He ain't getting through to 5.

F'n oath. I've just about had enough.

Why are there any academies in the first place? if we can't access these players through our NGA what is the point? Just to serve and prop up the NSW and QLD teams. Sick of reading these [censored] stories over and over. Another Mac Andrew 💩 sandwich all over again from the AFL.

Playing it down sounds like, Silly not to ask the question. Give him some confidence and reasurrance he is definitely good enough for the AFL.

We have Tom Fullarton on our list and a developing Will Verrall who is 20 yrs of age they are nowhere near the standard of Harry Boyd who is 26 yrs old. Just stats alone tell you the story, vision of Harry in big games tells you an even bigger story. How many Ruckman/Forwards win Best player in a competition medals over a season theses days? He is what we have been looking for after Jackson. He could prolong Gawny's career by 2-3 years easy, $150/250k for a 2 year deal. What have we got to lose? Look at Hawthorn they took low draft/trade risks and they are paying off handsomely, this could be the case with Harry. Would be a wise investment and cost us virtually nothing in terms of a trade or drafting.

Can't be worse than Hunter, Shaq, Fullarton etc. Get him on board.

Great to hear that @dazzledavey36 we a missing a trick here if we don't ask the question here. He has a presence about him. Alot of Lloyd Meek about him and has been dominating the 2nd best league around. Takes marks around the ground and has forward craft at Full forward which we are crying out for. Deserves a chance, can't see another ruckman outside of 6-8 ruckman in the AFL that can match his output, he has developed out of sight. The numbers he has put up this year and since he came to play for Norwood in 2022 have been incredible.

Ruckman/Forward.

We are crazy if we do not ask the question on Big Harry, 26 y.o ready to rock n roll in the big time. Magarey Medalist mind you.

I'd rather Disco stay as a Forward option and Petty drop back into the backline and form the much vaunted Bermuda triangle with May and Lever. Disco kicks truely for goal and can always swing back if need be.

Harry Boyd 198cm Ruckman/ forward won the Magarey medal in the SANFL comp. Suits us down to the ground. Twiggy Rawlings is the coach of Norwood, Goody should be in dialogue with him asap if he already hasn't been. We have to get creative this off season. So some examples that would improve our list * I'd be upgrading Fullarton with Harry Boyd. * Membrey or Sam Day on average $$$ * A couple of recycled mids eg. Matthew Kennedy, Cumming * Fast small forward Rosas.

We can't attract or don't want to attract a Tall forward on big money it seems.

Membrey would release Petty to the backline. Plays tall, kicks goals and can take a grab.

Bring back Dee TV.

McAdam was a 3rd rounder at best, we got hoodwinked big time. We need to get more than pick 25 back this year for this supposed crop of talent on offer. Thought @spirit of norm smith suggestion of pick 25 and 42 for ANB would represent good business.

Pick 42 also, just trying to keep it realistic. Do you think we're a chance for a 1st rounder or future 1st?

You'd think anything with the name Barassi behind it would get instant government backing.

He is Building his brand back up, took an almighty hit during the whole saga. Win our trust back during pre season and in 2025 Christian.

Awesome call Norm. 👍 If what the draft gurus are telling us is true there will still be a handy player available at pick 42 or a bundle up picks option. This will make up for the overs we gave up for McAdam. In return they recieve a finals proven, reliable multifunctional player that they will get good footy out of for 3 to 4 years.

Port called a crisis meeting this afternoon, they ain't winning f all this year or any years to come. Mentally scared as a group.

We made a massive mistake with Jimmy Jordan finals pressure he stood up massively in the 4th.

Yes it is, most of the ball movement patterns and defensive zoning systems are derived from Football. Can you remember the ball movement in the 70's, 80's and 90's?

He's in a bit of a pickle now Houston, because he won't be winning anything at the Powa. Looks like it's the Saints and a road to nowhere.

The ultimate chokers the Powa, all style, no substance. We need to find a Tall Forward with presents. Look at the tall fella who has come on this year in forward line, Neale can take a mark and is agile. That's all we need, both years in our straight sets exits our Forward structure has been appalling.

I feel so sick watching what the Cats are doing. Roffey and Pert should resign in shame after what we have put up with in the last 2 years. Stable board, no leaks, player gets out of line and its dealt with internally and swiftly. No a word mentioned afterwards. We have pi ss ed the media off for our dismissal of issues pilling up and they haven't missed when the opportunity arose.
