Ours is garbage atm
You believe that Melbourne Football club honestly gave it their best shot in 2019? I sincerely hope nobody at your club shares your opinion... Gold Coast have had a strong preseasonCool bruh. Not when you have the sheer amount of injuries to your best 22 which we had. Go read another self help book.
North were terrible in that match, but both sides had their 10 or so best players out and that's just not going to happen in the real stuff.North have to be the worst placed.
Watching the Dees vs. Roos “U23” practice match last week it is as clearly evident that they have little to no depth (not helped by either poor coaching or an in ability to execute a game plan).
Hawks a close second. There list just looks half baked. It’s clearly not good enough for a premiership tilt, yet they have bought in players as if it is. Even with Clacko they are finishing in the bottom 6 sides.
Adelaide, Sydney and the Bombers are also stuffed. Although I rate Adelaide as a club, so expect they’ll get it right quickly.
Anyone saying Gold Coast is mad. There +5 years away from being a contender, but they have got some serious young talent in a cluster on that list.
You hit the nail on the head. Both sides where missing the top 20% of their respective playing lists, yet one side played as a unit and the other were headless chooks.North were terrible in that match, but both sides had their 10 or so best players out and that's just not going to happen in the real stuff.
And from North 5 of their best players are probably heading the wrong way age wise - Higgins, Goldy, Ziebell, Tarrant even Cunnington - which has to be a concern.
But they were also missing Tarran Thomas, Simpkin, Larkey who are special talents and should be there for a decade and they have some decent young players like Zurhaar and hopefully LDU and more.
I don't think North are too badly placed but I do have my concerns that their constant need to stay competitive has robbed them of some list management choices. Higgins and Goldy held them hostage for contract extensions that I think stronger clubs would've told them to either suck it up or leave and they'll cut the rebuild deeper.
It's a sample size of one though. And maybe the young Dees came there on a mission to put on a disciplined performance, where as North took it as a training drill at their home ground.You hit the nail on the head.

It’s a bit of a % game when it comes to kids, and they just don’t have enough cards to pick from. Take this Tarren Thomas they fap over. Looks alright, but hardly looking like he’s going to be a top 10-20 footballer in the league in coming years, yet he would appear to be the great white hope.
Thomas will be a good player, but more in the ilk of a Melksham.It's a sample size of one though. And maybe the young Dees came there on a mission to put on a disciplined performance, where as North took it as a training drill at their home ground.
I'm with the North fans on Thomas. He does really special things. But yeah, it's unlikely he'll be anywhere near an All Aus shout whilst Higgins and Goldy are still producing excellent footy.
Hes got way more potential upside than MelkshamThomas will be a good player, but more in the ilk of a Melksham.
That game was particularly relevant because it show cases the respective depths of the sides. I didn’t see yesterday’s game, but they look equally bad in their first hit out as well.
Don’t underrate Melk. He’s critical to the Dee’s and his absence is one of the big reasons we went from effectively the highest scoring side in 2018 to the lowest in 2019.Hes got way more potential upside than Melksham
I think most North fans would be pretty disappointed if that was his ceiling
Not saying Thomas's definitely going to be a gun, but has the tools to be one
I’ll defer to the expert here. And just remember that even as we were going backwards we still beat your mob.It could be Melbourne by Rnd 10 as there are some worrying signs there.
They capitulated last year and its often very difficult to turn it around once that kind of decay has set in

Thomas will be good, but I just don’t see him as ever in the same bracket as a Bont., Cripps, Kelly, Oliver et.al.
1. list sizes will decreaseNot even North want North's list.
I don't mind the 11 they cut. If you are going to go, go all in.
The fact that Polec couldn't get into the side, the "big name", they obviously don't rate him.
Aaron Hall is a 6 possy highlight reel. Ben Brown looks like being shopped,
SO
who are they going to fill the spots with? List, will be trimmed, agreed, but not that much.
Polec is rated. There was a bit going on between him and the coach apparently; hence the smackdown and dropping.Not even North want North's list.
