Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 18 - North v Hawks Sun July 16th 1:10pm AEST (Marvel)

[Elmer_Judd]

If North don’t improve, he’d have to be a near certainty to look elsewhere next year? I wouldn’t even be surprised if he asks to get out at the end of this year while he’s still in contract. He’d be elite in a top 8 team. Could see the Saints going hard for him.

I’d love him at the Pies

Everyone would love him at their club but LDU strikes me as the loyal type.

I think he will be North's next captain (possibly as soon as next season)

North are so depressing to watch and I watch WCE play every week...

They look worse than West Coast right now. Making Hawthorn look like Collingwood.

I hope not. We have the spoon locked in next year and can't afford to lose anyone useful, much less good, for years beyond that.

The umps need to stop falling for it when players duck their heads.

Doing their best to justify another priority pick.

 

[HairyO]

Finally a much better quarter. 5.1 rather than 1.5.

Shows you how bad West Coast are that North have beaten them the last 2 outings lol

 

[WillHayward]

Look at their side today. Pretty much all kids.
They need some older talent to lead the way.

That said, he ain’t much chop.

I hear you but my point is they have been rebuilding for five years and should have gone past him by now.

Ziebell was subbed in after Wardlaw left with hamstring tightness.

 

[VinnieB]

Stephensen really adds nothing. North should be putting him on the trade table and trying to get something for him.

 

[nobbyiscool]

What is it with Hawthorn and their shitty guernseys? And where does the chevron come from? Did they just invent that or is there some historical link?

 

[Engimal v3]

Hawks player just ran a half marathon

 

[nameless]

Is Ziebell serious?

There were no Hawks within 10m

 

[branedotorg]

Half back interception, fast pressure free transition, turn over on half forward... Repeat

 

[juice t]

Last time I saw a Ford get that much air was the end of Thelma and Louise

 

[VinnieB]

North will sack Ratten this week

 

[nameless]

Have North avoided a lot of spotlight because of West Coast?

They have a longer losing streak this year and while they haven't had the embarrassing losses like WC, they have looked awful at times and don't have the 20+ injury list the WC have had either.

Desperately need some key position players. It's unfortunate they won't get Walter in the draft, but probably need to take Caddy or Curtin and play them as KP

 

[freddy mercury]

I hope the AFL don't give the North Melbourne football club a priority pick or any assistance.

 

[md20]

T. Thomas is back to looking like he doesnt want to be out there

They need to trade these players out. May have some talent, but a rebuilding side needs examples set and minimum standards.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Clear 50 not paid even the Hawthorn player expected it to be paid against him

 

[mattwa]

North are an embarassment atm. Surely if this goes into next year with no improvement these young kids with talent will request getting out of that rabble

 

[aussierulesrules]

Hawthorn since R10 with Sicily: 4-0

Hawthorn since R10 without Sicily: 0-4

 

[Xtreme]

They look worse than West Coast right now. Making Hawthorn look like Collingwood.

Yep. Now for Roos to work out how to swap pick 2 for pick 1.

Or they take Curtin and have him with Larkey Curtis Zurhar and Ford.
