North Melbourne are aligned to two clubs??
Two clubs are the Tigers??

Werribbe are the traditional "Black and Gold" Tigers
Coburg the not so tradtional "Red and Blue" Tigers

[Dirko]

Bizarre how North Melbourne align themselves with two clubs. What happens when they play each other ?

Coburg used to be the Lions but changed their name to match Richmond's.

At least something to do with North Melbourne would be a chance to win

[Dutchy]

STFU!

Similar to Crows players coming up against each other in the SANFL

[Dirko]

STFU!

So how do they align them Dutchy ?

Unusual situation IMO, considering all other sides have a stand alone or just the one club they use.

Pretty sure Carlton are looking at going stand alone again. Makes sense IMO.

[brod]

the hawks really are battling, and are lucky they played carlton, most other teams would have beaten them today

At least the Hawks didnt sustain any more injuries, but the prospects for Gilham and Ellis dont look that good, while Rick Ladson looks like to be a long term injury (August if at all)

Gilham could be a week to week proposition, depending on how it pulls up, while Eliis could be after the Spilt Round.

But during Box Hill Hawks game on Sunday Tim Boyle injured his knee, resulting in season ending surgery...plus Simon Taylor and his potential 2-3 week holiday

Scott Simpson from Geelong also suffered a serious injury breaking his ankle in the VFL, and will be out for 3 months (must have been late in the game as he was best for the Cats)

It must be something to do with most of their players being B-graders!
