Load “If they stay in the team they will be lucky and they will get a chance to respond and if they don’t stay in the team they have to work really hard to come back. “It’s not just about our young lads, their performance fluctuates, it’s about the players in our team who have been around for a while and we need them to get picked up, we need more of them in terms of how they do it.” Ratten said it was disappointing they still face the same form inconsistency as 12 months ago. “It’s disappointing – we put ourselves in a pretty good position to be eight-three and then post-bye to be where we are with just one win. “We can’t have a fickle momentum where five, six, seven goals in a row and we don’t get to the scoreboard and that’s what we’re dealing with.” Best and fairest two-time winner Seb Ross will return after losing the Bulldogs via COVID-19 protocol while Ratten says defender Hunter Clark will also play.

Mel Waring, the former partner of Australian Test cricketer Nathan Lyon, has debuted his new girlfriend, almost five years after the batsman left him for another woman. The world of cricket was rocked by scandal in late 2017 when Lyon, 34, was seen kissing glamorous real estate agent Emma McCarthy in Perth.

If not Clarkson, then North should consider handing over Lyon

Adam Simpson, despite a horrendous season, seems committed to the West Coast and vice versa. Another old shinboner, John Longmire, settled in Sydney. The pair can be ruled out. The noise around Ken Hinkley suggests he intends to remain with Port Adelaide for 2023, which is also when his contract expires. Former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has said he doesn’t want to coach in 2023. If so, Kangaroos shouldn’t try and get in his way. Don Pyke, enjoying life as an assistant in Sydney, won’t be pursuing Collingwood’s job, so it’s hard to see him jump North. From an experienced coach with a successful track record, that makes Ross Lyon, an authoritarian figure who can be polarizing but whose intelligence and coaching ability to land players is unquestionable. North, thus, should seriously consider appointing Lyon for a short, three-year stint, in the way of Paul Roos in Melbourne, with the club identifying a younger coach for handover in year two or three...
