North to go winless in 2024?

[Taper]

After seeing a thread asking if we can go undefeated and the TAB offering $7 odds for North to go winless, I thought it'd be worthy of asking the question on here.

Do you think North will go winless?
I think they're a chance with the way they're playing, but if they recruit a KPD in the mid season draft I can see them snagging 2-3 wins in the back end of the season.

North play the Crows this week in Tassie.

Even the crappiest of the crap teams over the last 20 years always manage to pinch one win at some point of the season. Even GWS managed it in their very first season, and Melbourne did as well in 2012 (i think) when they were super bad. North will win a game at some point.

This is essentially a North v Richmond thread.

It will come down to that game.

Geez even a 1996 Fitzroy side won one game.

GWS and Melbourne got to pinch wins off each other, as they were equally as bad back then.
Ditto North and West Coast the last two years.

North showed they're a fair way behind Hawthorn last week, and with West Coast on the rise who do North pinch a win off?

There are a few sides out there capable of having absolute shockers

Bulldogs, Saints, Dockers to name a few

I'd give them a chance v Adelaide this weekend

No way they're going winless

They need a KPD badly to help stem opposition scoring, a mature player from the mid season draft.
Someone from the GFL maybe, like Cam Delaney.

Comben was going ok there, Clarkson should have left him there last week

Yeah agree it's their biggest hole, glaring

No shortage of young talent though who've only played a handful of games

I think they'll beat Adelaide, if not later in the season when they improve. They're still a very young squad

 

[Osho]

North vs. Richmond game will be decisive. Big opp for North. 1974 GF revenge upcoming!

What is the longest it has taken a team to get a single win? I feel like I remember Freo or Collingwood go half the season at one point around late 90/early 00

 

[InternetToughGuy]

They'll snag a win or 2 for sure.
I think everyone is overrating West Coast. They've played 2 good weeks of football. Later in the season, I imagine North hosting WCE will be a genuine 50/50.

 

[kaiserchief13]

They probably have 4 chances - Suns and Eagles at home and Richmond and Hawthorn

Fremantle lost the first 17 games of the 2001 season.

 

[JUSTWORK]

I think they'll finish last but i recon they pinch a win somewhere.

Richmond will thump North Melbourne

Only if we can field a a side..

Tex to kick 10 against the motley collection of players North have hang around in the backline.

 

[RUNVS]

The team that lost to the bye managed to win a few games, so North can too

 

[CrowToon]

They will smash Nicks the Fraud

Well he certainly makes Nero seem levelheaded

Nah, they’ll win a game.

It’s a long season, teams will tire and/or get complacent as the season rolls on.

I reckon you can definitely make an argument that the spoon is theirs, though.
It’s hard to see them winning at least two that they’ll need to avoid it.
