Let’s not wash through any optimism at all guys! Best to just keep our heads down until these turnips deliver because we cannot bear to believe that there may be some improvement around the youngest group in the comp benefiting from cumulative pre-seasons. I’m so grateful that we have so many...

Dare I say with the last two premiership coaches being more Statesmen, Longmire similar, that this is what may be required by the modern day Millenial who needs more cuddles and love than previous generations. And Darren is a gentleman with more than a penchant for building effective...

It’s the lack of negotiating skills. It may make sense but if it was common knowledge we wanted out of last year and into this year, the swap for the first rounder may have happened way earlier. Knowing we needed talls, surely they could have played the red herring if we can trade our way into...

What a disgrace that Harry Sheezel wasn’t chosen and Zane was whose training habits have been questioned as has his loyalty to the long term future of the club. Are we seriously making an issue over a jumper reveal for our 100 year anniversary. Just let the club promote done stuff and stop...

He does have some raw skills that neither Blake or Laz have shown. Wasn't a fan of us re-signing him but in the scheme of things, he uses the ball well, can find the goals and just maybe the upside of him pulling his finger out could give us an excellent piece up forward who turns his career...

Coupled with a refusal to ask for any assistance after our historically poor output continues, one thinks there is a message been sent to this Group - it’s time.

There’s no way we’re getting 10 and 11 for next year’s first. I’m putting that on record and OMG would I love to be wrong.

So your assumption is that we will try and continue to play our worst and not try to move the ball to non stationary targets in 2025. Or is it that we shouldn’t try to improve our ball use by attracting an All Australian with experience and poise to allow other ball users to move up the ground...

Yeah can see why we would want All Australians who’ve played in Premierships ie Daniel, Darling, Rohan, Parker and then Houston when that’s the experience we are throwing at leading this list to the promised land.

To replace Lazarro and Cooper Harvey types with blokes who have a track record of success in the game. We have one bloke on our list who has played finals I reckon - LMac and now Darling. Maybe Tucker or Logue snuck one or two in. That's what - and the fact is noone wants to come here unless...

FFS they won’t be eating up cap space. Front ended contracts at 500k pa are likely to be 200-250k at the end of their deals. Ain’t an issue at all, and they’ve probably already been paid 2 years worth.

They already try with Free Agency.

I agree entirely. Free agency, regardless of how it’s designed, tends to benefit the clubs around the mark at the time. The Pre Season draft piece was a mechanism to help lower placed clubs gain access to experience. Ironically, as the pendulum shifted more and more to free agency assisting...

Some of you blokes are just completely disrespectful. Suggesting his concussions are a result of feather hits, that he is a mess - how the hell would you know. And who are you to judge what the definition of a mess is? Look under the hood at your own lives. The bloke gives 100 percent and...

Phark me he was an above average footballer - KB warriors throwing shade are so frustrating. He was a very good servant as is Luke. They’re not all superstars.

And for a downgrade of our first round pick a standard setter who will drive the LDU’s, the Scotts, the Larkeys, the Zurhaars, the Corrs, the Logues etc to really work their asses off. Who’ll model who you are to be a two time All Australian to Sheez et al and played at a club that wins...

They were cooked and were not kicking 3 in a GF. Parker 1 year removed from a 4th placing in a B&F. Higgo is a better comparison, hence pick 40 sounds about right.

Rhoodwinked This is for all the fake rumours right?

Must be something in the water at North Melbourne you think? What is it about the club that means we create good ruck men? Just curious because it’s a different development team, different ruck coaches, different footy dept. I agree that we have five this, not so certain it’s necessarily...

OK Luke Parker, let's look at this. Fact 1: Here are his career Stats, we have noone close to this in our midst, what an example-setter to bring into the club. Fact 2: In 2023 he was 4th in the Sydney B&F, pretty comfortable that he may have some decent footy left in him. Fact 3: Has...

Why would he stay? He is not a premiership player next year. But he can set a foundation somewhere else.

Love you ❤️

Sorry, my point is what did you want Parker to do? His first 2.5 quarters he was trying to nullify Andrews - not his natural role. Then he goes to Neale and kicks three in the last, admittedly in junk time, but should he just turn his toes up. Perfect example for our club to keep going no...

Jesus I hope we get someone who can drive standards for 5-8 years rather than 2-3 like Darling and Parker. Houston’s durability indicates he could easily be a core part of our next premiership quest. Imagine bringing that lot into our squad to replace Shiels and Greenwood. What’s wrong with...

This bloke will be a Cam Rayner in our next Premiership style side! Imagine that match winning piece in a contending side, with 4-5 pre seasons of development in him, completely brought in to the vision a la Bisrbane. We are so on the right track and I love that despite our mediocrity the...

Idiots. We are not basing our success on him. We are basing our success on the kids we have, the foundation that’s been set, and adding a hard bloke that still kicks 3 in a GF we can only dream of being in helps us get there. FFS Longmire asked him to take Harris Andrews out of the game. Let...

Difference is Miers, Daniels, Mannagh, Close, Jones, Stengle are all weapons with the ball. Recruiting a bloke who doesn’t show that but is a great defensive mid seems like a waste. As proven above it’s possible to do both and if Konstanty is defence first as is Payne, let’s take a punt on...

Phark me really? There are roughly 10 drafts over the span of the players in the comp. If you can get a top 50 player, even top 100, for 5-7 years, with known knowns about what they can bring - you take that over a speculative pick with where we are at. We have enough speculative talent and a...
