Go the Roos

I’d like you to beat the blues as it will be very amusing but I’m not seeing it happen

I’d actually go further hawks supporters.

Your U25 KP stocks seem dire.

Who is developing in the vfl and how are they going?

Give them decent opponents not what Casey served up and we’ll have a better idea

Go blues. Beat these whites

giving away lots of 50s leading to carlton goals, maybe teach your talent the rules?

Is Simpkin in North's best team in a couple of years?

North Melbourne has the best youth in my opinion

 

[ChairmanZia]

No, you don't.

Maybe if you're a genuine basketcase like North...but most clubs do not require 12 first round picks to build a core.

You've grossly mismanaged your list if so, and you're using Melbourne & Carlton as an example. Not exactly where you want to be taking inspiration.

Adelaide's problem hasn't been the amount of picks, it's been who they've picked. You substitute Jones & McAsey for Butters & Serong/Day and they'd be close to leading this thing...but hindsight is king.

Geelong, Hawthorn, Richmond & built dynasties without close to the amount of picks you're referencing. Collingwood & Geelong constantly contend without those picks, and until recently, West Coast where the same.

I really like what North are building...but let's not pretend like you've got the blueprint and have sorted things out yourselves.

This could have all been avoided - or finished years ago - if your club wasn't a shambles, and you're still a long way off yourselves.

Hawthorn started later. It shouldn't be this close, but through shrewd list management, development, and so on, they've caught up very quickly.

Errrr melb won a flag in 2021, carlton is top 4 so there ya go, bad examples.

You need to be bad enough for long enough to purge all the underperforming oldies to build a new list.

No club can get away from this formula.

Is Simpkin in North's best team in a couple of years?

Yes, he is the captain and very useful half fwd plus mid. Although not elite but will be a great support to the youngsters.

Not sure he is a half forward and can see him not getting a look in as a mid as the young players improve and push in there

Well, from memory, he started off his career as an inconsistent half fwd until 2018 where he got put into the middle. During the covid years, he stepped up as the midfield mainstay. Now, we have a lot more mids, simpkin still has a role as a midfield rotation.

Right, so I give you dynasties as examples and you give me 1 whole premiership and a team in the top 4 in March.

Good to see we're on the same page.

I don't consider club that cheats salary caps with free 3rd party real estates as a dynasty...

Cool story!! I'll leave you to your Reddit board conspiracies now.

Ah yes, running scared

Not exactly.

I prefer to live life rather than sit behind a screen and blame the world for all my problems, or why my footy team is s**t.

You do you, but it's not my thing.

 

[SSSSSS]

Over to the Crows now.

Cmon, lets bring a W to this thread.

North should do the AFL a favour and close its doors. Statistically worse than Fitzroy before they were re homed to Brisbane

North haven’t made finals since 2016. So that’s a top 10 pick for the last 9 years. Plenty of bottom 4 finishes in that time.
Have had multiple bouts of AFL assistance.

How long do they need to purge all the under-performers? And why are they replacing them with only midfielders? 1 AFL standard KPP from the above is a joke.

According to old mate they've got it all figured out, and are now giving advice to other supporter bases on how to rebuild.

There are some definite green shoots...but they're a mile off still.

If we're to use your mob as the measuring stick like he's trying to, then they are probably at Blues circa 2019. That's still a long way from 2024.

No.

All three are pus worthy right now

Not us.

Soligo and Michalanney are the only ones who can hold their heads high.
