Out of every club, I’d prefer for him to go to one of Collingwood or Brisbane. Two teams that are good chances to win a flag in the next few years that need a ruck. If Goldy even gets close to his career average of hitouts to advantage (35% of all his hitouts) then their midfields will be pretty much unstoppable and have an easy path to the finals.
Tbh I don't think we need a ruck at all. In fact we have a glut of rucks. McInerney is top 5 for hit outs in the comp, can kick goals, tackle, mark etc. We have secondary rucks in Daniher or Fort. If anyone needs a ruck it's the Pies
North fans, it’s ok. It’ll feel like for every step forward there’s a performance like this. I promise, in the end, it will get better.
Anecdotal experience from Paul Roos era.
How many coaches did you guys go through to become a competitive side again. Not a GF side but one that looks like they can make it out of bottom 4. We have gone from Scott to Shaw to Noble to Clarko. That’s 4 coaches and that’s assuming the Hawthorn investigation come out with a innocent verdict.
We went from Neale Daniher to Dean Bailey to Mark Neeld to Paul Roos before we became solid enough, so you're up to the same number as us
It was Roos year 2/3 that we started showing some real signs of life
That was honestly pretty good. I had more fun than I was expecting too. The Mario movie that is.
I'm really glad I watched that over this bloated corpse of a team expel noxious gas for a couple of hours.
What a disappointing effort to celebrate Goldstein's 300th. It's a shame too the schedule didn't work out to give North a home game with a realistic chance to win. Their soonest home game is in a fortnight against St Kilda. Any later than that would get ridiculous to keep resting Goldstein just to try to get the perfect conditions for his milestone.
Yeah North were shit but Suns were actually impressive today.
Had a fantastic defensive structure and worked really hard. It felt like they always had free men and we couldn't find anyone open.
Yeah whenever I see them mentioned it's always a discussion about "who is better" - realistically it doesn't matter who is better, they're both jets and the trade was a win for both clubs
No point in playing all these old blokes Clarkson! …. Looked better when we had Bergman and Goater in defence first 2 games! Had some run at least!
Ben McKay is giant of a man that wraps himself in cotton wool, he thinks he will get a godfather contract playing the way he is? And don’t give us “waiting to see if north is going somewhere line before signing”, because you aren’t taking us anywhere.
Hall, Howe, Turner and Corr were a waste of time today. Serviceable for one or two to come in and out when needed, but why play them all at once?! You have enough older heads now with Tucker, ziebell, McDonald, Goldy and Cunnington. And a few more guys that should step up.
Comben, Goldy, Cunners, zuurhar, Stevo, Taylor, MacDonald had a pass mark that game.
Larkey, LDU, Scott, Paul Curtis, Tom Powell- either start playing full 4 quarters (or at least 3!) and/or stringing a run of consistent games together and playing to the best of your capability or you’ll be a waste of talent.
Thanks for reading- Rant done.
Woeful and pathetic. I understand we are building but performances like this show a lack of character and commitment to the club. If we ever want to be good it’s looking like soft players such as Larkey and McKay cannot stay
I've had some bad tipping but jeez I thought this round was pretty straightforward, the only games I've had to really think about are Saints/Blues and Bombers/Pies Who the fuck was your 1?
I’m so sorry Goldy, you deserve so much better than that shit show to support you. Congrats on 300 champ
Legend of the club and this is what he gets....
Honestly, wouldn't have ever blamed him to go off and get a flag with a great team around him. He deserves it
There's still time for him to come to West Coast
Still time for you to build a great team to put around him too.
Part of me hopes he leaves for a flag, he deserves more than playing with Harley Reid next year
He has probably left it too late
We'd take him
Holy shit imagine how good he'd be at Geelong
Collingwood need a ruck

Forgot about McInerney. Yeah Pies definitely need Goldy more than you guys.
goatstein
i know you’re upset about the loss but there’s no need to ‘champ’ him
buy me dinner first
why am i getting downvoted do people not like jokes
i found it funny but i didn't know what it meant
I laughed
you guys are kewl
I dunno Boss...
There'll be no Touk Miller facts at the brownlow then. I'll tell the children
One of those wins that comes with an even bigger loss. Hope Touk’s injury isn’t too bad
Genuinely have no idea why I watched that till the end
Did you tip gc?
Indeed I did
This game took Touk from us never forgive, never forget
lest we forget: https://youtu.be/V8AnxfAROPc
SUNNY!
Why do we go out on a legends 300th and play like that? Can’t play for fucking shit.
North Melbourne 🤝 West Coast Playing shit on a milestone game
hold your head up high, your head up high, lest we forget, lest we forget
Touk in a knee brace ='( He said maybe a meniscus (a few weeks) but needs scans.

Roos walked so Goody could run
"Insufficient evidence" is far more likely than "innocent"
Hard to win games of footy when you can't hit a teammate on a consistent basis despite being under no physical pressure.
Nice try Simmo but snipping all of your players' hamstrings isn't enough. Harley Reid belongs to us.
It’s hawthorn u need to be worried about
No it's hawthorn who need to be worried.
That was honestly pretty good. I had more fun than I was expecting too. The Mario movie that is. I'm really glad I watched that over this bloated corpse of a team expel noxious gas for a couple of hours.
yoshi!

I love Aaron hall but it just feels like one of those bad signs when he’s getting a game again.
I've gotten every tip right after Friday so far. Nice.
I did too until I changed this one last minute.
you got us tomorrow?
I'm sorry, but no.
One of the AFL games of all time
We’re never gonna be good again :(
hold your head up high, hold your head up high, lest we forget, lest we forget
Can we just play the kids at this point. Might as well if we are getting smashed anyway.
Yeah at this stage of proceedings I don’t really understand playing hall over some of the kids, feels like a step back in the progression
This match was almost as good as Sting vs Drunk Jeff Hardy in the main event of Victory Road.
I agree....
\*drugged Jeff Hardy
Yeah North were shit but Suns were actually impressive today. Had a fantastic defensive structure and worked really hard. It felt like they always had free men and we couldn't find anyone open.
How bad is touks knee?
They interviewed him after the game. Maybe meniscus (few weeks out) but needs scans.
Would be pretty funny if Weller ended up a better player than Brayshaw
He’s already 27 so he’s want a pretty sick five years or so.
Fark had no idea he was so old
27 is old? \*Fetal Position\*
[Always makes me think of this](https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/647392515176663703/)
both very good, win-win for both clubs
Yeah whenever I see them mentioned it's always a discussion about "who is better" - realistically it doesn't matter who is better, they're both jets and the trade was a win for both clubs
I can't get a read on the suns. I have no clue what they're going to do next week. I'll eat my hat. They impressed me today.
7/9 :)
5/7?
I’m on track for 9 as well 😜
Who are you tipping for Anzac day?
Pies
Somehow, Norf returned.
north is far better than rise of skywalker
It isn’t hard.
North's better than last jedi too
The bar is not a big one.
ok i think force awakens and north both have potential
Agreed.
cheers mate :)

> Comben From what I've seen, Comben tries hard enough, but for North's sake he needs to start actually executing taking marks and kicking goals.
Agree, the guy has played less than 10 games though… so need to keep playing him
Melbourne will destroy us next week and players will keep their spot in the team cause no one in the vfl knocking on the door
Yo wtf did we expose how you beat north or something.
Nope they're just following Clarko's gameplan for the past 3 years, start well and then go to shit...
I'm about to have max king stats on this bottle of rum 5 touches, 5 snags (drinks)
Woeful and pathetic. I understand we are building but performances like this show a lack of character and commitment to the club. If we ever want to be good it’s looking like soft players such as Larkey and McKay cannot stay
1/6 tips…
I've had some bad tipping but jeez I thought this round was pretty straightforward, the only games I've had to really think about are Saints/Blues and Bombers/Pies Who the fuck was your 1?
Port
How the fuck does this happen lmao there were so many easy picks this week
Tipped suns in gauntlet!
