Yes he could and does provide a good target while your new young KPP develop in the VFL. But you got to remember you guys did win by 93 points and even Hudson got a goal going to show your dominance in that game.

well i agree not a consistent forward but he could play a similar role to Ottens, he is a fantastic ruckman, but i doubt he would survive as a forward but at least for this year while we dont have a key forward, he could provide a very good marking option up forward when we are under pressure. he has shown he can kick goals as well, plus he seems to work well with johnno, aker and higgins around him in the 50 metre arc

so who will be the new north melbourne coach??? wayne carey? haha lol
seriously but though…who should take up the helm now?

Either David King or Longmuire, I do not think any other coach in waiting would take the job but both of these are ex North players and have experienced club culture/ life at another club.

I agree that St Kilda still have a bit to go. They still lack in the pace department which Carlton exposed and Geelong, Dogs and the Dons can also expose.

Minson is not the answer down forward, yes he played his best game for the year and maybe even his career but a consistent forward? Doubt it!

I still believe that st kilda are over rated. so they have won every game so far, but they are not convincing enough. they have to many gaping holes and they’ve been exposed a few times against north melbourne and carlton. when they play geelong and the dogs again, if they win those games then i will agree that they are a real shot, until then i think they have to much to prove to be taken 100% serious.
the hawks are in big trouble. they need their stars back and fast. they are struggling and the way theyre going they need to step up quick otherwise they may not the 8 this year.

but how about them lions? man are they going to be a force again in the coming years. they look very promising, and they are winning games the hard way. if there is a a gap between the top 2-3 and the rest, then brisbane are starting to bridge that gap i reckon.

are west coast the new fremantle? winning when it seems unlikely, or pushing geelong hard? but then they seem to struggle against teams like richmond who they probably could and should beat. Congrats to rawlings on his first win, lets hope for his sake he can win some more.
On the tigers, i find myself suddenly almost linking them now that that idiot wallace has finally stepped down, now hopefully they can erase the last 5 years of their existance and move on to the future…

here come the doggies!!!
How about that big William Minson!!! 3 goals, a couple of good marks, i am restarting the call for him to be developed into a key forward, or even a ruckman who they can swing down into the forward line whenever they need him (much like Brad Ottens) he is promising, and the dogs are exciting. look at st kilda and geelong, because the dogs are yapping at your heels

to fire worsfold would be an extreme mistake. the eagles are going through a rebuilding stage, like every club does, keep him, he has done alot for the eagles and firing him would be taking a backwards step.
williams should go, port adelaide need something new, same as north melbourne, and im still adamant malthouse should be ejected as well.

News just in that Dean Laidley has resigned as Roo’s coach and I doubt he will be the last with also Williams to go probably towards the end of the season.

Wonder if its it so the Roos can get David King..
