I wanted G Coast to win as well - King, Jeffrey, Anderson, Clohesy, Swallow, Miller

Free kicks 13 - 20 helps, typical for NM

I tend to agree our players are lacking enthusiasm and spirit, I'm hoping with Max King out the chemistry of the forward line improves and the players find some zip and chaos and even enjoy kicking some goals.

And with only about 5k at the game today our players will need to find a way to create their own atmosphere.
You're after a reaction ...yes?...What do they call that?

I wonder if Jeffrey is son or nephew of Russell Jeffrey who played for us for about 60 games or so

Typing on phone.
Of course I meant Joel Jeffrey 🤣

I googled him and found out Russell the dad coached an NT side that won 4 flags.
Joel was put in one cup as a baby after the Grand Final 😂 #baptism

What's the point of such a silly observation. North beating Suns trumps us beating Swans? So there?
No comprende.

I could reel of 10 under 50 games guns they have!

And Larkey and LDU

They would have the best u23 team in the AFL

They will do a Hawthorn next season

Have they gone past us or do they have the potential to go past us?

Their last month has been very good. Could’ve easily won 4 straight if not for inexperience

As Joey said last night

They are off the bottom of the ladder and won’t be there again for ten years

The AFL has manufactured this outcome.

Totally over the top. They should never have been given concessions in the 2023 draft and if they are given any more assistance like being handed the NT for development as was reported last week, I will projectile 🤮

They could have had JHF and Harley Reid too.
What North did was not unlike what we did over ten years ago. I think their issue may be player retention though.
I think we are on the right track now finally after stuffing up our draft picks and topping up.
Remember that there is still talk of Zurhaar leaving them and maybe LDU so it might be a little bit premature to talk of them staying off the bottom of the ladder. There are also unforseen circumstances such as injuries to key players, lots of things.
Many experts predicted North to win 5-6 matches this year and for the Hawks to finish below them. That now looks very unlikely.

LDU is odds on to stay and will most likely resign

Zurhaar is an inconsistent and erratic player

Fair enough. Since we beat them by 6 goals they have beaten West Coast who are formidable everywhere and Gold Coast who are formidable away from home. So they have definitely gone past us.

Aren’t they the teams we beat?

They have been seriously competitive for a month now

Sheezal, Wardlaw, LDU, McKercher (this week) Phillips, Xerri, Larkey, Zurhaar - have been massive

I didn't see them beat Sydney. Maybe I just missed that one.

Great weekend for me as both my and the missus' teams win and The Filth and the Brown Baggers lose.

Pity the druggies had to get a win though.
