Was hoping for a McDonald shot after the siren there! Back to spudding it up after playing his gf against the team that snubbed him in the draft.
Also, in 2024 we can't get a TV camera to deal with stadia shadows?

Lol, thought I was in the non-north footy thread

 

[Only Forwards]

Well, you can, but it won’t be the same game anymore

A while back this popped into my you tube feed

There just isn’t the same game it just continually evolves.

It’s funny though watching this game, so many missed targets, by hand and foot. But the game flowed and was up and back a lot with 1:1s all over the ground.

I could only imagine what BigFooty woulda been like back then.

The collective would have hated Mick Martyn.

Kingy; "this weekend the frauds were found out... Essendon!"

LOL!

Nine things we learned: Young Hawk can handle the heat

A young Hawk can handle the pressure, a Lion is a premiership wildcard, plus more round 19 lessons

8) North has a team for the future – the near future​

When North Melbourne went into its round 12 bye it was sitting winless on the bottom of the ladder with a percentage of 55. While the Roos may have only moved up one spot, they have either won or been well in the contest every game since, bar Sydney in round 18. The side that fought bravely but fell short of Carlton on Sunday had 16 players 25 or younger who are starting to gel with each other in a formidable way. Undeniably with some of the best young talent at his disposal, Alastair Clarkson's side could be ready to shake the cellar dweller tag sooner rather than later. - Howard Kimber

I... can't agree with that. It got us Colbert who was hot property at the time and gave us many years of good service.

Charlie pulls top-two Blues through Roos challenge

After successive losses Carlton returned to the winners list with a hard-fought win against North Melbourne

www.afl.com.au

The signs are pointing up for North
They may not have got the win but the Kangaroos didn't lose any fans on Sunday, continuing a second half of the season that has seen their competitiveness crank up severely. North led Carlton in disposals, marks, inside 50s and clearances - everywhere but the scoreboard - suggesting it is just a lack of finesse and experience that is costing them the premiership points. With Alastair Clarkson at the wheel the talented youngsters are a lot less likely to jump ship as they may have in the past, pointing to a change of fortunes at Arden Street ... at last.

There always has to be at least one insult ... grrr

I read it as young players are more likely to stay with the team playing like this. Seems unarguable as a theory. I know Sheez and Larkey and Jy signed on when we were utter rubbish, but generally I think it’s a fair generalisation.

"as they may have" insinuating the the present conditions are less conducive. not necessarily suggesting an historic pattern.

theoretically we have lost a lot of top end talent when you tally up all the nicknames old mate has,

in a single trade we lost,
-no chase jase,
-corn frances,
-mummys boy
-fabian Jr
-horney
-hornet
-JHF

sorta reads like a mock melbourne cup field.

There's been no trend or otherwise of anyone leaving apart from no chase, anyone who's anybody has either signed long term or indicated they will...just seemed like an odd comment to make based on absolutely nothing.

Malthouse vs Kane on abc is pretty handy listening.

Laura Kane: Players can evolve, my job is to make the game safe. - ABC listen

Laura Kane, the AFL Executive General Manager, joined Corbin Middlemas, Kelli Underwood, Cameron Ling and Mick Malthouse on Friday night Footy.

Their metrics are wrong. Some campaigners can be hit on the head with a balloon and get a concussion. Andrew Brayshaw was knocked when a team mate handballed a footy to his bonce. Cant work like that

 

[DuckYeah]

They already take plenty of risks though. There's nothing wrong with trying to lessen the risks when it comes to the head, especially as the majority of players don't have long, lucrative careers.

Then dont play. If you dont want the risk associated playing a contact sport, go play soccer

Isn't there a risk of a mild concussion every time they head the ball?

Lol I know you're not this simple
