Lycett is a necessity, can't keep thrashing Paddy and we'll prosper with Paddy spending more time up forward.

He'll take the place of what Lobbe promised to be.

Has Ryder ever started in attack and dominated a game?
Pinch hitting up there seems to be his go.

5 and 5 against them......much much better record.

You also won the previous 4 meetings, so in reality 9 out of the last 14.

Kicked 27 with 8 games with 2 or more in 2011 his best haul.

If Lycett plays 70% ruck I'd like 30+ goals out of Ryder.

And where do you guys fit in the scheme of things? What's a pass mark?


I will be disappointed if we don't make finals or at least challenge right up to the end of the minor round, the main thing I want to see is our youngsters really stepping up. I don't think we are under the pressure of many other teams to perform though. This time last year we were even money favs for the spoon.


Any team that misses the finals by 1 game and adds to their list after a big spending summer is under pressure.


Ranked as having one of the easier draws & a low injury count last year helped.
Champion Data have North having the 3rd toughest draw this year.
I still expect us to play finals.

Carlton - Not much commentary needed here, we all know their situation, again this will be fascinating to see how this one plays out, need 8+ wins to get some momentum and head forward into 2020 and beyond, Im not convinced they will do it though.


8 wins? Crikey most Carlton supporters are realistically thinking 4-6.

The thing is, within the membership group, we're being told a consistent message, that being 'don't expect too much' which is a great change from what we lived through with Malthouse.

I don't expect much this year, except a more consistent performance, however the rule changes don't do us much of a favour. Something you have to remember when looking at teams like us, Gold Coast, Saints and even the Bullies.

I'm having one of those moment when I have come back from being on site and I'm running around trying to work out what year it is.

Talk of Carlton winning 8 games. Is it 2025??????

How long have I been gone???

If you and the club are thinking winning 4-6 games is an OK result for the year you will never climb out of the bottom 4

After catching up on my reading, all I can say is that how can North not be under pressure. Massive $$$ being offered and being turned down then finally landing the big fish in Polec.

Should easily make the finals. Anything less will be a massive failure.

Polec’s not a big fish. Hopefully he’s a good pick up but he’s not a big fish.
Third hardest draw according to Champion Data - I expect to make finals, if not I’m not sure it’s a “massive failure”.
