[AlwaysRight]

Drew's probably my favorite current North player. Has the ability to win a game off his own boot. Whats the deal with him this season injury wise?

4. Brent Harvey
5. Adam Simpson

3. Anthony Stevens
4. Brent Harvey
5. Jack Ziebell/Adam Simpson/Matthew Capuano.

Yes, Capuano. loved him as a kid for some reason. think it was because i met him and he was super tall and super nice.

Capuano was a bit of a dud...

[longdaveyjetta]

1. Blight, Superstar who had all the skills and more.
2. Keith Greig. Fantastic wingman who was tough and fair.
3.Jimmy and Phil. Always a package for me, fantastic to watch.
4. Schimma. Read Keith Greig.
5.Glendenning. Key position Brick wall who just did everything right.
Apologies to Archer, Dempsey and Carey. Carey was a great player but I loved to hate him as many North supporters would after toilet Duck affair. Sympathy vote goes to Stevo.
Respect vote goes to Jason Mcartney for that comeback.

[LiterallyNobody]

5 - Brett Allison - mainly because of his rendition of one of my favourite Hoodoo Gurus' songs, "Like wow, Wipeout" on "Live and kicking".
4 - Winston Abraham - mainly because of that mark at Manuka in 1998. But I loved Winnie when he played got the roos.
3 - Corey McKernan - a tough nut and a bloody good footballer - one of the most impressive ruckmen I ever saw.
2 - Glen Archer - embodied the Shinboner spirit. Couldn't help but love this guy.
1 - Wayne Carey - forget his off-field indescretions, this guy was the King for a good reason. Back when North Melbourne were the power club and the Friday night footy club, he was just a joy to watch.

[DEVO]

Favourite Roos:
1. Keith Greig.
2. John Longmire.
3. Glen Archer.
4. Krakouer Brothers.
5. Andrew Swallow.

Most Frustrating Roo:
Malcolm Blight. Something always happened when he was near the ball, mostly good, but there was some real shockers as well. The only guy in history who could kick a torp 200m (slight exaggeration) after the siren to win and then in another game run into an open goal and dribble a behind.

Special mentions to Stan Alves, Snake Baker, Briedis, Cowton, Cassin, Schimma, Greigy, Gumbleton, Henshaw, Dempsey the list goes on.

I remember watching the first televised GF in '77 then the replay and then again '78 with North. I knew some of those players almost better than Geelong players. Such great names and gun players.
