No-one.

Letting Wells & Greenwood go have been proven to be fantastic decisions.


Give it a bit of time, Sam Gibson was only last season ;)

Titus O'Reily :

Apparently, one Melbourne-based club has offered Jeremy McGovern a six-year, $1.2 million a year contract. It's unknown if it's a serious offer or North Melbourne made it.

You can be aggressive all you want but hasn’t helped the past 3 years

Holding onto players that most teams don’t want or need. Only player that really holds much currency is Ben Brown

Needs to trust himself & go on first instinct a bit more. Handballed when he should’ve kicked a few times.
That’ll come with confidence & game time. He’ll be fine.

Didn't see the first half last night, have it on tape and may look at it over the weekend. He is still finding his feet but showing glimpses of the gun he is touted to be, look forward to the real stuff, we have a reasonable draw early on.

I wasn’t having a crack or being a smart ass FWIW

Watched him reasonably closely due to Super Coach considerations, TBH I was a bit disappointed but I’m sure will end up a good player

If we’re fair dinkum about the rebuild, getting more games into young players & moulding the next group then Preuss is the number one option and plays in the opening round. Whilst Goldy has been great, he’s isn’t part of our next flag tilt. Preuss needs to be told he’s “the man”.
He tackles better, goes in lower & harder when the ball’s on the ground & he kicks longer & straighter.
Plus he’s got some shit in him. He has the makings to be a dominant big man in years to come.

Looks to have that bit of anger in him which is great to see in the big fella's, a bit of Mumford but with a more athletic physique.
