If Tmac had already signed would Dunn be playing instead of Oscar? I would of thought we play Frost all of this year in defence along with Dunn and Tmac, then next year phase out Dunn for Oscar. That to me makes more sense. Pav has the smarts but his body isn't what it used to be.

I missed that, will have a read through. Whilst Frost is making some mistakes he is also doing some good things. He needs to be left there to settle and develop his game, he's still young and raw.

Surely....hopefully....Frost remains in defence.

How do you see the make up of the back six next year with regards to how many talls? Also in your earlier post you mentioned if we were able to land Hurley the club could look at the possibility of trading out Tmac to free up space in the salary cap, just a thought (and it is 4.30 in the morning) if we were to move on at years end Dawes/Grimes (both out of contract) Dunn (1 year remaining?) Garland (2 years remaining) could we then have Hurley/Tmac/Frost as our KPD and Oscar as depth? Hurley and Tmac would be on good coin whilst the other two on the average (whatever that is) Besides Jones/Vince/Hogan I am struggling to see who is taking up all our salary cap? H? Melksham? Considering the bulk of our talent is young I think we could make that work by front loading some players contracts.

How about the Saints that played Geelong last week? We'll know soon enough as he will be up for trade at years end. Changing lists doesn't guarantee him a game.

Can't wait, it's not as if no one is aware that he is going to do it.

Saints? Why not the Bulldogs as well? Wouldn't fit the Saints. I think he might go to another club but he's no certainty to play.

Which club would he be a good fit at?

Rance spoils footy. Cometti : You can't teach that can you? Got his fist exactly to where the ball is. What part of that can't be taught?

If Grimes played rounds 1 & 2 and the club got the 100 out of the way early would we still be having this conversation? The Sydney game was the obvious inclusion if he was to play. With 8 rounds to go if the coaches have no intention of playing him regardless of the circumstances,do the right thing and put him out of his misery, by the looks of the photo he (Jack) believes he is a week to week chance.

Is the media ban still in place?

Is that a serious question? Jaaaaaack Dusty Cotch Lids Vickers Grigg Houli Tigga Rance Dylan They continue to think they're part of something special, they're part of nothing.

Mindset pressure mindset pressure

Oh no.

So the grass is a deadish colour and the crowd looks warmish....you're right, this is big, continue thread.

Yes Chris I read what you wrote. But out of those left who's contracts expire at years end we have : Watts : All but put pen to paper. Hogan/Tmac : Already have their own threads regarding this. Too big a signing to hold off on announcing. Grimes : Gone but same as above. Kent and Dawes : No idea I get your point, same as when Petracca made his debut and Trengove broke back into the side, they're drip feeding us hope. I just didn't think it warranted a new thread.

Why the new thread?

Message received and understood.

Interesting point.... How much of Oscar getting games is because of his brothers pending signature and how much because of his ability/talent/potential. Where now for Garland? If he's on base rate (whatever that is) does he stay/we keep him as depth? Or does he look elsewhere? Would anyone else take him?

Is there a game on?.... North will beat the Eagles next week, but both teams will be bundled straight out of the finals. Mindset....teams still don't get it.

Port could also be added to the list of Jeykll and Hyde sides.

That would be a sight. If anyone is interested.... Eagles over there (loss) Port ES (win) Pies ES (win) Saints ES (50/50 based on their last meeting and Saints win over the Cats) Bulldogs ES (loss) Hawks MCG (loss) Swans Blundstone (loss) Giants ES (loss) They could end up with 12 wins, (and yes they could end up with 18). There form against other top 8 sides has been ordinary, if this continues they may finish as los as 8th and be bundled straight out. I think the Melbourne's and Saints of the world are still a year off.

Already being asked in pub quiz's now.

Have you seen Norths draw? They may not win too many more based on their current inability to beat other top 8 sides.

Only problem is like us they don't come to play every week.
