1 goal a game Carlisle?
Boomer is an upgrade on Greenwood.
No matter which way you spin it, bringing in Higgins and losing greenwood is a significant net loss. Pretty poor by north.

1 goal a game Carlisle?
Boomer is an upgrade on Greenwood.
Wingard and first?
True but taking blokes on their last legs is a MASSIVE risk, especially when we have seen players go downhill very quickly when they reach 30 odd, not everyone is Harvey.
Don't buy this Higgins in greenwood out loss.
Fact is if Higgins stays fit North are comfortably up .
Much better than Greenwood,more what North needs and only a year older.
Greenwoods not much.
That's why one is an inside mid and the other is an outside mid.

What do you guys think cooneys worth
Second or third round pick ??
Be careful posting the truth around these parts.
I had a look at Higgins over the last 5 or so seasons has played 97 of 132 games. Granted he only played 3 in 2013.
Apart from that he's played enough.
North as a collective were a fair way off the best when push came to shove and I can't see Cooney, Waite and Higgins being the guys to elevate them to Preniership threats. The only way the Kangas can genuinely threaten is for a few youngsters to be bolters and become elite, guys like McDonald, Brown and Atley have to be game breakers otherwise they will just be making up the numbers.
We know what were gonna get out of Wells, Boomer, Petrie, Swallow, DelSanto and it's not good enough for a flag so the improvement needs to come from elsewhere. They have a solid nucleas of core players but just not the cutting edge to take the next step, also maybe it's a coaching thing? Brad Scott doesn't come across as the most intelligent guy from the outside looking in, but I can't really judge tbh.
Essendon supporters and going backward is so funny to every one.No matter which way you spin it, bringing in Higgins and losing greenwood is a significant net loss. Pretty poor by north.
This is a decent post. We finished top 4 but I think we are a long way behind the best in the comp. I am happy we are rolling the dice to maybe push for something special. Staying middle of the rung will get us middle of rung of result if we don't roll the dice. If it fails then who cares. I am happy to have a dip than staying mediocre. My prediction is we will fall short with the players we brought in. End of the day we are not Essendon. That is a massive win.North as a collective were a fair way off the best when push came to shove and I can't see Cooney, Waite and Higgins being the guys to elevate them to Preniership threats.

You won't find a North fan who thinks if we are contenders next year, it will be because of Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins etc.
It all depends on the 50-100 game bracket (Black, Cunnington, Atley, Ziebell, Bastinac, MacMillan, Wright) and if they continue to improve, whether we can get the likes of Tarrant and Delaney on the park consistently and whether Brown, Turner, McDonald, Wood, Dumont and Garner make an impact/continue to make an impact.
The theory that North are simply "topping up" and "need to win it in the next year or two before it all goes downhill" is lazy, narrow-minded, media-driven rubbish. Adding experience without giving up draft picks is good list management.
Our list is in fantastic shape.
Well, we are just looking at him physically to see where his knee is at, he feels it has been pretty good and better than he has felt in a long time, if he doesn't cost much then he would be vastly superior to our worst midfielder in our best 22.

Carlilse feasts on the roos by kicking 2 points??? He is a worse forward than concreate hands Hurley.Carlisle and Daniher feast on North. Also Carlisle can go down back to take Brown while Hurley sticks with Black next time.
Also perhaps we'll have Dempsey on the ground from the start this time!! I would like him to run with Wells, who cuts up our one pace midfield.
Either way apart from your close losses in 13 and our in 14 both teams are looking ok for next year.
Boomer was on peptides doesn't countCarlilse feasts on the roos by kicking 2 points??? He is a worse forward than concreate hands Hurley.
Remember when boomer kicked 3 goals in 1 minute and 15 seconds v Essendon? Now that was a feast.
Contracted players - Age Round 1, 2015
30+: Harvey, Petrie, Waite, Firrito, Dal Santo, Wells
27-29: Grima, Thompson, Gibson, McMahon, Swallow, Thomas, Higgins, (Cooney)
24-26: Adams, Goldstein, Hansen, Tippett*, Currie, Tarrant, Wright, Black, Ziebell, Daw, (Greenwood)
21-23: Bastinac, Cunnington, Macmillan, Jacobs, Mullett, Harper, Delaney, Atley, Brown, McKenzie, Wood, Garner
18-20: McDonald, Dumont, Turner*
* Rookies
Likely delisted: Anthony (27), Nahas (27), Hine (23), Curran (21), Wilkins (20)
If we do trade Cooney for a 4th round pick as reported, that leaves us taking Rounds 1-3 picks to the ND for the 7th year in a row adding three players to the 18-20 bracket.
Like I said, dont add Cooney until is confirmed as a North player and has completed a season like NDS. Waite won't be in North's best 22, he will have to earn it.
