20 is a stretch. Not even NM would take that long.
20 is not possible but I reckon Carlton are looking at giving this a nudge.

Bahahahahahahahahaha

You guys told me I was dreaming when I said you would finish bottom four this year.

Ben brown is the only youngish player who is even close to elite on your list.

Definitely need a few ball using mids but who would wanna go there knowing there is no finals on the horizon?

Stopped reading after I saw you use "Bahaha". Almost didn't get that far after I saw the "bennymacca" part.

I assume you took me seriously and gave us your best Hutchy impersonation.

Yep, I reckon 1-6 still have a week off whilst it'll be 7 v 10 & 8 v 9.

Yeah this club is in for 10+ years of pain if it can't even buy two players for massive overs...


Do you think Dusty would have signed with the Crows if offered the same deal? Or would Kelly?

Probably not mainly due to being outside of Victoria. Kangaroos are around the corner from Punt Rd...

He's openly said afterwards he wouldn't have gone to any other club.

Of course he said that.
His manager also said that 24 hours before he signed for Richmond, he was going to sign with NM.
At the end of the day, if NM cannot entice a player by offering them 1.5m per year for 7 years, they never will.

Hopefully they enter the Jake Lever race (assuming he's gone), with that kinda money.

Would rather some of Norths first rounders, given how terrible they will be for the foreseeable future.

Agree Booney.
Why reward a team with a finals berth in 10th?

Yep stupid idea.
Even more stupid was Hutchy on Footy Classified trying to justify it saying it was because the AFL was concerned about some of the one-sided games last weekend.
So first week we would have four teams who are rarely more than average play each other for the possibility of 5 v 10 in the second week? And that doesn't have the potential to be lop-sided? :roll:
