North Melbourne

[HH3]

Boomer said in his statement he didn't want to be a part of the press conference because he would get too emotional. Players call, not the club.

[MW]

The soft decision would have been to make this call after the last game, the hard but respectful way was to do it now.

People have been giving us stick all year about the age of our list, now we cut that significantly and still wrong?

its more the way they went about it.

Press release then a conference with the coach only and no players?

Compare to how swanny went out at collingwood...

Players rejected the press conference

[JK]

Think they've made the right call for the future (Boomer aside), but not sure about how it's been done .. Kinda saying to them "we dont think you'll be part of our next flag" whilst heading into a finals series tying to tell the group "cmon boys we can win this thing"

[Frosty]

I reckon Spud Firrito could get reported up to about 8 times in the match against GWS and he won't give a rats. I give North a massive chance in this game playing on sentiment and emotion which could frazzle the young Giants lads.

And miss playing finals, makes no sense

The other option is to lie to the players about their future and then drop it on them after the last game.

[Booney]

Have another Steinlager.

[Booney]

Cc and dry.

Way to kick a playing list in the guts...OR...look desperate for motivation.

[MW]

Lets hope they get the emotion out of their system against GWS and pull off a win and give us the double chance!

@Spargo Any idea how Sam Durdin is going? Drafted 2 years ago and haven't seen his name mentioned for a game

He's played forward for Weribee all year and has been good. They played him in the back lines last week in their final match, had 12 touches and apparently read the play & marked well. Has been down the order behind Brown, Petrie, Waite & Daw which makes it tough to get a league spot. With players finishing this year he'll be in the mix in 2017.
Along with Ed Vickers-Willis, Mitch Hibberd & Ryan Clarke, Durdin is in the young group hopefully to take North ahead.

Thanks mate, being a Westies boy I was wondering how he was going. Has a lot of talent but was very skinny when he left here.
