i guess with higgins out a larger priority for them because they owe the player more for what he's given them and teh false hope they gave him last year. they'd rather he left (salary cant be an issue for north) and they need some bodies about to lead by example and take pressure off all the kids. but ultimately you'd think theyd rather the 32yo who will be dusted in a year or two over the expensive 27yo

    I think Lake was 'only' 29 when he was traded, big difference to a 32yo in football years anyway. Smith will probably fall off a cliff next year if he's losing his pace.

    I'll reckon he'll jump off it if he wears a MfC jumper next year. Or maybe I will.

    Wouldn't mind guessing it might end up being a straight swap between Oscar McDonald and Jared Polec. 

    North were interested in Oscar in his draft year, and given a few of their key backs are older/leaving, he'd definitely appeal.

    It'd just be about how we sort that large Polec contract...

    Their bizarre trading decisions could be explained if they were stone broke, but it's (the cap) paid by the AFL. It would explain getting rid of all the staff though.

    everyone seems fairly aware of what it is now tho, yeah?

    i guess just a matter of time

    Perhaps, but the person's well being and privacy and that of his family are paramount.  The longer it stays out of mainstream media the better.

    Therr is a bigfooty rumor getting around about Shaw.

    Pretty devastating if true.

  • Quote

    North have real problems if the rumors are true. Place seems fractured at all levels.

    We enquired about Polec and started talks, but things haven't progressed for variety of reasons and a trade seems unlikely now.

    Do you know if they stalled because of the shaw situation?

    Trade TMAC for Polec. Both are on ridiculous coin but we would get more value out of Polec, as we could put him on the opposite wing. Throw OMAC in the deal. North will need a both forwards and backs with the impending departures of Brown and Tarrant, and we need a quality wing. We get no value out of TMAC, he is done. Replace him with Hogan if we can get him cheap - which we should be able to.

    gary buckenera on polec's value:

    Polec is an interesting situation. He’s on a good contract so that complicates things. If I was list manager I would want to keep him. But if Rhyce Shaw wants him out and a club is willing to pay his whole wage, then the Kangaroos will basically trade him for nothing. In other words, a salary dump. If the Kangaroos still pay some of his wage, then a pick around 40 would be a decent deal. This is how poor list decisions hurt.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
