This is the one that I find most staggering. I've heard it from a number of people too.
I just don't get how people can't see that it was at least on the correct side of the post.


I can see why people think this, the way C7 were running the frames back and forth created an illusion of the ball going through the behinds.
I'm comfortable with the decision, tough one to over rule

None from me, no use in doing so as nothing will change and ultimately we shouldn't have been close to them with 5 minutes to go. To be in front was more of a knock on Adelaide's ball use than our efforts.

No whinging from me, more concerned about how we have been playing since we played the Saints. Slow awful skill error ridden go long to a out numbered Dixon even time snot. Won’t win a final if we even make it. Love the boys and the club but they have been ordinary the last 6 weeks. Big turn around needed and It can start with a leader at the club kicking goals under 14’s would kick.

Obviously North feel he's worth that much to them, guess that's all that matters.

$1m first year, front loaded contract too is being reported - hard offer to turn down!

Can’t afford to lose him, games are won from your back half after turnovers and requires players that can carry the ball with speed, have excellent decision making and elite kicking. He’s not elite in all those areas but is better than Jasper and Riley. We need more like him to be honest because we have many inside slower heavier types. Speed kills

I know it’s a different game now compared to years ago but you would have to question some of the integrity of Polecs Management or the bloke himself.

2 clubs now he’s moved on from by his own accord. The 1st drafted him, the 2nd battled hard to get him and stood by him through injury and terrible form. Surely that has some value through your career.

I get it that he needs to look after his financials but buyer beware I reckon.

Let's be fair, if you we're an Adelaide boy on Brisbane's list in 2013 with a busted foot and you got an offer to go home to Adelaide to play you'd have got the hell out of there too.

Lets not forget he was an 18 year old homesick lad, now a mature adult in an industry which can make you worthless in a matter of seconds. A guaranteed extra $1.4m would persuade the most loyal of players.

C7 reporting that SPP will be dropped this week.

He seems to spend a lot of energy getting involved around contests (push me shove you) and it must fatigue him.

On current form I’m more than happy to have him at Arden St.
It’s funny, the two players I baked at the start of the year (Polec & Tom Hawkins) are now both arguably in career best form...

2024 champ, Spargo’s Good Friday Cup @ Ascot
