So why haven't these "simple fixes" been fixed!

[Egga]

Just wonder whether the club should have a fans night down at Arden St and invite the fans to a forum with the coaches and the fans get to grill the coaches on various aspects of the development and coaching of the side?, North are renowned leaders and trendsetters of the comp after all.

I actually attended one of those in Perth before a Freo game about 5 years ago. Crocker gave a bit of a speech and then took a few questions. I came away thinking we need a new assistant coach.

 

[Only Forwards]

The close loses were what ruined us.

It had BS believe that we were almost there.

No simple fixes, some big ones that were ignored since that afternoon in perth last Sept.

Yep.

so close we could taste it.

We will be and get stronger for this year.

 

[Jack Reacher]

Great question, B.Scott has no clue or has lost the players and not getting msg across, either way would be sacked under normal circumstances however JB re-signed him until the end of 2016 (still an incredible, galling fact!).

 

[Roo-Boy]

Those simple fixes haven't been fixed because Paul Roos is not there to fix our weak defense

Why is Roos the only solution?

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Why is Roos the only solution?

Well, there's his name for starters. Basically an ex-clubman, and as a subeditor's wet dream will keep our profile up in the media.

 

[Only Forwards]

Why is Roos the only solution?

I am positive that it is the alliterative attraction, other than that I have no idea.

He hates us, why the f*** would we want him in the club?

 

[Massive Unit]

Where the f*** is Bob the Builder? If anyone can fix it, that bastard can!

 

[Zondor]

When did Paul Roos come out and say "I hate North Melbourne"? :stern look

 

[The Other Dean]

Speaks volumes of the incompetence of football writers. Any journo worth their salt would simply concoct a story that he's headed to North, get the club to deny it, confess that they fabricated the story, and then run with....

Roos Rue Roos Rumour Ruse

 

[hilly]

Think he criticised parts of our game at some stage. Bit rough given we're 4-8.

Exactly. :stern look

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

More the way he banged on last year about how we ****ed up taking spud Cunnington ahead of Gary Rohan. Think he made similar comments about JZ.

 

[Only Forwards]

I am not referring to this year alone.

 

[Only Forwards]

More the way he banged on last year about how we screwed up taking spud Cunnington ahead of Gary Rohan. Think he made similar comments about JZ.

And how both Cunners and Ziebell were not fit enough for AFL.

He and Healy assembled that pitch forks and lit the torches after the Rohan Thomas incident last year.

yeah nah give him the keys to the club.

 

[Zondor]

So Paul Roos had an opinion about particular North players and suddenly that equates to hate of our club. In all seriousness....

Brad Scott once suggested that we should relocate to the Gold Coast. Why have we given him the keys to the joint? :stern look

 

[Mav]

And how both Cunners and Ziebell were not fit enough for AFL.

Funny how people hate someone that speaks the truth!!

 

[naturally north]

Am not sure the hatred stems from picking player 'a' over player 'b '. More to do with how North operated when in Sydney.We apparently tried to steal their supporters . Make no mistake Roos hates us and I don't give a ****!

Don't care how good a coach he is the bloke is an A grade pole smoker. Would rather Scratcher Neeld.

Am still waiting for Roos to leave for the States they're a much better country apparently!

 

[Only Forwards]

Funny how people hate someone that speaks the truth!!

So in the fantasy land where we pay out Brad Scott multiple years of the contract we just signed him on. You hand on heart believe that Paul Roos would give up his media money to coach a club that he has never shown more than an analytical interest in?

I notice you never quoted the part about pitch forks and torches, using their program as a launching point to go on a crusade against a player because of an accident. Weak media biased Sydney dogs is what Healy and Roos are.

Other than people being able to say Roos coaches Roos, I don't get it.

If we were looking at Sydney coaches I would be looking at Horse before Roos because back here in reality we are about as much of a shot at Horse, and at least he loved us.

 

[mark73]

You do realise that this famous quote was from a losing Grand Final for Hawthorn. That illustrious September day in 1975. It didn't do much for Kennedy's troops so I don't see it helping North in 2013 but it sounds good.

It did the following year.

 

[roomagic1984]

Can someone please provide vision to the players on Port Adelaide tackling pressure - including HOW to stick tackles.
Great examples of how to frickn tackle...

 

[royals1922]

Boys we prattle on about defence and how poor it has been but look at the numbers for the last 4 games. We're averaging about 57 points against in our last 4 games.

Yes we played GWS but we wanted defence and we are getting it.

At the cost of scoring ourselves?

Counterproductive I would have thought?

Strong disregard for weather conditions against GC and Freo btw

Our defense or the oppositions lack of offence?

 

[royals1922]

Well we held the Saints to their third lowest score of the year(excluding today), GC to their equal 2nd lowest score of the year, Freo to their 3rd lowest score of the year and GWS to their lowest score of the year ( the next lowest score for GWS being a goal greater than GWS scored against us).

I reckon Scott is trying to teach the boys to play more solid defence which holds the ball up more- it has been at a loss to our the offensive side though but as many have bemoaned, we need to get a more finals friendly defensive pattern in play.
