Jesse Smith walks out on North Melbourne


Demon_Tingles

Recommended Posts

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 ?

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?

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
