I wish him luck. He'll need it. North are a basket case.

The AFL is a copycat league, after Clarkson success, every club wanted a inexperienced Young coach to get the job, now with Fagan having success with Brisbane,  every club is going to look for a Fagan type coach like noble, that is going to be the trend in the AFL.

    True but I think Shaw was a young inexperienced coach and he was appointed after Fagan started having success with Brisbane.

    Talking of Fagan I’m not sure we can say he’s been a complete success just yet. I think Brisbane are still a ways off winning a flag. They had all the advantages this year and were still pumped in the prelim. They were knocked out in straight sets last year. Daniher is far from a certainty to stay fit so I’m not sure using Fagan as a successful example is true. Might be in the future but not yet.

    there's a good chance daniher could be a bit of a destabilising agent if he he only gets on the park occasionally which is likely

    Looks like Roos will be wearing blue and white.  ? .  He will be mentoring Noble for a year.

    The North president has certainly got in early with the blow torch on Noble; wanting top 4 finish in the next 2 - 3 years and contending for a flag. 

    noble-embraces-north-top-four-plan

    No chance.

    imv that is not helpful from a president.  Let the dust settle.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
