the dockers got jeremy sharp for free and we paid for this guyAnother Brady Rawlings desperation call.
Surely there is enough evidence now that the bloke is s**t at his job?
The ironic part is the player has never been more protected.Agree . I watched him live at Sandy & kept thinking what did we see in this cat .
He’s as s**t scared in the VFL too . Clearly helped in a few opposition goals due to his uncertainty with the footy thinking someone’s about to crunch him with a tackle but in fact he was on his own by 5M on those occasions .
Once a cat always a cat …
Will not grow courage over & has little pain barrier .
I can only imagine the guys we have traded in are the only ones willing to come.Another Brady Rawlings desperation call.

What about those in state leagues, delisted players etc.I can only imagine the guys we have traded in, are the only ones willing to come.
I cringe every time a new guy comes in and the first take is that he has fitted in well with the group. I immediately think just another washed up player fattening up his super.Hearing he's a "nice" guy.
Totally opposite of what this team needs right now.
We need a few hard arse pr1cks to come in & shake things up.
Yeah better disposal than Scott in general but Scott goes harder.ouft. I’ll get shot for this. But I actually recall seeing some good signs of his run more so coming off the wing into the forward line in his last north game.
I feel he is a bit more aggressive with acceleration than Scott, quicker, as soft and scared but perhaps more accurate going inside 50. When he has space he looked quite good actually. Where when Scott has space running inside 50 you know it’s going to get intercepted, kicked over the guys head by two meters or far right on the full.
Seriously, desperate times call for desperate measures. Also we have to meet the minimum salary cap requirements, which I find strange. How can a club that can't win a game be expected to pay 95 % of the cap. We should be paying 40% max .Thing is though, if we can all see it, what is North Recruitment doing?

We're front end loading contractsSeriously, desperate times call for desperate measures. Also we have to meet the minimum salary cap requirements, which I find strange. How can a club that can't win a game be expected to pay 95 % of the cap. We should be paying 40% max .
And then add in ALL clubs think that can make a player better, a fair whack of arrogance at AFL level. And actually also at volunteer VFL level if you follow the work of an occassional poster on this forum .
Oh well indeed
No way.ouft. I’ll get shot for this. But I actually recall seeing some good signs of his run more so coming off the wing into the forward line in his last north game.

14… believe mate. Its not all doom n gloom.Implies we'll kick 12 goals in the VFL
I was talking to a mad swans supporter yesterday arvo. He said he was soft at the swans, said he’s surprised he isn’t playing ones as he was a good link up runner but said he was always soft.He wasn't anywhere near as soft at the Swans.
Bailys kicking this year has been below his standard which was average at best going into 2024. Its flat out awful.ouft. I’ll get shot for this. But I actually recall seeing some good signs of his run more so coming off the wing into the forward line in his last north game.

Culture is talked about a lot around our club recently. You have a bunch of fringe players who work hard (I guess), who are in and out of the team and over one off season an absolute cat is brought into the club on a 4 year deal (I would be surprised if its over 500k, the talk of 700 is absolute bollocks).Seriously, desperate times call for desperate measures.

This is not good for club culture, it would create divide.
The TPP should be looked at for future clubs who are down the bottom for significant periods of time. Probably a bit late for us now but this should be a case study for the AFL.
in addition if our club was paying at 75% its essentially a massive carrot dangling for better performance standards.
TAO, you’re right and I agree. Its utter bollocks
Combining the salary cap and football department spending would be worth looking at. So if you have lots of developing/cheap players, you can spend more on coaching and development (and recruitment).FWIW, I totally agree on the min % TPP obligation (which is no doubt a bargaining position of the AFLPA). It leads to fringe players being paid way over their worth, which in turn means your ability to move them on becomes totally compromised. I'm sure it was at the heart of why the Suns had to gift Jack Bowes and pick 7 to that year's premier Geelong for next to nothing just so they could clean up their salary cap for some decent footballers.
The bargain chip is we have a > % of fund distribution. Thats the counter argument, the share in revenue. We’d have to give up the equal share in afl revenue.Combining the salary cap and football department spending would be worth looking at.

At least we can breathe easy on Mad Monday. That seems to be a high priority at Arden St.Sick and tired of nice and boring players
