Who gets more midfield minutes under Clarko’s watch? Howe or Greenwood?

Howe. I can't remember Clarko ever playing anyone that couldn't spread.

Neither should get afl mins

 

[Rod Stroker]

We can’t all be models like yourself.

Doesn't need to be a "model", he just needs to apply some self control. Which we know is a challenge for him

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Indeed, and when Gaff said no, we traded out for whoever most looked the part, and Jared Polec was his name. It didn't end well

Some revisionism there me thinks.

Gaff was a RFA, we already had a useless pick 11 and Preuss was already going. Our intention was to get both Gaff and Polec on opposite wings for a team playing under a dome. Polec had already committed to North when the Gaff deal fell through.

So, in off season for a team desperate in need of outside run and age bracket gap in the list, was to acquire in one off season:

Gaff
Polec
Hall
Pittard
Tyson

Thomas
Taylor
Scott

And this for a bags of coin and due to how Thomas was rated in the draft, a useless pick. We were already a basket case and this was the "fix".

Exactly, Polec was always intended to complement Gaff and then Gaff whacked Brayshaw and missed a flag. It was the Wish version of when we tried to get Dusty and Kelly in one go.

I'm sick of this perception that Brad Scott achieved preliminary finals in spite of his list.

Plenty of talent in that 2010-15 group for mine. Laidley left Scott a very decent handover list.

Nothing like the dog turd Noble copped via Scott and Shaw.

With a few worthy exceptions, it was never a premiership list to be fair but he must take full responsibility for us never seriously threatening.

He overrated the list for years and through misguided loyalty kept playing a swag of solid, competitive soldiers.

He never quite grasped the value of top end talent. He preferred to roll with it rather than shake it up. It got him and the Club in the end.

Strange considering how talented his teammates at the Lions were. That should not have been lost on him.

LDU isn't winning the Brownlow. My goodness, the degenerate gamblers on this site....

Next year will be the 40th anniversary of our last win which must be the longest drought in the AFL.

I doubt it’s changing any time soon.

I know Ross would love to hand the mantle to another North player. How nice would that be if it was to happen in 2023 given as you said it is 40 years since he won it. Unlikely yes. Would I love it to happen, absolutely.

 

[The Nostradamus]

surely they announce venue and opponent of preseason game soon

And be good if we did the intra club on a weekend to allow more supporters to come watch

We'd need to win at least eight games and then hope he is noticed and then hope he can get about 30 votes. Reckon 150-1 is about right.

It's a lazy media narrative that gets regurgitated each time Brad Scott's name is mentioned and it's flat out incorrect. Our best was easily good enough, we were just horrific at arresting momentum in games.

Look on the bright side, imagine what he'll do with the mega talented list at Essendons..

This may come as a surprise but I burn more in Melbourne than I do in Darwin.

Same. If I get burnt in Darwin it's more often than not wind.

Taylor still a rake with eyeballs, whilst Powell is looking jacked.

Even Scott looks to have added some muscle.

Phillips looks like he’s the sheriff down there
