I would not be surprised if North Melbourne makes finals in 2025. If I have a look at the best 22 2023/24 Vs next year, there is exponential improvement coming.
As a North fan I am very nervous heading into next season. while we have had access to high draft selections, I feel like the biggest problem is our inability to develop players.
North's defense is way better with Archer and Combden than it was, and the midfield will be there this year. The mid's will be bigger bodied and have already shown talent. North's year will be decided by how they link their fowards up and whether they can shake their problem of being too predictable with kick-outs and lack of ground usage (switching). Everytime they adopt a slow defensive style they look awful and get punished accordingly, when their running game is going and they hit their kicks/handballs they are a completely different side.
They also need to look at the players not tackling especially in the forward line, and players overlapping leaving position to fight for the same ball.
18th, 12th, 8th, 7.2, media, etc, etc..........this is just two blokes barking stats & tabloid drivel at each other. It has no organic input, lacks any nuance regarding list age & experience, nor does it comment about the symbiotic impact of the trades.
I'm a Hawks supporter but I've been saying i like what you're doing with your list however 0 out of 10 for 2024. Disgraceful. Not senior level footy, sorry you would struggle to win the VFL.
This Is Now Or Never For North, They Have To Show Something & Improve Big Time In 25. Cause Otherwise? This Rebuild Has Been A Waste "Again!" & Clarko Is Out Of A Job.
Clarko has been collecting a very generous million dollar salary but has sadly delivered zilch. His talented players at Hawthorn made him look like a genius!
Every one says North has tons of talent. Next year is time to prove that with wins and losses . I reckon if North doesn't win 8-10 games in 2025 then they've failed. If Clarkson is gone in a couple of years ,then North should move for Longmire as the next coach or possibly even Darren Crocker once his time runs out coaching the AFLW team.
@@andyandrew7557 Good calls. Minimum 8 wins for me as well, which would still only be a likely 16th place finish. Horse would have to be the man if Clarko is to be replaced. Hopefully the influence of the mature aged trades will be far more positive than the previous trades that have almost all been failures or at best lacking impact.
One thing that makes bad clubs is a constantly sacking coaching staff. If they find Clarko to being incompetent I get it. But just changing a coach due to not flying up the ladder would be stupid
Blue shirt, stop taking big breaths at the end of a sentence
It's ridiculous , like he is unaware of himself and the mic
Thanks lads

Comben played defence in 2024, leaving Larkey one out and getting more attention from the big guys. Thus, less shots on goal.

I like stats and tabloid drivel :)

@gustaaf1892 Horse would be the ideal replacement for Clarkson give or take 2-3 years from now
@@andyandrew75576-8 is probably more realistic
Min 6 wins is the pass mark otherwise Clarkson should be sacked.
Big call to sack Clarkson, but we definitely think 6 wins should be the pass mark.
💯
@@ZeroHangerAFLNot a big call at all considering his experience and massive, massive salary.

Pass mark for me is a minimum 8 wins. That would probably still have North finish 16th.
