Nuff Said

North's defenders shouldn't pose too much of a problem for Roo. Their best defender is probably Scott Thompson with Hansen as a back-up. This might be the game that ignites Roo's domination on the competition!
Lets all pray!

The funny thing is that against geelong particularly, and all season in patches, we are trying fast ball movement. We are playing on from marks and handballing off to the open players to move the ball quickly in. The problem is when we bring it up too quickly we don't play to Riewoldt's current str...

The better sides in the competition possess tall forward duos that act together giving options in the air as well as bringing the ball down for the smalls, I was just wondering about how Roo and Kosi rate against the other teams. Collingwood: Dawes and Cloke. I don't know why, but I have never and p...

When under pressure, any defensive unit could be made out to look powerless and forced into errors. That is not something we don't know already. Does anyone else wonder about what has happened to our tackles inside forward 50? In 2009, Milne, Schneids and McQualter absolutely dominated in terms of t...

Maybe we'll look back on this year in the future as the year that we began to build another premiership-contending team. Siposs looked good as did Cripps (SUPER-SUB! Imagine what he could do in full games). > The year has shown that although our development won't rival Geelong's just yet, we do have...

Positives : 1) the 110% effort put in by all (except perhaps Schneids). 2) confirmation that we need to improve our Kicking Skills FFS. :!: DID ANYONE SEE SCHENIDS GETTING SACKTAPPED? I saw him on the ground and then limping, trying to get into the 50 and compete, good effort! I thought Kosi showed...

I'm not over 2009. It burns. It burns day and night, I kept a copy of the Herald Sun from the day after and read it every now and then... I was at the game, and I think we beat Geelong in most departments of the game, contested marks was actually in our favour. But our errors costed us goals while ...

hahahaha

ditto, throw him into the forward line as a marking medium

His work ethic is incredible and he carves teams up!
I think he is JUST beaten by Roo in terms of their value

He hasnt even played the game.

At least I have heard of Stanley courtesy of the GF sprint, who is tommy walsh?

but wasn't miles placed on an extended b ench for one of the games? I think there was an article on him

United we stand

so this is how u guys rack up your thousands of posts :shock: ummmmmm jesse smith: The son of former North Melbourne defender Ross Smith, Jesse was drafted as a father-son pick in 2004. After playing six games in his first-season, Smith had an injury-plagued year in 2006 and didn’t register a seni...

Colm Begley, geeez, I reckon hes in danger
Leigh Fisher, apparently he had a great pre-season, yet he doesn't get chosen for any games at all or as an emergency
Connors has to go

All three disgruntled for seemingly different reasons. All three were/are champs. All three had different coaches and committees.
Just coincidence?

they all played at st kilda?

Gosh I dont know much about this bloke but hes left North Melbourne and he is 23. Apparently, he has elite potential and is a backman that had a breakout season in 07 before suffering injuries. Read from heraldun that some talent scout rated him very highly, comparing him to BJ. Any chance we'll pou...

oh dear, the ball saga continues, i guess all we can do now is wait,
or maybe we can ring him up and give him 20 bux from our piggy banks to make him resign (what doggie fans did to lake)

its been a long long time since i last saw x play, and the most recent memory i remember of him is when trent west took him out :( but still, if my memory isnt as shoddy as it seems, i remember him as a pacy winger, and if we so badly need pace, why is he being traded? and i rate x higher than peake...

yes but you have also got to think of the blokes that came in this year as well as previous years under lyon's trading scheme.

In: Dawson, King, Gardiner, Schneider, Ray just a few to mention

top 10 are guns, rest of the draft is a bit shallow... really i would have at least expected a low draft pick back.

How many draft picks do we have left now?

sooo disappointed when i read that, but we can't stop him if he wants it that badly. But honestly, why bother joining a team that can't play and will never play a grand final?
AND no, we do not want that hack called Fraser FFS.

i think he played against essendon, but was used mainly in the forward line, where he didnt go to well, he should be played in the midfield in bursts, similar to the GF. Except, not 46% game time, try and work that up to at least 65-70% and you will see Ball averaging 25+ possies, 6+ tackles, with ...

St Kilda is also reported to have entered the market for Port Adelaide midfielder Shaun Burgoyne. The Herald Sun reports that the Saints are said to have offered pick 16 and midfielder Luke Ball for Burgoyne in a bid to trump Hawthorn, the Power player's preferred destination. Sure Burgoyne might be...
