Enjoy Term 3 Jason. Love your weekly podcasts. Keep up the great work

A lot of people compare sheezel to Nick daicos but I see him as Pendlebury. The composure and poise

back easy😊

Good win 👍

Guess all that scabbing has to turn things around at some point

We still need to wait and see what we look like with Griffin Logue back and a few games under his belt. Kallan Dawson has earnt his spot in defence, the question is, will we be able to afford putting Comben in at CHF? Hope Will Phillips keeps his spot when the warlord returns. Dylan Stephens out for Wardlaw, Pink out for Logue (if Griff is ready). Apparently Clarko opened up to the team about his personal struggles during the bye. I wonder what kind of mental cleansing that might have helped with the team. They had all been struggling I reckon because of so many lossses, I think Clarko talking about his own struggles might have lightened the load on the lads. There has been such a huge improvement since the bye, I cannot but think some of it was mental attitude.

Slow improvements by us

The team is looking far more even across the field, with solid contributions from everyone and little cameos popping up here and there.

I’d drop Shields for Greenwood at least for next week against his old mob

We've gone from 20 goal losses, to 10 goal losses, and now only 3 goals against a seriously good Bulldogs team. If Weightman could hold his footing, even closer. Our defense is keeping opposition scores under 100 points now, it's been a month of much improved performances.

Uncut 💎 he'll be a gun for us in the next few years.

Listened to 'On the couch', last 4 weeks we are no.1 for pressure and no.2 for clearance. Seems our team and specifically our midfield have embraced the furnance and really sharpened up the defensive side of their game. This has really helped our backline settle and not have to deal with 60+ inside 50s every week. Great pod as usual bro!

I rate him . He is not to dissimilar to Mitch Owens of St Kilda..

Teakle has come right in and done what we need CCJ to do all last year and before he got injured this year.

So proud of the boys this week, we’re going to be a formidable side in the near future, maybe as soon as next year

Hards will take lmacs place

We are BACK!!!! Suddenly our boys can compete at AFL level again. The balance of talls and smalls seems to be where it needs to be, and the balance of offence and defensive is working.

I am sure you prefer to listen to your favourite commentator Gerald Healy than choking a 54 point lead😂😂😂

19 goals 4 behinds is a very, very good game against any top tier opponent and the reigning premier.

Nick Daicos with Will Phillips: 11 touches (4 touches in quarter 2) (Will was doing better by the quarter) Nick Daicos without Will Phillips: 18 touches and 2 goals and 2 points

Boy oh boy Wowee!!! What a game. This just proved the team can compete against anyone

Heart breaker. However can't say I didn't expect it. We are a young team and got scared we were close in the game and we were tired. Still so proud of the improvement, we lose this by 60 a month ago. I think this loss is an overall positive and I couldnt help but walk away happy.

Hello Mr Hunt. Nice podcast!👍

Hallelujah!

Ask and you shall receive! Wanted more midfield mins for Sympkin and we received. Love how he kicked goals as well.....think Clarko is looking at Sydney's midfield blueprint, wanting multiple goal kicking midfielders. Great review and insight as per usual mate.

Very even contributions across the group. Big X was Huge all night in probably his best ever game. Larkey, Comben, LDU, Powell, Warlord, Fisher, Simpkin, Sheezel, all led the way, with solid contributions all round.

Glad Archer got the praise for this game

Big Hopes for Brynn............but No Pressure!!!!

Brayden George seems to be forgotten about

Thanks for the year so far mate, always enjoy tuning in, genuinely feels like therapy at times

Thoughts on Jy Sympkin's year till date?

The whole watch/listen for freedom of speech nazis with Clarko is an absolute joke and the only people pushing it is 1% of the shills that work for the sporting industrial complex ie John Ralph.

I too dont buy into that North are a young team as they have bottomed out for the last 4-5 years. We need Football people to run the club not supporters like Sonja Hood and Jennifer Watt . Alistair Clarkson will not be North's next premiership coach and when his contract runs out North should woo John Longmire as the next coach as he won't coach the Swans forever. Longmire also has a good record for getting inexperienced teams more competitive and rise up the ladder quickly

Been following North for years ...there is something seriously wrong with our club...i dont buy into this ..they are only young team

Another thing that is becoming a worrying and frustrating trend is Red Time goals. Gave port two in the last 90 seconds of the first qtr and one in the last 60 seconds of the second qtr. We don't do that and we are only down by 2 points at half time instead of 20. Two early goals in the third, blows out to 5 goals and heads drop 😫

The bye is a Big Win for sure!!

3 very good quarters is almost our best game of the year :)

whats annoying is that we actually had a very good game by this year's standards While they had five consecutive goals that is the least amount of consecutive goals a team has given us this year Xerri played very good Corr and Comben played well LDU's best game this year in my opinion Will Dawson was fine especially for his age. Defenders take time usually, a lot of time, but he played close to an AFL standard. A top four that we just versed by the way We are improving very slowly, but we are improving. This game didn't have the Hawthorn atmosphere of getting worse it had the "it's getting better atmosphere" But I still think that a 40 point or more loss is unacceptable so we must keep our standards above this.

Turns out the corr renaissance lasted exactly one game.

Great insights on the tackling / Rowell north mids comparison

Congrats on the big 50 mate! Love your work. Hopefully at 100 there will be far better things to talk about!

Great podcast, congrats on 50!!!!!

The first quarter was easy to watch AND we goaled seconds after the siren..........after that not so much :)

Hello. I would buy you a coffee but you probably should not drink more coffee since you already have a lot of coffee already. I don't like coffee. Maybe you like coffee. Coffee sounds weird now. I actually don't know what you are talking about because I picked a random video to comment on. See if you can guess who I am. Coffee. More coffee. Also by the way four dollars for a coffee? Must be very nice coffee.

Standout game from McKercher, Warlord, Big X, Chom and Sheezel really good games.

There was some small positives against St Kilda but to be fair St Kilda aren't that good . North were ok in first and last quarter but there is no structure in defence or attack

The teams we are playing are dragging our experience defenders you hardly see corr & Lmac . Simpkin doesn't have Tarryn & Ben making him look good he was pulled out of the centre but put him self back there you need a strong midfield to cover a bad defence

I was there in 1992 and again in 2009. Mark my words, this game will be remembered as the game when things turned.

Xerri Curtis Powell only ones who have improved this year everyone else the same or dropped off.
