

    Moved Thread #7: Jack Ziebell [Part I] © -

    It must be very difficult for players to change the way they play. Nic NAC flys for marks not caring if he is going to hit someone in the back of the head with his knees. It will be a sad day if clubs stop drafting players who are hard at the ball. I wonder if KB likes changing the rules because...
