Trade radio this morning said that James Harmes was seen at the Hangar last week.

I did wonder whether we were going to look to offload another contract in that $500k range, along with Tomlinson, and Hunt's contract nearer to probably $350-400k.

Giving Melksham and Hibberd one year deals on small dollars, along with a two year deal for Smith on small dollars, I reckon we're opening up cap space for a very big fish this year or next.

    SEN said this morning that Freo are offering Pick 13 and F1, but want a second round in return. They can get farrked

    That ‘22 pick would want to have been upgraded to a pick comfortably inside the first 10 for us to send a 2nd back the other way.

    How many number 1 picks have Carlton had?! Did I hear correctly recently that Horne-Francis is the only number 1 draft pick North have ever had? 

    Murphy, Weitering + ?

    I'm assuming ours includes Jeff White, even though he was originally picked by Freo

    Won’t start a new thread. Probably shouldn’t even post. Might delete later. 

     

    I suggested this the moment he retired. We get him for pick 80 plus which is better then drafting a kid with limited ability. We pay him a basic wage on the promise of a premiership. Play him sparingly and then let him lose for finals. If it doesn't work we lose nothing. Alternative is to wait for Weid to come up, no thanks we know how that ends

    Yep, need to pony up some more value.

    On JHF you would be gutted as a nth fan, I know scully left us but at least he left us for a new club and plenty of money. This kid just wants out and I think he is using the clarko situation as an excuse. He knows his team is [censored] and won't be playing finals for awhile. 

    Obviously wants to be closer to his mates and family and you can tell by his body language all year he didn't really enjoy it. 

    Nth are better to let him go this year. They won't change his mind next year and he comes out of contract anyway and he brings bad body language and attitude around the club anyway and they don't want that. 

    It does kind of amuse though that nth are going to lose there potential young gun. 

    But man if he does get to port imagine the boos and [censored] he will cop from the nth fans next year.

    What benefit is it to the club in keeping him?

    The bloke refuses to train or play, still gets paid & then leaves at end of next year anyway. It happens in other sporting codes where blokes that don’t want to be there just disrupt the club, cause trouble & that hurts the club more. 
    Take a trade now & get 2 good picks for him & get rid of the cancer. New coach & time to start fresh in their rebuild.

    If his role model is Fabian Francis, North should take the deal and be done with it. Let it be Port's problem

    His behaviour this year indicates they should've traded #1 last year to Adelaide while they had the chance. Would've been better putting the time and resources into two later first rounders in 2022 rather than a homesick kid with poor attitude from the start

    l think its more a case of players wanting opportunity in what has been a very structured and regimented game plan and selection strategy. Might also be thinking Brayshaw will get the remaining midfield time.  Especially hate it when a player feels they need to leave the club they supported

    If Freo can turn pick 13 into a top 10 pick it would end up the practically the same as we paid for Lever.  This would seem fair.

     

    with them losing Lobb and Logue plus Tucker they will struggle to kick a score next year. Especially if Fyfe and Tabener are still crocked.

    F1 could be a top 10 pick

    Tarranto and Hopper could be Tigers as of today:

    Richmond - TT & JH
    GWS - 12, 19, 30 & F1
     

    Tigers going the Geelong model. 2 great players, will have them in top 4 contention next year

    to make it worse, this time last year JHF would have been telling North he wants to go to them and will be loyal. unless his attitude changes, he won't make it as a quality AFL player.  buyer beware

    I shudder just thinking about Barry Prendergast.... would have to be the worst recruiter in history or at least a close second to SOS.

    SOS has built a list that has/had few holes in it at 2 clubs ... as for BP definately agree. The blues if coached well should finish top 4 to 6 for a number of years

    I don't agree.

    He'd made the AA squad of 40 in his third and final year at the Crows and they considered him a future captain.

    He was bad, always seemed to go for nice lightly built skillful players who didn't have any competitive edge about them

     Not  happy with the early speculation so far. 
     

    Not sure who we are clearing the cap space for as well given there is only Grundy we are publically going after. Maybe it’s Kozzys next deal? Would have thought you’d just give him what he’s currently earning + Hunt + Bedfords earnings for the next 3 -4 years~ 500K for 4 years

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
