So many players injured after Christmas, poor recruiting and behind the scenes people's head so big that new doorways have needed to be built in the club. Will get on track, and I have said it from pre season, after about round 6 we will come good. Only a couple of games out of the five.
Must say recruiting was difficult when we didn't know how many players would be drafted, a lot of the better players available had signed or were way down the track of signing
This is the same for every club, not sure it can be used as an excuse for poor recruiting
Six in one hit is a lot to lose
I'm sure no club has managed to survive that much turnover and remain competitive.....
After finishing third in 2012, North lost 6 including 5 of their first 6 in their best and fairest and improved to second in 2013. The 6 were Bennett, Alleway, Allan, Currie, Clisby and Mayes.
Norwood apparently lost about 10 or 12 of their 2013 premiership before the 2014 season began and still won the flag.
