Footy players are tiny these days. Like drovers dogs.

IMO they've been trending smaller across the league since * got done

Imagine JS on some HGH… probably be the same size

 

[Kanga Glory]

From Afl website- “All I want for Xmas 2023 Wishlist “

The long-suffering Kangas are well overdue for some on-field positivity, and the good news is there's no shortage of potential breakouts. Draftees Harry Sheezel and George Wardlawwill have their moments, the newly re-signed Luke Davies-Uniacke should continue to develop and the big 'Souva' in the square, Nick Larkey, has the foundations to go to a new level. But perhaps the biggest Christmas gift Roos fans – and new coach Alastair Clarkson – could hope for is a change of luck for 2020's No.3 pick, the forgotten midfield gun Will Phillips. If he gets up and going, North's midfield suddenly looks far more potent. -

Add a flag and I’d be happy with that.

The thing with Taylor is he is in a bit of Mason Wood category. Talented. No disagreements. But hasn’t been consistent enough to solidify himself as a requirement IMO.

You guys are nuts. Taylor was one of the only players busting his arse every week for NMFC last year. He's a young player who's had four coaches in three years playing in a two time spoon side. The only thing you can ask from a young player during this shit show is effort, and he's out in more effort on field than 95% of the team.

Probably no surprise but have heard the standards are so much higher then they’ve been the last few years. Few of the senior players have copped it between the eyes.

I personally was hoping for a 6 win season. The coaching group are confident of more then that, which is exciting. They’re setting higher expectations then that internally.

Lastly, Wardlaw & Sheezel have made a pact to win a flag at North together.

Merry Christmas.

 

[The Nostradamus]

We about to do a Collingwood 2022 next year

Fairly easy draw, healthy list and the best coach in the game

Just one ?

Without trying to be overly cynical, we heard similar reports about Noble...and Shaw.

I know Clarko is a whole different kettle of fish and it is hard not to get excited but forgive me for treading carefully.

I should say, this is elite though (if true).

Yeah sounds all good but judas was saying similar.
Will wait till they show it on field like Curtis did

I understand the cynicism/reluctance to get burnt after the optimism over the last few preseasons, which came crashing down.

The tangible for me are when I hear things like the optional additional off-season sessions, which last year averaged about 5 players. This off-season they rekn they’ve averaged well over 20.

It is different IMO.

Any word on Wardlaw’s hammy?

Who knows how many games we could win. We’re being judged off a 2 win season, and that’s fair enough…but we’re better than that. …there’s more talent than 2 wins on the list.

Of course it’s different. Clarkson’s mere presence demands it.

Nah sorry TBL

Absolute agree. Sure he is quite limited but even when we’re getting thrashed you can see him busting his ass until the siren.

His efforts are second to none. We need that around the club.

I actually don’t agree that CT is limited. I think he’s quite talented, has shown some good glimpses of his own raw talent, in a shocking side. Works himself into the ground as well. Personally I think he’s best suited in the forward half, is a great shot on goal and has that natural forward iq which not everyone has.

Will benefit like many from a good system.

This is probably the stupidest call and I hope to god I’m wrong but I think CT will have a better year than TT in 2023.

Well, TT is behind him after this year so I don't think it's silly.

as long as he scores well enough for the first few weeks so I can use him as a stepping stone to a premo in SC ill be happy.

This is the best. Yes, those photos look so dodgy, how did they get them from a iCloud hack or something? Just like this prying eyes lil old Emu.

 

[hoffseason gains]

Seen Flynn Perez doing some training today on social media with a PT I follow. Really hard worker that kid, won’t fail from a lack of effort that’s for sure.
