North Melbourne

[tigerpie]

Geez booney boak can't go on forever.
Your midfield and with wines and jhf would be great around the stoppage.
Butters might want to go back to Melbourne anyway.
However, going to north would be a tough sell!

That's the bottom line, we, or Adelaide, would have to convince a player of top quality to go to North in a trade.

Take a player out of the equation, could your first round pick get the job done with a non a grader as the steak knives?

7 touches last week and now this. Next step he will pull out for personal reasons.

15 disposals according to AFL website.

Yeah right, well that was my knob brother giving me that stat

Depends how desperate North get to make a trade, his only way out at the end of next year is trade or preseason draft, which wouldn't work.

Basically if he says I want out they would need to facilitate a trade and a 1st rounder + a player wouldn't do it, not even close.

You've got Amon wanting a move back, so use him

Err, no.

He always was a knob

Long way to go & lot to play out but I hope we look at offering him the captaincy.

Massive turning point in your club if you can retain him after all this.

He really does have some Nat Fyfe quality about him.
Good luck trying to keep him.
He's going so I'd be doing backroom deals now.
No point having someone on your list, regardless of how good they are, that aren't going to be there for the long haul.

If you're bribing him with the captaincy to stay you've got as many problems as the media suggest you do.

Unrestricted free agent, can go where ever he likes.

I don’t think it’s bribing.

It is if he's being given it as part of the pitch to keep him, absolutely it is.

[Armchair expert]

Does anyone even know who the North captain is?

[Spargo]

I would dare say future captain would have been mentioned as a real possibility when we told him we were going to select him at pick 1.
With Ziebell in the twilight of his career it seems like natural progression if he’s committed to the club.
Nothing to do with bribery whatsoever.

Worked really well for Melbourne in the late 2000's

Terrible idea imo

Has to be Simpkin

Worked pretty well for North in the early 90’s…

Knowing Hornett I can not see him staying in Melbourne a minute longer than he has to. That said, he will/may change his outlook on life as he ages but I have never seen a more committed young man to his family than him.

The telling off for seeing his mother on mothers day was probably the stupidest thing ever said to a player. It showed a complete lack of understanding and in fact they should have got on the front foot and organised it. If you don't think it was a big deal to him ask yourself how the media got it. Money and captaincy will probably not change that.

Port in box seat.
