That's another game they should win, 17th vs 18th."<\/p>\n Fellow AFL great Nathan Brown said that North couldn't expect much from its current list.<\/p>\n "Wins wallpaper over some of the cracks but the process … where do you go with North Melbourne," Brown said on The Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n "It is the process, they need to build but I don't think they have the cattle to get those wins at the moment.
