Pre-Season Ladder Prediction

[HH3]

Hale, Edwards (round 6 start coz of drink driving), petrie, thomas and campbell....id say thats a pretty decent forward line.

Pratt, Gibson and Firrito in the backlines are good.

Swallow, Harding, Urquhart, Harris, Rawlings, Simpson and BOOMER!!! in the midfield...i reckon we'll go alright...at least make finals....hopefully

well said HH....add a fit Corey Jones to that forward line and it would be in the top 4 in the comp, our forward line is not an issue, our only weakness IMO is our midfield

yeah with Grant and Sinclair retiring we may have an issue but if Greenwood and Tarrant start the season by about Rd 10 they should be able to swap from their main positions (Greenwood - backlines, Tarrant - forwars lines) and have a run in the middle.

Urquhart is a gun. And never gives up. Just look at the chase down on Faryn Ray last year. Best chase down ive ever seen.

Harris, Swallow, Harding, Simpson, Wells, Urquhart, Petrie, Hanson, BOOMER!!! etc...sounds a lot better than what a few other clubs have, especially if they're all firing at once.

Gavin Urquhart chase down...about 8 minutes in i think..

Best bit about our list this year - No Brown or Sansbury!

Agree Urquhart looks special, also reckon Adams is one to watch

here is a shorter clip of the run down, best bit was we were up 44 pts at the time

Two North Melbourne supporters on here now. This will be interesting with Dutchy having some backup. This forum just keeps getting more and more interesting

When people ask me who i support and i say the Roos i get silence back because they not shit enough to pay out, but they dont do well enough for people to have tall poppy syndrome.

Nah, you get silence back because they are just in shock that they have made such a rare find

[HH3]

Good call

[HH3]

Only Flower Power and the Crows have more...good find mate..

Hawthorn...lucky to get flag, still not near Geelongs best

So you'd agree with those that say the Crows fluked 97 and 98?

As much as i'm a fan of those crow boys, they were extrememly lucky to get one let alone two.. Very happy to take them though

I've never really understood the perception of them being lucky against the Saints, who didn't exactly have a GF aura about them ... Fair enough they could have been streets behind the Kangas

Winmar's Dad died
They had no ruckmen
Shouldn't have got a home final against the Cats
Shane Ellen FFS
Libba's 'point'

More about the whole final series rather than the granny as the Crows were the better side that day no doubt.

For the bloke who said Eagles last...nah, that ain't gonna happen. If it didn't happen last year it won't happen this year. The Demons couldn't beat a drum.

DOH. Should have spotted that one. And someone reckons Roos fans are rare!

Nah you get silence because people think you are going to ask them for money.

I agree. He played a few games in 2008. BUT....I think he was delisted wasnt he?

[HH3]

My mistake. Hes still there. But my current favourite player would have to be Gavin Urquhart. The 3 best youngsters IMO are Urquhart, Ross and Lower (way better than his Flower Power brother)
