    Eddie says send North north

    Also, if it’s any good the other clubs will not let it happen (cf last draft).

    Eddie says send North north

    That’s not as bad as the headline made it sound. On the other hand, all Eddie’s ideas are dumb and never go anywhere.

    Hashtag Kangaroos - genuine and has players on from time to time. Not super polished and some of the regulars are more my taste (more inclined to be positive, more knowledgeable) than others, but they are all invested and I’ve enjoyed plenty of episodes. Also it equally covers the men’s and...

    So if under Clarko training intensity is still miles off, we must have had subterranean standards before.

    Fisher and Stephens both on the bench at least - moving to the fringe.

    I doubt that it’s on purpose but yes it’s a bit misleading to say this is so much worse than other recent down stretches.

    This game has changed. First time I can remember so much of the crowd still being at the bar while the veterans went around in car - usually that’s a full house.

    At the game. Honestly whatever the media and the AFL say, it is s**t being in the crowd - so much drinking, so much aggro, nowhere to go to get away from it.

    Player Watch #44: Cameron Zurhaar - [AFL.com] NM offers 5yr deal - CZ interest from SYD/GC - CZ mgr says 'wants to see improvement' & 'team success'

    Yeah, I’m past being attached to individual players if they don’t show they are fully committed.

    Appreciate the ITK but honestly it could equally reflect that he’s had enough - no point reading the signs, we won’t know until things play out.

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

    Yze wouldn’t be considered either. And as far as I remember, back when we appointed Noble we did not have the most highly rated assistants keen to apply for the job even then. If we are seen to be too much hard work for Clarko I don’t think that makes us more appealing then we were last time we...

    Player Watch #17: Riley 'Stiffy' Hardeman - set to debut vs Crows

    I’d say a) it’s hardly going to be worse, at least he isn’t going to have to learn to be a defender, and b) even it doesn’t help this weekend, it’s a great step to get a guy in there who is much more likely to be part of our back six long-term than most of the options we’ve tried.

    We drafted a defender. And we are playing him as a defender. Gosh.

    Preview North v crows Saturday 27 @1.45pm in Hobart

    It’s weird. Maybe they finish the first quarter and at some level think that wasn’t as bad as it could have been, we are matching a good team in some ways, and drop off a bit?

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    I assumed Jay was hinting that LDU would want to stay in Victoria. He’d better not be saying that because he loves the beach life (which he does) he wants to play for Geelong. Also it would have to help a bit if Clarko learned how to say his name?

    Coach Emma Kearney - will join Clarko's coaching team as development coach and player development co-ordinator

    I guess in this case we’d be comparing Lauren Jackson to an NBL player most people have barely heard of. Hard to believe BJK played to get past the “any man is better than any woman” debate more than 50 years ago. It’s a pointless discussion in any case. The question is what Kearney brings to...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - [Herald Sun] LDU has parked contract talks with the club & is expected to command offers of more than $1m a season

    Depends if “maximum value” is available now or later - if he is testing the market while in contract, that’s his right but we don’t have to rush to terms. And I believe it is his right, he is in the middle of a career that has already had plenty of injury hiccups and has played enough games at a...

    Analysis Ricks Analysis (The Shinboner Blog)

    It’s an interesting question - when I watch a team at the other end of the trust spectrum like Collingwood last weekend, I can see that they trust and value each other as people, but also they have trust in their teammates’ skills to execute (whether that is to spoil, or shepherd, or handball...

    Seriously, make it stop. If the crowd is into it there’s no need for the hype - if they aren’t (for good reason) it’s excruciating.

    You’ll never guess, Marc thinks we should draft a tall defender to solve everything.

    Truth. I threw several sachets back before realising none of them opened the way they were supposed to, I had to open it with my teeth and it splashed down my brand new bounding roo jumper. Meanwhile, my chips got cold. Comfort eating became just another source of unhappiness.

    I quite liked having Libby Birch doing a bit over the loudspeakers at the ground. But that shouty guy is awful and the “make some noise” has always been cringeworthy. Now it’s utterly beyond the pale.

    I don’t know how you typed the bit about intense discipline for our structures to work with a straight face - maybe you didn’t. Obviously I want Colby to be a huge success, but now I really really want him to have a career that embarrasses all these journalists who are running the “consolation...

    Coach Emma Kearney - will join Clarko's coaching team as development coach and player development co-ordinator

    She has been and is a great player and has been a critical part of successful teams, doesn’t mean a thing when you look at the great players that have tried coaching although it is a point of difference with a lot of our coaching group. No-one in the current football department has had much...
