Jesse Smith walks out on North Melbourne

Featured Replies

North are gutted at losing him. Plenty at the club have tried to convince him to stay. He's been a required player, which is why he wasn't traded last week. They didn't offer him a contract that was designed to make him walk.

Obviously his body is a massive concern, which would see many clubs steer clear of him, but he's a fantastic footballer. Just a natural talent.

And Rhino, if Freak says he's "overrated", what does that tell you ?

Yup. He is a star. :lol:

Just his body......

Theres a hell of a lot of something NQR about al this. North not going to have the facilities ? rubbish.. They will beat us just about.

Nup..something terribly fishy about Smith.. and quite frankly it smells.. happy for him to keep right away.

Yes he does have Fremantle written all over him doesn't he :lol:

I don't see a reason why you can't take a risk in Smith in the later stages of the ND (Picks #30+), and this would allow Melbourne to pick up Ball in the PSD.

It's very rare that you will strike something of value in this years draft after Pick #30 (unless you take a punt on an experienced known quantity).

Just because you read an Emma Quayle article it therefore is set in stone.

Critchon,Kennedy,Hartigan,McMillan-Pittard,Grimes,Carey,Temel,Geary,Dare,AhChee and Fyfe can all play and most will be available past pick 30.

I trust Prendergast and co to trust their judgement and make the correct decisions.

Oh yes .. I get all my info from Emma Quayle :rolleyes:

Please don't let the other hundreds of thousands who read the articles also that I forge all my opinions based on the Gospel that is Emma.

You rattle off names like Temel, Dare, Crichton, Ah Chee and Hartigan like clubs will be falling over themselves to pick them up.

Smith is more talented than all of them - take that to the bank.

Optimist much?

If not Ball then Joel McDonald please.

I don't want anyone that makes Miller look good. Surprisingly it looks like Smith may go to Geelong. Well done Pickering the most biased manager in the AFL. If not Ball then we shouldn't use pick 1 in the PSD.

Yeah, we should make a moral stand - "if LB won't come, then the alternative 'Joel McDonald' - if that is his real name - is so crap we are going to PASS on our PSD pick and go into the season a player short."

That'll learn him for being such a rubbish player...

Thankyou for so eloquently putting my thoughts into words...

Sometimes " :blink: " just doesn't suffice.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
