Some very impressive recruiting as per usual
S MOTLOP was a massive loss when he was poached by ML preseason
he is a delighful player and love watching him + his brother in action
When I roll up at Prospect I will clap HART as loud as possible, a champion
who was shafted by the Crows or the AFL system or whatever
HARGREAVES will be missed but NA have enough forwards
EDWARDS[son of meggsy] will be a loss I believe he is as good as GIBBS

MALS MINOR ROUND FINISH : TOP [SURELY rod rooster will agree]

MAL please delete that dreadful rumour about that Riverland golf club as we would not go so low. My mates sons teachers uncles knows the bloke who drinks with Tiger Woods butlers best mates bookie who says we have given up on that one and am now looking at St.Andrews for our next target.

[Wedgie]

James Allen WILL win the Magarey Medal if he plays 20 games.

[Brodlach]

Seems North has recruited well, but has also lost alot of talent too. They will be lucky to make the finals this year as some of their recruits are injury prone. Cannot see Hart, Motlop, Stribling orSporn playing too many games at 100% injury free. They spent alot of last year sidelined with injury.

We've lost 3 guys from our starting 21 last year (excluding Koops as he hardly played), and gained 3-5. Motlop, Allen and Hart will definitely slot in and the jury may still be out on Sporn and Stribling. If you consider the kids that will have an impact this year, Millar, Pfeiffer etc and that McIntyre will spend most of the year at Prospect, I think we're in reasonable shape. The unknown is Gill, but I can't see the Crows having both him and Perrie in the side, although one of them is likely to be injured at any time!!

Some unknowns there but to suggest we'll struggle to make the finals is a bit over the top Brodlach.

Mal your comments re Edwards are interesting. I didn't see as much of Gibbs play in the flesh but Edwards will be an absolute gun, his speed and skills are top shelf. I reckon the Crows may have taken him top 10 if Sellar wasn't available and they weren't so light in with ruck/forwards. Anyway I'll be watching his career with interest.

EDWARDS dad Meggsy[Greg] was a star full forward with the dogs.
MEGGSY suffered that eye injury and ended what would have been a greatish career.
He was on the way to being a 500-750 goal forward.
I enjoyed watching Meggsy and was shattered when his career ended.
I used to chat with him when he worked for a transport mob, top guy.
Watching young EDWARDS is a joy, the same talent as his dad.
His skill level, evasive skills and sheer brilliance will be on display
in what think will be a glittering AFL career.
He has that 'MERCURAL' essence.

Will be a big loss to NA.

MALS MINOR ROUND FINISH : TOP [SURELY rod rooster will agree]

First point, yes he is a very very good player. Will be a star in years to come.

Second point, yes i agree

Brodlach, what planet are you from? If North dont play finals in 07 I will give up following all forms of footy forever. They are living certainties and its just a matter of 1, 2 or 3.

Thanks for bringing this thread back up goraw, it will save Wedgie a lot of searching if the favourite gets up tonight.....

[Hondo]

What a great call by Wedgie if Allen gets up!

But even if he doesn't credit to Wedgie for predicting a great season for him - OTM!

Has this No. 1 prophet of football knowledge been on since he constructed what was the worst tip or pick for 2007?

GF for North - as for your team West, enough said!

[bulldogproud]

He was right about some of them getting injured though - have to give him that one!

Well yes he was right about that bit to a degree but any player can get injured but to claim North wouldn't make the top 5 was absurd!

[bulldogproud]

Wedgie, how much moolah did you slip to Simon Mackie for your prediction to come true though?
