Good players can go backwards in the wrong environment and when the team is in a rebuilding phase. Everyone's confidence goes down and it snowballs from there. Especially if a player and coaches aren't on the same page. Roos have been down for a few seasons now. Couldn't have been great (as we know...

Looking like he’s out of luck on the field and off! Poor bugger, hope he’s ok Can we believe the Hun? Saying Lucy Brownless n PMac are no longer a couple? She'd be a typical wag So as he's no longer in the big league and no longer earning the big bucks , his appeal will have waned . How predictable...

Spoken to a few North supporters recently and asked them about Mason Wood. They all said exactly the same thing- So Inconsistent, but they all conceded he showed alot of promise at times and had the tools to be a good player. Would be a good effort if we can take an inconsistent player into a regul...

Higgins and Gresh rotating mid and forward already has the hallmarks of a great in team partnership. Salavating stuff. It is indeed salavating stuff. Fantastic to see them doing this already - we have men of vision now, both in the coaching staff and of course little AFL "gifts" like Leth...

I'll say!!!

I kind of like the choice of Marshall Wasn’t an initial contender but if we’re looking for someone that could take on the role, manage the responsibility, set the tone and grow into it more over time... I kind of feel that he will excel Yes, this is pretty much exactly the way I see him and the sit...

The best leader will be made captain, not necessarily the best player. If the best leader is Jack Steele, then so be it. But the best leader could come from the Membrey, Ross, Billings, Howard group Or there could be another we are unaware of? I think that Wilkie should be considered. He is a good ...

Not sure if your mate is pulling your leg, or if you're pulling ours! Edit: err, sorry if you were just cracking a one-liner - I was slow to get it.

Yeah, kids!

I live part time on the Gold Coast and my youngest daughter goes to school up here and has a little friend who comes around home called "Frankie". My wife had invited a few people over including Frankies parents and I had met her mum a few times, but was surprised when her dad arrived and...

Would Marshall be considered? For me its Steele, Howard, Marshall, Membrey with distance to Ross & Billings. it is very hard to watch a player and then know how they behave internally. Steele looks a leader onfield but he may be a Harvey type leader who was more follow me than a Geary who seems...

Tell me this why would you wait 2 years to express your apparent shock and outrage? Why would you get on social media telling everyone and asking others to come forward. aaaaaaand there it is. :) Answer then Muscles. You have no idea what goes on or maybe you do but are just a self righteous twat. ...

I hear Kim Duthie wants to train with St Kilda again. Yeah, but we'd have to play her on the wing - and quite frankly, there are other players, such as the speedy Brad Hill, who could easily sprint past her (just wish a few of our other players had also sprinted past her a few years ago - still boy...

Agreed. Very impressive highlights. Anyone got thoughts on what went wrong with him in 2020 I doubt anyone questions his skill and athleticism, I believe the "knock on Wood" (sorry for the dad joke) is a lack of physicality. You don't need to apologise for the Dad joke - it was a beauty -...

He was playing for North Melboune!

My apologies to all forum Kia owners if that is the way it read as it was not the intention.

Yeah! Kia owners are people too, in the same way as Collingwood, err, sorry Hawthorn supporters are!

As I offered elsewhere, Callow has signed with a SANFL Club This would indicate that no AFL Club is in negotiation with him We have Frawley as a defensive back up for Howard and Carlisle We have McKernan as back up for Ryder In terms of the other members of our back 6/7 2020 gave us Coffield, Clark...

In the age of shot clocks, was he the guy that once ran the clock down on us and then kicked a tight angle nah nah goal when time was virtually up so game already won. Anyway whoever that was I thought it just wasn't cricket and that North and its players were dislikeable - like all other sides. Sp...

No from me, sub sized KPP and has never been physical enough IMO. Competing with Membrey, Battle and Allison. I’d rather we rookie a young tall than Wood. If we are looking at a mid sized lead up forward I hear Sam Sturt is looking to come home to Melbourne next year. Yes, see, once again, you have...

Mason Wood has got some great attributes but his body has let him down, not dissimilar to Shaun Higgins & look how he's turned out. I saw Wood train yesterday and he looks in ripping shape, very determined also, trained really well. Sorry saintmike, but mentioning Higgins and Wood in the same s...

Yes! That's exactly how I see it.

Certainly wont be a rash decision, he has given plenty of time to getting right. He must be a bit sad right now, but he will make the best decision - just like he did with his wonderful forays from the last line of defence. Wonderful way to put it and perhaps your most poignant post. Couldn't agree...

Like to hear both sides of this. Seems the easy option is always blame the bloke. So you reckon he was just scratching his balls when he accidentally took a photo of his old fella and then accidentally sent to 3 women?🤔 A spider had crawled onto his penis and he was trying to brush it off. Quite vi...

Not against getting Wood as a backup to Membrey, but at some stage we have to start bringing in some youth again. This is it isn’t it Frawley McKernan Then Wood as another guy that one pbly only has a year or two Throw in some of our older players like Ryder and one can see an area of concern to wo...
