Our Christmas Wish List according to Fox Footy

NORTH MELBOURNE
A year of clear air... and some wins
Things seemed so bright after two rounds, with Alastair Clarkson 2-0 to begin his return stint at Arden Street, before things fell apart on and off the field. Clarkson was forced into a mental health break amid the fallout from his time at Hawthorn, leaving Brett Ratten in charge, meaning the Roos barely got that valuable first year of development under the master coach - instead just losing 20 games in a row and gaining not a whole lot. At least some of their promising kids got more game time but ideally it would’ve been under Clarkson specifically. So while they’d love to bag a few more victories to avoid a fifth consecutive bottom-two finish, 2024 will be another year about the future - which means just spending time under the boss.

So our wish list for 2024 is simply for the group to play under the same head coach for a season? I know the bar is set pretty low for our side but jeez…
 
How about a complete absence of drama impacting the club? TT, JHF, Hawthorn. Been a nightmare.
Or LDU and Simpkin, the leaders of our young midfield, not copping alternating injuries every month?
Or our two mature aged ruck candidates, how about they stay healthy now that Goldy has moved on?

But nah. Lets just play some footy.

It's just lazy journalism.

2023 - Clarkson, Ratten, Clarkson
2022 - Noble, Adams
2021 - Noble
2020 - Shaw
2019 - Scott, Shaw

In all honesty, an uneventful year would be kinda nice.
