Season 2010: North Melbourne

Or the Kangaroos?  I can't remember what the hell they call themselves these days.  All I do know is they should have moved to Canberra or the Gold Coast or Cabramatta or where ever they could find 5 supporters that actually show up and watch them play. Is there anything more inspirational that watching a Kangas v Power game and hearing the sound of one hand clapping...?  (OK - Freo v Port).  Which makes their membership campaign all the more self-defeating really... "Supporters are our inspiration"... Hmmm.  Sad to hear that.

New coach this year in Brad Scott.  Interesting that the 2 new coaches for 2010 are both seen as HARD units.  Hardwick and Scott both not afraid to give one behind play.  The Roos have always been reasonably hard at it though and Scott fits the culture well.  That and the fact that the Kangas have more cattle (as they say) than the Tigers means that they will finish a little higher up.

With the transition in players over the last few years, this is the last year for Daniel Wells to show whether he is more than just a good player. STEP UP MOFO!  Boomer Harvey will continue to get the possessions and damage on occasion, and I've thought about putting a cuppla Roos youngsters in the dream team - ended up just going with Robbie Tarrant on the bench.  Other than that and... well actually they don't have a lot more cattle than the Tigers do they?

Expected Finish: 9-12
