I'm ok with moving North to the Northern territory and giving them an academy.

Nah - Gold Coast Kangaroos once Tasmania comes in. They can still play games in NT, maybe more than the two per year that SUNS do now.

I was mostly being a smart arse about the crowd on Saturday night, since we are playing at lunch time but it'll probably be cold and wet whatever time it is.

If Ken Hinkley wasn't our coach it would be a clear and balmy 22.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Is that wise? Their coach will force them all to get abortions

Oh the optics.

How many free kicks do they want to give to non deserving club?. North did bugger all wherever they have gone to find a second home because, they dont have the funds for proper development.

Laura Kane is ex North Melbourne. Now as Executive General Manager of Football at the AFL this is her remit. From her Linkedin page.

North don’t want a second home. They just want enough to stay in the AFL. Those second markets can see this ‘give me your money and shut up’ attitude and unsurprisingly never embraced them. Even Melbourne with the NT did a better job appearing to give a shit.

The general one of the AFL just not letting North die remains. With Tassie coming in soon, clubs aren’t going to accept both them AND North simultaneously taking all the talent in the draft in a blatant fashion, so this is a workaround to try and hide it.

With Tassie soon, if the VFL let North die, as they should, that’s 9/9 Vic/Non-Vic and that’d risk decisions being made in the best interests of all clubs, not just Vic clubs. As always for the ‘AFL’, decisions are made for the benefit of the Vic club/MCC/Vic government triumvirate.

North have the best young list in the comp, they'll be lifting trophies soon, no need to give them any more leg ups.

Just like GWS and Gold Coast.

They won't go anywhere because their a cut-price club. Doesn't matter how good their kids are. They avoid financial losses by not spending money. Brett Ratten was a part time assistant last season when he took over during Clarko's break.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We brought in the draft to make sure we have an even competition.

Bwahaha, kidding.

Here's a bunch of academies, priority picks and ever-changing father-son rules.

Surely it would be Clarkson United, Northern Territory?

 

[Stryke]

The AFL is terribly run. We need to move towards parity not do these idiotic things that cause issues.

Plus Gold Coast giving a first round pick to poor Geelong because they like helping out struggling clubs.

Of course it was "inadvertent ", Darcy Moore is an AFL poster boy.
Imagine if our ex captain did it.... there'd be a huge uproar.

Full forwards eg Mitch and Todd please do this more often

 

[Doctor Feel]

Wealth distribution im all for, but the level of bending over for these shitty poorly supported melbourne clubs is ridiculous. Stop ****ing with the draft.

 

[Powerade 08]

Apparently Dustin Martin to the GC is a done deal. more brilliant trading from the Gold Coast Shits. He might turn up for a quarter if they make the Grand Final.

They've won 2 games, so hardly representative.

I reckon he’ll be more value
In a mentor role than an actual playing role.
Could see him as a line coach for GC in the very near future.

They have a 50% winning record when he doesn't play

Sure, he's rubbish. Great stats.

edit: should drop him for the end of the season and may still make finals. Easy fix.
