Only nth could play hipwood into form.

Oh well get it out of his system & he can go back to being ordinary next week.

North are utterly hopeless.

Lions won’t have it this easy next week. Hopefully they’ll be on comfortable terms with themselves.

Larkey should have assessed his options before re-signing with the Kangaroos. 

I admire his loyalty. To many of our players left us & it was frustrating. 

But yeah maybe he thought this season they'd be travelling better

 

None of these players kicking for goal have played enough games at Casey

Seven unforced changes for Gold Coast Suns.  I don't think Dimma was too happy with their most recent effort.

West coast: ‘We’re so bad we need priority picks’

North Melbourne: ‘Hold my beer’

great advertisement for gather round

I thought +39.5 was a good line for North. 

 

I just really hope port do a number on the bummers

Maybe he needs to stop flopping in marking contest first it embarrassing for a senior play with a side full of young kids.

I've been running the line for the last few years that Nth didn't deserve high-end priority picks but if they don't show any improvement this year, they'll need some serious help. This is a worse hole than we were in.

Priority picks that that they have to trade for players (similar to the mini-draft of GWS), increased salary cap, increased player list. They're at risk of having their young high pick midfielders not developing properly and/or leaving if they're not competitive soon.

Are you kidding?

We were so bad for so long ... lost quite a few matches by margins over 100 points. 

 

 

 

Another North handball straight to Brisbane. At least half a dozen so far.

Norf don’t have a backline. They are all HB flankers.

Nth have had plenty of drubbings too. Their percentage has been woeful for years.

If you look at the past 4 years, it's worse than any 4 year period we had during Bailey or Neild years.

Nth:
2023 - 3 wins
2022 - 2 wins
2021 -4 wins
2020 - 3 wins*(out of 17 games)

Melbourne's three year bad patch of 2012,2013 and 2014 (where signs of recovery were obvious)  yielded 4, 2 and 4 wins.  2011 had 8 wins. 2015 had 7 wins. We won 5 games in 2008 and 2009.

They've had 4 very bad years in a row. If they have another bad year (as I stated in my post) without showing obvious signs of improvement they need help. I stand by that.

They look to me a little like GWS early days. They’ve picked the best kids available over 3-4 drafts - but now have lots of mids and no structure to support it. It’s a risk, especially watching McKercher running around knowing he’ll be the first target for Tassie.
