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.ย 

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

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

    Perhaps, but the person's well being and privacy and that of his family are paramount.ย  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?ย

    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. Heโ€™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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
