Kid hasn’t played a game yet! Good signs me thinks.
Great signs, North have probably the best player retention in the AFL in recent years, can't think of a player leaving that we wanted to keep since Gibson years back.
I can't think of many players that other clubs would genuinely have wanted to head hunt, that sure helps your player retention.
Off the top of my head, let’s see...
Mason Wood was chased by numerous clubs before re-signing, as was Braydon Preuss, Trent Dumont & also Jy Simpkin. Ben Cunnington & Jack Ziebell both turned their backs on free agency & extended their contracts despite plenty of interest from “bigger” clubs.
Nah, I can’t think of many recently either
Wow some big names in that list!
Mason Woods... decent footballer, i'll give you a well done on keeping him but most clubs have more than one like him so not a big effort to hang onto him
Preuss, Dumont and Simpkin?! Please enlighten me on the clubs queuing up to poach this trio??
Cunnington and Ziebell... yep, again a couple of ok players. But we're hardly talking the top echelon of talent here are we? Hardly going to get into a bidding war over any of these.
