Not sure we would’ve got much for him. He’s more value having Preuss learn from him & his experience.

2 years ago when you signed him up on mega coin was probably the time to shop him around.

He would be one of the highest paid at north right now so to get rid of him you would have to pay a fair chunk of his contract, which wouldn’t be worth it as he is still a decent footballer

You'll have to keep us updated with the AFLW off season news, preseason training reports and match previews and reviews in the coming weeks and months then.

The truth is that her home club is Melbourne Uni and Melbourne Uni is now connected/feeder club with North Melbourne so she wanted to play there

Incorrect. North Melbourne & Melbourne Uni we’re connected nearly a decade ago when she played there originally.
