Looks like North are going to try and [censored] themselves out again. Back on the Kelly bandwagon it seems.

[censored] is censored, seriously.

Posters on here talk about Josh Kelly as though if North don’t get him he’s as good as coming to Melbourne. In reality we’d just be one of about ten suitors throwing cash at him. It’s a long shot.

I don't think we will be chasing Kelly...let someone else pay way overs for him.

We have a couple of our own we will need to secure in the next couple of seasons.

Gaff turning down a massive deal from North as another “big fish” says no to them is almost as good as us landing someone we wanted ?. Their war chest doesn’t seem to be worth as much as they hoped!

It was interesting to read one of Tim Gossage’s tweets. He said he had contact with a few WCE players and they were all blown away but pumped Gaff stayed. The players he spoke to thought he was leaving.

Has anyone seen Deryn, since the Prelim Final over in Perth ?

Parliament is starting to become concerned.

So if a club has to pay to the cap, what does North do with all the cash? Secret Santa with the current list? They have been putting aside dollars for years now, how do they spend it?

Front loading existing  contracts to Goldstein, Cunnington, Brown, Tarrant, Higgins,  Waite.

That's also probably part of the way they sell their mega offers to other players to their existing list.  Look here's half your pay for the next 4 years so we can afford this.

If they can't swing a Gaff replacement  this year they'll front load Polec to the max next year.

It only works for so long though.

Seems a bit hasty. They still managed to finish 9th last year without Gaff.

You can put a small amount away each year if you don’t spend the full cap.

haha, not nmfc skuit..although...

i was referring to this annoying thread. 

WCE will be hard to beat again next year. From the GF bring in Gaff, Naitanui, Sheppard and Tim Kelly....that's a serious side.

Yep, and the Norm Smith Medalist finished outside the top 10 in their B&F. Hoping to play them at the G next year for a change. Was the last time in 2014?

this is what i thought, must be close

According to North, getting close to landing Gaff is a positive thing. Maybe one day they’ll land that big fish.
