North delisted 11 so far

Wow, that's a culling

 

[Kapers]

North Melbourne are in for a worse season than Adelaide next year.

It is nearly crazy brave stuff but I guess what does he have to lose?

It really cannot get any worse and when you look through the names it is a bit of a shrug of the shoulders from me. List was left in a shocking state for Shaw to inherit.

AFL website has lost their thesaurus. Three headlines in a row with the word "massive" in them. This is what happens when you get rid of journalists and go for the clickbait.

That’s what happens when you leave the work experience kid in charge.

Gary Ablett Sr has lost it (if he ever had it) with his rant about the virus.

oh no.

I've been exposed.

Some of his views were "somewhat" sane untill he mentioned putting Lucifer on the throne.

You have to laugh. As mass players will be cut as a result of this pandemic, not to mention countless other staff who have given their all to the game for decades, clubs are still finding the time and the list space for these code-swappers who are not naturals at the game.

But hey at least he's athletic!

You can't teach height. I'd have him at the Swans no problem. Hope we sign him actually. Play him behind Sinkers and whoever we get to plug the hole next year - with selling point being he'd have the most opportunity here.
We should have done similar a few more times over the last few years with some ruck prospects IMO, we had the perfect reserve league to blood players new to the game in. But this kid has played footy before as a kid anyways.

He was sounding like a fruitcake within the first 60 seconds.

Has Hanners has been round to Taylors place for dinner a fair bit?

 

[Swansujelly]

wow, GWS have some serious issues.

Gee the drop off in quality of teams being successful has been really sharp. Dogs, crows and giants all missing finals the year after playing in the grand final.

One has to wonder at the mental fortitude of some of these teams. You don't suddenly stop being a good player after an off season. It seems like there are quite a few clubs who need to look into establishing more of an identity like the swans, hawks, cats, eagles, and more recently tigers. Clearly there are clubs who have shown that they have a sustainable model for success not just through player quality but through leadership, recruiting, team culture, and coaching.

 

[Swansujelly]

soft, just a good tackle. this is why some get disillusioned with the game.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Anyone watch Brett rattons press conference after st kildas win?

I like the guy, but judging by the terminology he used, he made it sound like they're content with simply making finals and anything more is a bonus.

There's a school of thought that the team's performance is a direct reflection of the coaches beliefs / philosophy.

Damian Barrett impersonation here:

If a team's performance is a reflection of the coaches belief.
Then, st Kilda will be eliminated first week of finals.

St kilda is a bit of a case study for me, I found rattens words were weak, and didnt instill a sense of expectation that they were capable of going deep into finals. There was a sense of doubt, almost as of he was happy for an early exit so that they could improve next year (perhaps a hang up from his Carlton sacking)

 

[Swan4Life]

So who do we want to win out of Hawthorn and Gold Coast?

I say Hawthorn - if they win by enough and we (likely) lose to Geelong then we snatch the no.3 draft pick.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pick 3 is on!

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Clarko’s half time talk will be interesting ..... “what the hell are you blokes doing? We’re supposed to lose this one! Remember the plan, secure pick 3 and I’ll have a good post-match whinge ..... gawd, how many times do I have to tell you these things!”

Maybe he's lost the players

 

[bedford]

Pick 3 is on!

Here we go ! both online.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope they win 80+

Could be an ugly second half if they are both trying to lose lol

 

[MarkP]

Interesting insofar as if the Hawks win and we get three it makes the likelihood of a Campbell shenanigans bid that much less. Will really hate a AFL priority pick or compensation pick come before 3 though.

 

[Mister B]

Still not understanding why people are cheering for us to finish below Hawthorn. **** that. **** them, **** their coach and **** their arrogant campaigners of supporters.
