"I know of a premiership player". It's pretty easy to guess who you might be referring to. If you don't want to name them, don't allude. There aren't many ex Melbourne premiership players around. No-one is saying everything is hunky dory. But people need to take a step back and remember that the players are human, and everyone has off days, off seasons etc.

Way to miss the point.

Just stop. Harvey is a teenager. Leave him alone. Not everyone is great at showing their emotions. These people are human. You are meant to be a fan. I am so disgusted at some of the comments on here.

The amount of entitlement on this thread is disgusting. The team didn't play well, that's true, but north Melbourne played like a side on the rise. They are talented and are not going to be bottom 4 in the coming years. You might be upset at the teams performance, but please remember they are human. Supporter means you support the team through thick and thin.

I've never wanted the lions and Hawks to win so much in my life.

Can people stop being so negative about our team? It's only round 2 and we nearly beat one of the premiership favourites. Maybe we'll lose tomorrow, maybe we'll win, but I think we need to give it more time before we write off the year.

If Archer is out that might be good for Fritch, given he was owned by him last time we played North.

Is goody often too nice to the opponent? I feel like the most biased coaches are Kingsley and Chris Scott.

If this did happen, it would be pretty cool that we essentially got Caleb and Kolt for Jackson, then got Jackson back again. Losing Kos would suck though

This is the biggest load of click bait.

The club can do what they did with Petracca and Oliver and say no. Unless they get decent compensation.

Channel 10 also showed the interview and there was a bit that referred to the "cleaning out the locker" thing which gave so much shade to McClure. Clarry seemed very bemused that cleaning out his locker, which players do every year, made headlines.

All it's taken is one practice match and they've written us off. I'm so over the talk about our forward line. It's so boring.

Matthew Lloyd has the most boring takes of the AFL. Everyone is basing this on one practice match. Let's wait and see what happens for the year.

Oh I'm sad about this. He was so good during our St Kilda game this year.

"That's just semantics". So so good 👌

This year our tall forwards weren't the problem. It was our midfield. You have to actually get the ball to the forwards for them to have any impact. There were not many prospects during trade period this year. Lynch is so injury prone anyway. Maybe Wade Derkson would have been a good get, but he is a swingman.

I find giving Collingwood an A- a bit of a stretch. As good as Houston is, they have traded their future for him and have a lack of depth under 23. They have taken a huge gamble, and while it might get them into finals next year, they will pay for it later. I'd much rather have access to this year's draft. Getting pick 9 was a great move. Given the fact that we scared off potential suitors, I think we did pretty well getting Sharp and Campbell in. I'd at least give us a B. The real winners were Fremantle and Gold Coast IMHO.

Ooooh. Will the vultures now focus on the giants cultural issues?

100%. One of the few credible journalists around.

I love this.

He's not that reliable.

Only three days left of trade period, and speculation. Thank goodness. 136 pages to prove no-one has any real idea of what is going to happen.

Are you listening to those who say they have contacts? Because unless those contacts are on the Geelong board or football department they probably should be taken with the same amount of salt.

That could change. Many things can change in 12 months.
