Certified Legendary Thread Deathriding Norf - "The Manlets"

[_RT_]

Right on the corner of brunton avenue and punt road so maximum coverage

Erect it on the corner of Fogarty Street and Macauley Road.

No idea where that is and don't think I want to either

North finishing 18th in 2025 would be the greatest.

We play them twice and at the right time for a young up and coming list.

Haha no one drives down that shithole compared to punt road

Perfect place for Rawlings to look out his office window and be reminded every day.

How many KPF do we need? Won’t be drafting Ludowyke unless he is the 2nd coming.

I think he’s going to be special, but I understand the hesitation. We may be in a pickle if he’s a clear top 5 option.

That's a good thing. Then clubs will come for it.

I reckon you get a handful of times in your career when you just knock it out of the park. This might be one

No way norf rise up more than 4 spots... And if they do there's gonna be some teams massively shitting the bed.

Pick 3 incoming in t minus 10 months

Based on the 2024 ladder, they'd have to win 7 extra games to move up from 17th to 15th

We've secured a top 4 pick.

I reckon this would make an awesome billboard on busy Punt Road, Richmond.View attachment 2173486

Put the gambling ad disclaimer under it and get a quote from OOh media- I'm sure the whole tigers board will contribute some $$$ for the best of trolls- im in!

Think I'll watch more North games than Richmond games. They will no doubt improve but so will the other teams around them.


Below North - Eagles and Tigs

The following clubs will dictate how good this deal is:

Dons - I really don't rate them at all and can see a bottom four finish. Hopefully they get off to their standard world beater start and push for 9-10 wins.

Crows - Cumming and Peatling help their depth. Draper will make an impact early. Their forward line actually looks pretty good with the two bigs plus hopefully Rachele has a better year. Rankine the star. Should finish above but not guranteed.

Saints - Their midfield is horrible. Can see North finishing above them.

Dees - Think Trac, Oliver and Gawn do enough to keep Melbourne ahead but the slide is coming.

Suns - Surely they are due to improve. Would have them ahead of North.

My best guess is Saints, Dons, Tigs and Eagles finish below and we get pick 5, which is still a win.

Good analysis.

Everyone down my way loves the Saints, so it's easy to cheer them on. Hopefully Max King can have a few good games early and Ross can get them on a roll.

Not so easy to cheer on the Bummers, but I'll grit my teeth and hope they win enough games to finish eighth and then lose their elimination final by 1 point.

Crows and Suns home ground advantages should see them win enough.

Melbourne crash is coming, but not yet.

Clarko will get sacked after comparing the AFL hierarchy to a bag of dicks on live TV. Pick #3.

I wonder how much of that efficiency is because the ball is up the other end of the ground, so their f50 is just open for easy chances on counter

Quick look, they average 59 i50s against in 2024, we were 2nd worst at 57 and then GWS 3rd last at 54. Probably very viable without watching them to assume that’s likely a reason based on stats.

Larkey kicks straight and draws free kicks.

Good call re home ground stuff. The Saints just don't have enough in the midfield in my opinion but maybe I'm underestimating some kids. Ross's boring game plan should see them close enough in enough games and they did finish the year well.

Can you guys tag some of the salty NorF supporters into this thread

We need laughs in 2025

I don’t think there’s anyone to tag to be honest with you

I get the posts on north rising but I could also see them finishing second last. I just don’t see them passing anyone yet. They would have to click like hawthorn did and I just can’t see culturally the same buy in. Their top up players are all shit.

I have gone through Norths fixture and had a crack at predicting their wins to see what pick we may end up with.

2025 is going to be a fun year death riding them!

Bombers are the club that I see falling further. I think they had two wins and a draw against top eight teams last year and one of those wins was against the Hawks early on when they were playing badly. No real reason for the Bombers to do better this year.

Absolutely. Plus they are going to need to find another 42 goals (2 per game) now that Stringer is gone.

Take that off them based on 2024s close results and they finish on 24 premiership points, 5 wins and 2 draws, % of around 80, and in 16th place behind West Coast.
