    Pretty sure that's why people were avoiding the comparison.

    Player Watch #22: Taylor Goad - #20 in '23 ND - the Unicorn

    There's an obvious athletic profile comparison that everyone seems reluctant to make: Tim English. I don't know what he's been like recently, but he had a purple patch a while ago where commentators were saying he was the best ruck in the game.

    Player Watch #22: Taylor Goad - #20 in '23 ND - the Unicorn

    I was thinking less drooling, less shedding. Still have to watch for hip dysplasia. If he was built like a Newfy, DuckYeah wouldn't be complaining. They are heckin strongly constructed under all that fur.

    He's not a Newfy. More like an Irish Wolfhound or a Great Dane.

    Analysis [Poll] 2025 Captain + Leadership Group

    The captain is picked in the off season. Jy always presents in great nick and trains the house down (confirmed by FOS, I think, in an interview). That's important but doesn't necessarily translate to being the best leader within games.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    Flynn Perez was the ratio champ. Posters would gush about photos of him every pre-season. Then you see him next other players. Not that he was small, just normal.

    Player Watch #28: Jack Darling - has officially been traded to NM from WCE in exchange for #67 - welcome Jack

    He doesn't have to kick 40 goals to be a success. Hopefully he can help with the forward line's spacing and movement and we score more as a result.

    Player Watch #29: Will Phillips [Part II] - Extends to End of 2025

    I agree with you on this one. Taggers need enough size, enough pace and a huge tank. That's not Will and not what we should be aiming for him to be. He needs to develop his fitness enough so he can get to contests, be strong over the ball and use his smarts and disposal. Yes, he can be the...

    Player Watch #26: Luke Parker - Welcome to North Melbourne - Konstanty and Parker traded for Pick 44

    He thought the team sheet looked great - just as professional as other clubs. Nice colour scheme. Particularly impressed by the font.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    I suspect you have more background on this than I do, but that could just be running on sloping ground along the boundary. It may also just be momentary. I read, a while back, an article that mentioned that Olympic 10km runners had different strike patterns and that some changed within longer...

    Player Watch #29: Will Phillips [Part II] - Extends to End of 2025

    It is pretty tiresome and I hope that Will makes it, but I agree that comparing him to LDU is a bit daft, as they are obviously different types of player, and that he shouldn't be a tagger in the longer term. He did pretty well at it this year, but it doesn't utilise his strengths and he doesn't...

    That's great going. I'd love to do some speed training again. Just need to find an achilles tendon donor. Must be very hard to manually time it accurately?

    Player Watch #32: Toby Pink - has been selected with #1 in the RD - Welcome Back, Pinky

    That's the point, innit? Regardless of what you think of him as a player, if we brought him over from SA and shafted him on his contract, our rep would go down the toilet. Who would take a chance on us in the future?

    We're currently paying sh!thouse-tax on our trades. He can help us improve in the short term. Then we will hopefully stop having pay overs for anyone who wants to come.

    Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Welcome FOS, M.Whitlock, L.Urquhart & River Stevens

    Disagree. Clubs do draft night trades based on where they rate players. The club rated Matt in the top 15. If they'd traded the F1 for 10 -15 to pick him, they wouldn't have gotten the F2, which they may be able to use to get back into R2 this year. My first reaction was that it was horrendous...

    This will probably have been posted already, but Daniel's value is not just his playing ability. I'm sure they wanted to bring in leadership in a range of ages, as well as field positions. Parker and Darling will be retired or having limited ground time in a couple of years.
