Shaw has drifted with the bookies over the last 2 days, which is interesting
Who's price has come in?

Also, I'm not sold that our new style isn't 'sustainable' due to the high level of physicality. There will be days where the physicality is slightly less, but the notion that you just can't keep playing with this level of brutality is just crap.
Rugby players do it week in week out. Combat sports competitors do it several times a week. I'm sure our blokes can bash guys up who don't want to dish it back for a few hours every weekend.
It's a matter of convincing the players that this is the new normal that is difficult. Shaw seems to have done so.
True, but rugby players play 80 minutes a week, our guys play 120 mins. It's a massive difference when it compounds over time.
I think the longer this Longmire / Sydney situation draws out the shorter he will be with the bookies to come to us , which I find a little odd . I think Juddy might have nearly spilled the beans the other night . $$$Shaw has drifted with the bookies over the last 2 days, which is interesting

Really? After years of, well, worse than mediocrity, he got everything in place to put them on the right track for sustainable improvement, and left them in a far better place then they were before he came in.If Shaw is to get the job (which i hope he does) i would not like to see us pay big bucks for Paul Roos to come in, i wouldn't be suprised to see Tudor stay on in that type of role.
I have always felt Roos was overated and he's time at the dees didn't change my opinion of him.

The bloke I would bring in as a mentor is Garry Lyon, but he won't do footy dept. stuff. He understands us far better than most who have landed at North from outside clubs.
What did Juddy say?
Since Shaw came to the club I can’t stand watching any other coach dribble their media spin any longer. The way he stays real and honest with the media is something we haven’t seen in the afl for a long time
I legitimately am excited to hear from him (I know I am one sad individual lol) because he actually will give the fans the truth rather what we want to hear. Even about Cunnington he is stern but fair and you can tell that he demands respect from the boys. Cunners won’t do that again this year, mark my words
I’m excited with footy again
Mate, there was a period earlier in the year where I almost dreaded North games. I would still watch them and all, but I would get no enjoyment out of it whatsoever. It's like the last 6 weeks or so has given me back the love for the game and the club. It's not just the results, but the way we're playing, and like you say, just watching Rhyce do his thing. I posted earlier in the season that I hadn't watched a coach's presser in about three years because you just knew exactly what you were going to get with Brad. I would have watched 90% of Rhyce's, and throughout the week I'm now genuinely looking forward to our games again. Has just has to get the job full-time now imo.
God no.
Been out of the game an aeon.
I don't quite grasp this logic Mordy.
The fundamentals of football haven't changed, as has been highlighted by our past 6 weeks of footy.
I think you'd be the first to admit a game played in the 80s is different to a game played now.
Yeah, but that's not my point mate.
Your point is the fundamentals haven't changed. I want someone with more than a grasp of the fundamentals.
You would be referring to the coach then.
