North missed a golden opportunity here.
Should have ran a competition, send in a chip wrapper with your name and address to be in with a chance to coach AFL team Noth Kangaroos this weekend.

Jon Ralph article in the HUN saying that when Rhyce Shaw takes over this week he,ll play the kids.

Article also states that North want more picks in this years draft.

So by assumption they don’t want to win too many more games this season.

I don't understand why the media is not all over Scott for his sniper "fake" elbow on King in his last game; plus his comments about King after the game. You can guarantee that if it was Clarkson or Hardwick they'd be having a field day that would go on for longer than a day. So a field week. (Ref: Hardwick and the nuffy Port supporter; Clarkson and the idiot drunks in Adelaide)

My opinion is that Scott should be sanctioned (verbally with suspended fine) by the AFL for his action and for his words afterwards.

There is no place for violence in any section of the game and his actions and words afterwards were rude, incorrect, self-serving and unwarranted.

AFL won't do anything, of course.

It pretty much has to happen, some of the older blokes have blown their chances these past ten weeks.

Like when Jade Rawlings took over at Richmond in 2009, and our age dropped from 24.48 to 22.77 - the third biggest week-to-week drop in club history. North is considerably older at 25.88 for the season and need to rule a line.

We don't really need forwards but Mason Wood & Zurhaar have talent.

Touch wood, but this looks to be timed perfectly for us. They had their 'for the coach' win on the weekend, and will now bring in kids against our better kids. I expect a spirited display from them, no doubt with their usual dollop of umpire assistance, but we should win comfortably.

They dont need to, cause all of us with a brain would just tune out.

we all saw and heard it,

and it consummated our belief

that he's a total self-absorbed *smile* head, with a bad case

of premature irrelevance syndrome.

I am saying prayers someone is dumb enough to give the underachieving *smile* a coaching gig.

can you imagine having to listen to his first person commentary?

We play that ground like *smile*, so any favours north does of playing kids, will do me.
We need a win and get out of there.

Can never have enough midgets

If we’re talking about the midget Harvey - BRETT doesn’t sound like the actual name I remember being mostly yelled out by opposition fans

Seem to recall that name finished with NT

Agree

What was the outcome from when Scott kicked the security guy in Hobart? The guard pressed charges, or at least was going to.

Just had a look at their stats from the game v Bullodgs..Higgins, Goldsten and cunnington were the highest possie winners. Next were Dumont and Wood, followed by Polec and Atley.

Of that lot maybe Dumont and Atley would be worth a look. The rest are "meh"..The other who may be worth it also is Jamie Mcmillan...

But looking at that list they will struggle for a while yet..

Hope you’re right TF,I remember we’ve struggled in the past with North under the roof.

Still, half our sides never even played North,so should hold no fears.

A % booster would be nice & no more injuries even nicer.
