Re: North Melbourne
Spot on NBP. The only difference is that North are debt free with a decent membership base behind it. Fitzroy was struggling for members and managing their finances.
Regarding the local Tasmanian competition they need to get it up to 10 teams and the AFL would need to invest around 1.3M per year for a few seasons to strengthen the competition.

Re: North Melbourne
IF ...
Peter Hudson himself once kicked 150 goals in a season ...
THEN ...
the North Melbourne Football Club still needs another 32 this year from the remaining seven games to equal him. Just think about that.
More of an In Bruges guy?

We all know it's not just the coach but it all depends on how they measure success to see who stays or goes.
You would imagine Amarfio goes at the end of the season.
You have to wonder about Rawlings and McPherson.
Is Adams over Blakey an interesting selection?

Poor bugger never stood a chance.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Maybe the players knew an announcement was coming? He’d clearly lost the group a while ago, was just a matter time.

Shame they put in the required effort when the horse has bolted. Jeemak might be onto something.
It is a big part of the coaches job though to motivate the group collectively and individually.

Tough ask to beat Richmond but don’t be surprised if they get that dead cat bounce this week.

Re: North Melbourne
Noble seems the type that like discipline and order. He had a game style he wanted to deliver and wasn’t afraid to drop those not willing to put in the hard yards, particularly Thomas and Horne- Francis. Guys like Goldstein would love this, but any prima donnas within that club wouldn’t have and that would’ve been a bridge between coach and players , especially with a young group.
He was never going to be successful. I feel sorry for him.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Not surprising.
Not sure he handled the group all that well, even if the list itself is awful.

Re: North Melbourne
North are really pushing to get a priority pick and while I know a lot of this is of their own doing I think they're likely to get one.
