Any credit for landing Sanders goes to this man btw

Gags is a very good operator, will be an AFL club CEO in the not too distant future.

We want to hold onto him for as long as we can

 

[bengrina]

Doe this indicate that Sanders is likely to form part of the assistance package?

 

[kool kangas]

Now comes the wheeling and dealing...

 

[chubbspeterson]

Good. I thought we should insist on him being listed as part of our NGA regardless of what happens with access.
Even if it means nothing it's due process should be followed by the AFL.

 

[Full Chooks]

Apparently Melb are super keen on Pick 4 also. And they have a better points hand than we do. Ie Pick 5 (6) & Pick 13 (14)

One thing they don't have is 2 pick positions before pick 4 though.

We can save GC a lot of points by not bidding on their academy boys at pick 2 or 3.

Re Gallagher, would you say, maybe, he's going to be the one who saves us?

Not bad.

It's funny that every Wet Toast fan that comes in here is shocked, almost offended, by the 'fake news' rumour that Reid doesn't want to go to there. "He and his management have publicly said he's happy to go there... blah blah blah".

Then this bloke comes in here and then actually believes the Sanders made the call that he doesn't want to play for North (yeah... even after he made the application for our NGA)

.... jog on.

Where did I say he didn’t want to play for north?

I said he didn’t want to be pre-listed.

Wasn't there something reported a couple of weeks back that they were thinking of allowing clubs to match bids inside 40 again on NGAs in the not too distant future.

So now Sanders is approved as our NGA, taking out all assistance, allowances, special treatment etc, if we don't end up with him, it will because he was in the draft in the couple of that the AFL changed the rules before changing them back?

Bulldogs play finals in 2020 and in the same year take the clear cut number one pick, because he happened to be in their NGA zone.

The team that has been on the bottom of the ladder for four straight years has an eligible NGA player, but there isn't the slightest opportunity for wiggle room on a rule they may well cancel next year anyway? Why, because it may upset Geelong that they might not get access to the best players in the draft after missing the finals for one year in a row?

But of course no one is saying a word about the three academy players being happily handed to the Suns... as well as bending the rules for them a couple of years ago to allow them to prelist academy players (and also expanding their academy zone!)

Top prospect joins North's Academy, AFL mulls priority access

Ryley Sanders has been added to North Melbourne's Academy list

GUN DRAFT prospect - ughhh **** this guy!

Does every journo do this or is it just him?

Last week it was:
‘ANOTHER top-five pick’

Why would the afl approve listing sanders as nga if they weren’t intending to allow us some form of access to him?

 

[Roo202]

Why would the afl approve listing sanders as nga if they weren’t intending to allow us some form of access to him?

Why would the AFL constantly schedule us to play at 4:40pm on a Sunday with umpires who are clearly watching their first game of Australian Rules Football?

 

[Dan]

Does this help us?

 

[Tas]

Does this help us?

It doesn't hurt us. He has to be on our NGA list to be able to match a bid on him.

We will find out next week.

 

[Tas]

I think with Tarrant & Higgins leaving to Richmond and Geelong, JHF leaving to Port after 1 year and McKay and Goldy leaving this year it should also tick the box that there is an issue with retaining players when you are in shitsville for too long.

That is the other major issue outside of being shit, if you are there too long you can be caught in a doom spiral.

 

[Supa_Nova]

Imagine pick 11, access to sanders and some late picks to trade... and the media got it completely wrong and AFL have been working to help us significantly

I wouldn't hold your breath, AFL media = AFL.

Dream of Wayne Carey coming out with his 20 illegitimate boys who are turning 18 next year and are as good as he was.

 

[Samsquanch]

So the AFL asked us to get creative.

It was probably a trick question.

North respond. The AFL discover what is possible and they close off the loopholes before North get the opportunity to expoloit them.

Meanwhile, up at the broadbeach franchise...

Is it possible? Surely if somebody can sign him up to ancestory.com the DNA test might turn up a few eligible candidates.

He's changed his tune a bit.
