North Adelaide 2019...all discussions

How can the reigning premiers improve on 2018 ?

- 2 games penalty a very BIG imposition in an 18 round season

OUTS
APPLETON
DARROU
HELYAR
MCDONOUGH
QUINN
ROZEE
RYSWYK
SWEET
YOUNG
WILKIE
WOODCOCK
WUNDKE

North have lost plenty of very good footballers so far
Callum Wilkie [St Kilda] might end up being the  biggest loss
Jordan Sweet[Western Bulldogs] only played the back end of the 2018 season, looks a real good ruckman
Robbie Young [St Kilda] a very very talented footballer , a matchwinner that will be a big loss
Callum Rozee, Boyd Woodcock are both on Ports AFL lists now, both extremely talented footballers
Matt McDonugh[Keith] a bit of a surprise, a very good player , thought he would be a required footballer with all the OUTS

Its a pity that North could produce so many talented footballers  and now have to replace a batch of them at once
The players mentioned are so good to watch

Not sure about North. Rozee only played 12 games and Woodcock probably played his best game in the GF . They have a good game plan and good big forwards. Not all doom .

JAKE NEADE
Has signed up for the roosters
I can recall the WCE V PA AFL final 2 seasons ago, the game that WC won after the siren at Adelaide Oval
I had thought that Jake was close to Ports best player that day
So after playing well in a AFL final, he finds himself a full time SANFL player, 2 seasons later
I think he will fit in well for North who are most likely to be playing a brilliant fluent footy style in 2019
His speed and carry makes him a very good recruit

Good pick up North

Agreed, if he can bring his A game he can be a very dangerous player.

A North Adelaide famous name to play for the roosters in 2019
Ben Jarman a rooster and no longer a crow

Heard this today, thought it was worth sharing for those that didn’t know.....

Former Sturt & North player George Thring was recently married & congratulations to him & his bride George ( I presume it’s a Georgie or Georgina or indeed Georgette)

Congratulations George

Its all happening , George Thrings cousin has been recruited by North Adelaide

BILLY LAURIE
Won the Keith Best and Fairest award 2018

Of the 10 teams , only 2 have their original oval names
NA [PROSPECT]
PA [ALBERTON]

I wonder if going from bottom to top to bottom has ever been done.

How likely is this for North?

With North starting at -4, and their form being very ordinary so far, they have qwuite a lot of ground to make up to avoid the spoon.

Westies nearly did that in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
