Spot on!!
Would give us five marking options on the forward line.

Another shit show like last week…apart from Riddles. Without him and Redman were would have lost.
Big shoutout to Hynd in the last quarter and the skipper all game.

I remember Watson as a 15yo getting the #32. "He'd better be a good player, he's got a lot to live up to!" Is that what you said? I said something similar about Terry Daniher. The day he retired, I said to my mate… “it’ll be a very long time before we see someone wear the No.5 with such d...

The half backline of Davis, Shelton and Epis was as good as it gets.

A truly superb, fair player who was immensely talented.

One of the best exponent of the drop kick you would ever wish to see.

Extremely sad that he has passed.

Absolute shit show!! We made so many mistakes a turnovers but the only saving grace was they made more. On at least 6 occasions we hand balled to the opposition, several of which, resulted in goals. Appalling umpiring did not help but was not an excuse from our side. Bring that game to the “G” next ...

5 - N. Martin
4 - K. Langford (matchwinners)
3 - Z. Merrett
2 - M. Guelfi (matchwinners)
1 - Durham

North have won 5 games in the last 2 and a bit seasons. :shock: McKay and Goldie have been in 6 winning games this season. :D Despite their crapness, the 'roos scared us last year. We must bury them this year. These are the games where we measure our ‘maturity’. Too many times before we have shown ...

That was a staggering win. We had no effective forward line to speak of apart from Langers,,yet our ferocious tackling kept us in the game. Merret and Martin, together with a with Langford were simply superb. Guelfi is so underrated. But he goes as hard as Durham. Just walking out of the ground and ...

I dare not even think about that.
In reflection, that 2 points could be very handy given our shit percentage.

Was that during the game or, God forgive, training

HR Stats. 5 kicks 2 clearances. I don’t think we even tagged him!!?

Don’t want to break up the gang!! Coach reckons Caldwell will be OK.

Flog in the Herald have Dasher the top vote. He had a great game but not in Zerrett’s league. Plus he kicked 3!!
I reckon some of these pricks don’t even attend the games they are reporting.

I hate these games. Expectation to win but we have been known to drop these games or scrape home by a couple of goals. To butter the Toast by around six goals would be a pass mark in my book.

The last time I recall a discussion around this topic was whether to play Hurls back or forward. To my mind, anyone who could kick a 50m goal on his non preferred is wasted on the backline. Martin is one of those elite players that come along once in a decade if you are lucky. He would shine no matt...

What worried me the most was that he pulled out of a marking duel at a crucial part of the game.
If you really want to piss the coach off at any level of footy, this is best way of doing it.

The AFL invokes the “Turnstile” rule when assessing penalties. Above all else is the consideration “Is it going to affect the gate??? In fact, this consideration is at the heart of every decision the AFL makes. The Tribunal has been a joke for decades with the iron claw of the AFL influencing every ...

We have been crying out for tall players for several seasons.
I would keep the big lug in, as, like Andy Phillips, he can get in the road, spoil, and bring the ball to ground.
Like Dasher, he is struggling for form, but seriously, I cannot see him getting dropped.
