You do a good impression of a Essendon/Carlton supporter with your “champ” talk. But same as those guys, you need evidence to back up your ego.So is Cavarra, will he get a game? Anyone who knows footy and knows our side well, they would know that Jong is not in our best 22. His skill set just isn’t up to it. He is a great back up, great mark, but disposal and decision making is not AFL standard, come on champ
Agree with most of what you say here, but I still don’t agree that he’d make the current side better, don’t wish anything against Jongy, because he has been a great clubman, and is tough as nails, but he gets injured when someone breathes on him and we really should’ve moved him on sooner like we did with AdamsYou do a good impression of a Essendon/Carlton supporter with your “champ” talk.

I would suggest that our Football partment would fall under the category of “anyone who knows footy and knows our side well” and they have basically had him as a first choice player whenever fit for the last 5 years.
I’m assuming you haven’t watched the video but those of us on here hoping he gets a run soon have basically said he’s a great option to fill Wallis’ spot or VM if he goes down. Can apply immense forward 50 pressure, great pace, excellent mark and shot at goal.
Perfect skill set for our forward line up right now. He’s not in our best 22 but you never really get your best 22 on the park even in round one of the year. He’s in our best 26 and is very versatile, and has many traits that would compliment our current team.
I would guess he’ll get a run in the next couple weeks and I will be very confident having him in the side.

He gets injured not because he’s breathed on but because he’s fearless in his attack on the ball and man. Needs to learn how to protect his body.Agree with most of what you say here, but I still don’t agree that he’d make the current side better, don’t wish anything against Jongy, because he has been a great clubman, and is tough as nails, but he gets injured when someone breathes on him and we really should’ve moved him on sooner like we did with Adams
Come on mate - Bolta has played 20 games. He has potential but he is far from All Australian. You are getting Astbury mixed up with Grimes my friend - he is a good honest plodder.Balta and astbury are all Australian level guns.......

I'd rather give up two home games to Ballarat over 11 home games to Tasmania which the AFL looks like it is going to force Norf into.
That sentiment is certainly understandable but I don't think we have the luxury of playing all 11 home games at Marvel.Don’t think it’s an either or scenario... I’d rather neither
I am still not getting how Tasmania is supposed to be North Melbourne’s deliverance and salvation? Relocating is not going to make the team play better. It isn't going to guarantee on field success. It would centainly cease to be North Melbourne as we know it and I suspect would haemorrhage its 32,000 Victorian based members. Thus Victorian football would be beleaguered and weakened by the forced rembranding and relocating of one of its oldest teams.I'd rather give up two home games to Ballarat over 11 home games to Tasmania which the AFL looks like it is going to force Norf into.

Imagine the boot being on the other foot and the media and arm chair experts crapping on every other week that the Western Bulldogs should up stumps and rebrand and relocate as the Western Victoria Bulldogs permanently based out of Ballarat. Jesus! You blokes wouldn't swallow that crap, so why do you think for a minute that it's fair to throw that at the feet of North Melbourne FC or its owners (the members)?
Oh and Cogs, Davis and De Boar were injured yesterday for GWSJeez the stars are aligning for us big time. Brissie have been away from home for a few weeks and are down a few cattle. Witts has just done his ACL for GC which is obviously shocking for him and I wish the bloke all the best but he would have caused us some head aches. Really should be 6-0 at the end of this block of games going into the Friday night clash against the Tigs at the G

Who will run with Neale? Libba?
Think Treloar moves more forward this game, go Hunter/Smith wings and Bont/Macrae/Libba/Dunkley as the main mids. Just a bit concerned about the amount of offensive mids Brisbane have and whether they'll look to exploit Treloar's matchup. He's not as bad defensively as Pies supporters say he was but he'd still be our least defensive midfielder out of the 5. Or do we back in Libba to win the clearance anyway and go with Treloar as the distributor?
Big Oscar, Neale is underdone, Jarred Berry, Rayner, McStay from the best 22. A few are tests but wouldnt be suprised if Brissie lean on the side of caution and just get home unscathedWho’s missing at Brisbane?
After a 21 goal win, the only changes likely are those enforced by injury.

If you were Cav you would be walking slowly
McNeils point of difference is his pace and it’s become crucial with the new rules
That’s not to say West or Cav don’t deserve a go but talking of walking out is crazy talk
