Harley Reid will win Rising Star because the Media and so called footy experts have a raging hard on for him .... but ..... Wilson gee whiz ..... BOG today ..... 20+ and 3
I've had some care for North over the years, but these last 2-3, especially on here, are just poor-quality supporters, While I don't wish they fold, I'd be very happy to see them mired for a few more.It's interesting having a little read of the North autopsy. They are really bitter, so many bagging our club saying how s**t we are etc. At the ground there was a guy near me constantly paying out Mason Wood saying "footsteps Wood". I mean how bitter and twisted can you get?
I feel for them it must be horrible watching your team lose every week (well actually I know from experience), but also let's not become that ourselves after a few losses. Max had a s**t game, ah well let's get behind him and show some support rather than pile onto him. He will get back to his best but maybe our expectations of him are too high especially after being out for a few weeks injured. We know how good he can be.
As for those North supporters, why they feel the need to degrade us, a fellow battling club that have been to hell and back ourselves, is a pretty strange study in human behaviour. Like I said, I have some sympathy, but after reading some of the comments maybe they can get stuffed.
Seb Ross turned back the clock. Looked quicker and better.
If Arie puts in a decent game tomorrow he will debut next week.Bring Arie in and drop Bonner
No current season stats available
I went to Les Zeppelin's caberet show a few years ago; a few blue jokes, a few old classics and whole gotta sweating, he really is the fattest singer in showbiz, as advertisedYeah even though it’s North and sorry north but I feel so great after a win. What a difference it makes. I’ve dug out a bit of some frozen stuff out of the freezer and fired up Les zeppelin
I reckon its just a coping mechanism, if the AFL ever put a line through one team, the options are a short list and everyone knows both our teams would be on it. What better way to feel better than to convince yourself the other guys are a mess.As for those North supporters, why they feel the need to degrade us, a fellow battling club that have been to hell and back ourselves, is a pretty strange study in human behaviour.

Max has been a St Kilda fan his whole life.I've known many of these guys, the private school boys who always had everything go their way because they were smart or attractive or good at footy or whatever. Never facing adversity until you're 20+ and in a pressure cooker elite sports environment isn't the best for building resilience.
To play in the midfield fulltime you need to have certein, skills Mitch doesn't possess, yes one of his strengths is his physicality, but he is slow and lacks agility to be a full time midfielder. He's had a growth spurt and is as tall as RoMa and Hayes and the coaches are possibly aware he could still grow even further and as such can see what many with eyes can see...he's going to be anything but a full time midfielder, possibly not even allowed to enter the midfield unless to contest the ruck.We get bullied in the midfield all the time.
We need a contested beast in there.
We have one... but he spends very little time there.
Back him in. In a year, we'll be really glad we did.
We don't want Wilson to win the Rising Star, we need to keep him underneath the radar,
We're just too small to make a fuss about it.
This is such an underrated thing. How can we expect someone to play consistent if they have had no consistency in their availability and training?Max has been a St Kilda fan his whole life.
Pretty sure he’d have had the resilience already.
As someone posted earlier, he needs to get a consistent run of games. This in /out business is not helping.
He’ll be fine, just needs no interruptions from now on.
I’d like to bookmark the posts talking about trading him and bring them out end of next year.
You must pretty flexible ruler if Owens (191) Hayes (194) and Marshall (201) are all the same height.To play in the midfield fulltime you need to have certein, skills Mitch doesn't possess, yes one of his strengths is his physicality, but he is slow and lacks agility to be a full time midfielder.

I think he's looking like he is best suited to a forward role that roles up the ground and through the midfield which is pretty much most forward positions but here's the dilemma, he looks like an Auskicker when taking a set shot.
Contested beast yes, fulltime midfield bull No...you need certain skills to apply for that postion. Mitch got a fair bit of developing to do just to stay on an AFL field, we should let the coaches do their work with him.
maybe our expectations of him are too high especially after being out for a few weeks injured.
Just too slow and lacking agility to ever be a full time midfielder. Still probably has another growth spurt left him so will most like never be a full time mid. Just doesn't have the attributes.You must pretty flexible ruler if Owens (191) Hayes (194) and Marshall (201) are all the same height.
If you've ever watched a game where he has rucked you'll know he can win midfield clearances - full time mid maybe not just yet to to suggest he hasn't the skillset is nonsense.
On a secondary point - watching the game last night made me think - what would we be doing with Marshall if we had of snared Xerri who we chased fairly hard.
Maybe can’t adapt Lyon’s coaching?I wouldn't mind seeing the media give King a bit of a rocket this week. It's his 6th year now and he isn't taking that next step. Something has to fire him up.
When you say Media you mean The West Australian?

King has had shoulder & knee issues & no continuity? Some people being typically harsh.
Great that you got there H.Got to the game today. Might be my only one for the year.
When you say he has reached his ceiling, you mean the ceiling now when he's out of form or his best games? He has kicked 6 on multiple occasions, if that is his ceiling we'd be happy. His first two games of this season were good.Yep. We need to know what his ceiling is, if he's reached it then the honest conversations can be had with him. Not necessarily trade but possibly postion change like Ruck or CHB. Also the conversation that goes something like we can't continue on with you as number 1 key forward and have the game plan built around that.
It's time, he and the coaches are running out of wriggle room and the excuse "he's still young" has expired.
