hi coach, just wondering how you think kriston thompson has gone this year? i think he has turned into a pivotal player rebounding off half back from what I have seen. Myself and my old man believe the power picked up the wrong 'thompson'.. no disrespect to wade intended. great win against the eagles by the way, see you at alberton!

Finally! A top four scalp. Congratulations!

Clearly our best four quarter effort against quality opposition this season, notwithstanding a fair number of turnovers due to poor disposal.

Was it a conscious decision for players to play on so much? Whatever, I liked it - and it helped us achieve our highest score for the year (excluding the games against South, which don't really count), after recording a large number of extremely low scores this year.

Of course, it demands a lot from the players, but it was all on display - the high workrate, the willingness to run and support a teammate, or to create space and options. Well done to the players - we had a lot of very good contributors.

While the game and the win was very enjoyable, why oh why did we have to wait until round 22 to see it. In a poor year, our recent efforts including the Norwood game and the first half against South, were simply unacceptable and below league standard - and then we come up with a fantastic effort like this. It's very hard to believe these performances came from the same group.

In any event, let's go on with the job next week and end the year on a good note. Good luck.

It was a pleasure to be at Prospect Oval on Sunday to see such a group effort and beat the Eagles, just a pity we couldn't do it throughout the year, See you at Alberton on saturday. Good luck.

Hi Daniel.

Well done yesterday!!!

It would appear that everything you've been trying to implement all year fell into place against the Eagles. There was run and carry, the players backed themselves and each other, they used the corridor, there was enormous defensive pressure, there were numbers around the fall of the ball, they kicked straight. Easily the best game I've seen all year.

Keep up the great work.

Dave

Daniel the win was good and it was wonderful to see 4 quarters that has not happened much this year the big question can we improve 2011 and were do you see changes to improve have you got your eye on some big time player my tip for the m.m Jimmy Allan

james moore congratulations on your new posting and i know you will do a wonderfull job just like you did at north and thank you well done

hi Daniel, great 2nd half effort by the group. we are having a down year, but with a down year comes a great year. we must all remember that we have some very good young boys who at the moment are gathering some good experience for our future. we must stay positive while we wait their development & as we all know this takes time. we must all stay positive for our great senior players who must be feeling the pressure at the moment. to the experienced players, please
do not give up on our great club as we will not give up on you. its a privilege to be a member of this great north club.. cheers bob....

It was only South, the bottom side! let's get a grip, by the way Daniel what are your plans for next year? I hear a number of high profile players are leaving, maybe you should go as well.

Coach, congratulations to you and the boys on the win on Saturday. The first half from the players and the level of support from the supporters was disappointing, but what was really pleasing was the accuracy in the last quarter and for the first time in a long time we actually finished strong and really punished the opposition on the scoreboard. I agree totally with Adrians' comments to the President except to add there are quite a few notable exceptions that I think are trying really hard, not just No.16.

Good to get a win,but still a lot of unforced errors
