The Year to Come - North Melbourne

Brad Scott's New Transport:
Training Wheels to be removed in 2012
See now these guys should have been playing on the Gold Coast - but the Gold Coast are forever thankful they are not.

The Kangas are always around the mark.  They always talk about shinboner spirit.  They talk about fighting it out.  But they should be talking about zero supporters, zero care factor, zero appeal. 

James Brayshaw has tried to do an Eddie, but he doesn't have the cash to do it.  It's simple - if no one supports you, then no one will give you big $ for a spot on your guernsey.  I actually met a Kangas supporter once. Which probably means I have met 18% of their supporter base.

But enough of their draining on otherwise valuable resourcing... They have a new coach this year.  Or was that last year?  I dunno.  See - that's the thing - no one cares.  OK, they have the SAME coach as last year.  Or maybe not because Brad n Chris may just alternate depending on who has domestic duties on any given night.  Anyway, the Roos are OK.  They will win some games.  They even have some good players - Atley is in my Fantasy Team (injury beckons) and Harvey is ALWAYS a handy one.  Will they win enough to make the finals though?  Nuh.  Lets hope not anyway because no one likes empty stadiums in the first week of the Finals and North v Freo at the Dome is 10k at best.

Finishing Position: 10th - 12th
