2012 Pre-season discussion

[c4v3m4n]

Howdy all,

Just figured I'd take a thread where we can discuss anything and all about North Melbourne's 2012 pre-season campaign.

I'll kick things off with an article about Swallow throwing himself into overdrive for 2012.

Good to also see that Bastinac is hard at it too!

If it hasn't already happened it's mighty close.

Three things to take away from this article are:

• Goldstein and HMac might share the rucking duties (will hurt both their SC scores if that happens)
• Majak Daw will debut sometime in 2012 (but where does he fit in if Petrie, Goldstein and HMac are all fit?)
• Brad McKenzie will be a superstar and is a perfect fit at North (debut Round 1 perhaps?)

[roo boys!]

To be perfectly honest, none of that was really unexpected, but still good news :)

With no rawlings, who will play his role in the backline now?

i personally tihnk mckenzie will probably end up with that role, not sure if he is ready yet.

Certainly one of the leading candidates.

Jamie McMillan or Aaron Mullett will be used until McKenzie has shown that he is AFL ready.

Here's an interesting discussion point...

...if all North players are fit and firing, what is North's best 22?

[Ziplock]

Swallow x 22

:P

[c4v3m4n]

Swallow x 22

:P

and he'd defeat GWS by an unprecedented 382 points. Old McDonald, Power, Brogan and Cornes were briefly seen on the boundary telling the whippersnappers to keep it down while they had their nanna naps at half-time.  :P

[Ziplock]

but then the AFL introduce an anti-cloning rule, NMFC gets the game disqualified and thrown out of the league.

And then the original swallow goes to GWS :P

17 Swallows 2 Petries and 2  Goldy (1 with the green vest and the other the red) and of course captain boomer
