Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Schache is a player, Gowers up the ground really works, Crozier is blooming, Naughton could be a full forward.
2. I like the effort we brung tonight.
3. Honourable losses are an improvement. But they're losses, especially when he choke with 46 seconds to go.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Bevo swung some really interesting changes tonight and most of them worked. Full credit.
2. Crozier is an excellent pick for not much at the trade table.
3. Marcus Adams could be amazing if he manages to stay on the paddock. Loved his intercept work tonight.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1.Dale Morris would make a great Captain for the rest of the season.
2.Billy Gowers proved the doubters on here wrong.
3. Marcus Adams makes a big difference to this team.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. I believed it, but tonight showed Bevo's versatility mantra can work.
2. Any of Hunter, JJ or Dahlhaus are tradeable.
3. We can get something out of the season.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Crozier is making a few on here eat their words . Few judged a little .
2. Norf’s kick it to Brown at all times isn’t sustainable.
3. Better and more consistent effort tonight

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Hayden Crozier bakes a decent humble pie. An extra large slice for me please.
2. Billy Gowers could be the steal of the rookie draft.
3. Our killer instinct is completely non-existent at the moment.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

I was wrong about Crozier.
Our mid-field is not firing
Tom Campbell should have played tonight.

[BulldogBelle]

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. We don't have to play Honeychurch or Jong any more as Porter or Greene should have a go.
2. Crozier has grown an extra leg. I wonder if he is on those Indian gooseberries (amla).
3. Gowers didn't do so many stupid things tonight and his team value was immense.

[SlimPickens]

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Dunkley isn’t a negator.
2. We will win 3-4 more on the run home.
3. We have player with Naughton. Future is bright

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1.Marcus Adams is so important to us 2.Billy Gowers keeps getting better and better 3 Higgins is still a flog

[The Pie Man]

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. Makeshift forward line could be worth persevering with. Naughton’s contested marking very promising & Cordy still presents well like he did in 2016.

2. Adams looks so important - Honeychurch not so much (& I’ve been a fan at different stages - not any more)

3. Bevo can get very angry. Will be fascinating to see how the group responds to the quite pointed spray in the rooms.

It makes sense for us to play defenders up forward seeing that we kick to the opposition more than us

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. I put my hand up as well and say I was wrong about Crozier. He showed enough in the last few weeks especially last night to warrant his place in our 22.

2. Gowers will be a headache for opposition sides for years to come. As his fitness has improved so has he. He works hard to get to good spots and can take a grab. He has a bit of mongrel in him too. He was BOG last night.

3. Boyd's grab in the forward line and his inability to run with Goldy all game screams that he should not be our number one ruckman but instead our FF. I see it, you see it, blind Freddy can see it so why doesn't our MC see it.

3.1. Schache up the ground was very pleasing. His aerial ability is getting stronger but it's his precise field kicking that is refreshing. That perfectly weighted kick to Gowers that should of won the game was a beauty. Hunter and Dahl take note.

Re: Three things I've learned, edition XIV, V North Melbourne.

1. We all questioned why we brought in Morris, Adams and Naughton, yet the MC did a Sheedy
- forwards back and backs forward

2. I learnt many WOOFERS write off players before the golden rule - wait till a player has had 20 games before writing them off.

3. 4 umpires adds to the confusion and there were many mistakes last night with umpires clashing with decisions
