North Melbourne has re-signed coach Brad Scott, stars Daniel Wells and Jack Ziebell until the end of 2016.

Everything going too well for my liking at Arden St, not used to it!

Brad Scott on 5AA tonight was brilliant, no better man to steer us to flag No. 5

What about Chris Scott?

definitely an even money bet to finish 9th..

very disappointing start to the year
alot of players down but to be honest thought we lost it in the coaches box
some strange tacktics i did not understand
to hope that your midfield as a whole will provide more in a stats was a dream
the stats are so manipulated that they should change it to quiality instead of counts
to have over ten goals scored by turnovers will kill you every time
why they did not take a tall forward off and put anthony on in the third and go small and fast in the forward line baffles me because we were so predictable,esp when you go with the same plan that we used twelve months ahead
we will be in for a long season because the top teams will just sit back and pick you off every time
can some one tell me why greenwood does not get a game as our main shut down player
to go in with not one tag was an embarrassment to scotty and his team in the box

Obviously with beams out the coaches didn't think there was anyone worth tagging, that's how they played it anyway!

Do you guys have a tagger?

Cunnington?

How long has Scott been there now?

Has he had his chance?

He's been there 3 years and we've finished 9th, 9th and 8th. Not bad with the list being as young as it has been. And the teams improving every year. He's just signed a multi-year contract, so cant see him going anywhere for quite some time. I rate him and am happy with him as a coach.

Was a pretty poor performance on the weekend.

Collingwood were rocked with so many injuries, plus two late outs. North Melbourne were at full strength minus Boomer and McMahon.

Collingwood then also used there sub in the second quarter and were one man down in the third.

With a tough draw, i can't see them finishing in the top 8

the best tagger we have by far is greenwood
hardest in and under player plus gets his own ball
judd went on record as saying he was in the best couple of run with [players out of the new guys
the point is we would not know because we dont really tag
we will struggle this year if they dont change that mind set
i personally think scott is a good coach and i like his direct approach when answering questions and what ever but his biggest strenght is also his biggest weakness and thats his loyality to his players
mullet would not be in my first 25 at this stage but got a gig
harper was played out of position
i dont rate hansen and never will
last year we played a dangerous kamakazi style of play in the secon half which worked but on the week end they played into collingwoods hands by playing their game plan

I thought that bucks used a Geelong type game plan of attacking down the corridor against North. It seemed to work as well so here is to a reprise this week.

No need to panic yet, plenty of upside from the weekend just needs a few tweeks. I rather be playing crap now with plenty of improvement than playing like this late in the year.

good first win for the year but any win is a good one
brisbane were stinkers but alot of the defensive pressure they had against them caused that
good to see the team go back to the run and carry game plan

Had some pretty good opposition to start the season off as well. I think North will start to roll now.

i lost interest in the game after daw got knocked how

that first mark was classic.

Hawks this Sunday @ MCG will be a massive test.


Then the Roos should start climbing back up the ladder:

Port @ Bellerive
Bulldogs @ Etihad
West Coast @ Subiaco *FRIDAY NIGHT*
Crows @ Etihad
St Kilda @ Etihad
Gold Coast @ Gold Coast

Hawks should win rd5
Only 2 of those games are easy to pick
Port, WCE, Crows will all be 50/50
NM should beat STK
On recent form i dont see WB or GC getting close

Would not be suprised to see North 4-7 after rd11
Also wouldnt be surprised to see them 7-4 after rd11

Id pencil in 5 definates and WC as a 50/50.
Should set them up nicely
