Jesse Smith walks out on North Melbourne

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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
