Surely his interview is up soon?
keen to see what he has to say
"It's a fantastic club. Playing in finals etc.
The boys have been great. Brad and other coaches have been great. (Insert senior player) has taken me under his wing and shown me around the place.
Just really want to prove myself etc etc
Sights set on Rd 1".

I know they can't say much in these interviews but for once I'd love some honesty.

"Hawks are a pack of campaigners, Especially Josh Gibson. Hodgy is a good bloke but Sam Mitchell is a complete wanker.
Don't even get me started on Clarko, talk about small man sindrome"

Just caught up on some further footage from the man himself giantroo and it's not hard to get excited or is the saying it's so exciting I'm hard?

In any case cannot wait to see him going around!

where do we play him? wing or half forward?
Purely looking at the clips, switching between midfield and HF.

Paraphrasing one of the hawks supporters who wrote about him, he looks like a run from contest to contest type (a la Swan) more than a genuine run the wings and gather uncontested possessions type.

And some of the passes that he pulls off. You see it and immediately think WTF but he has a high success rate. He sees what few see.

My biggest regret, besides the missed games, is that Dean Laidley made him a bit too unselfish for my liking. He'll dish off to a less skilled player when I'd rather he take the shot from 50m.
I don't think that Daniel ever really understood how good he was.

In fact I would suggest that self belief is not a strong point at NMFC. Boomer has it in spades. Plus the imports. Who else?

Some of our blokes look positively apologetic at times. Atley is a prime example.

“North is looking to go one step further and hopefully, with the team we’ve got together we can do that.’’

Probably the best part to take out of the whole article, already referring to North as 'we'. Good work Jed, you know how to win the supporters over!

Arrogance, at least on field, is frowned upon.

Like masturbating in an aero plane.

Depends upon the airline!
I was on one of those planes at the shopping centres that you put $2 in and spins around. (May have been the batmobile/plane) I was getting into the character of playboy Bruce Wayne.
