On the flip side, would you trade Koby Stevens and Gerrick Weedon (who?) for NDS for 2-4 yrs? Which is basically the 2 picks that West Coast had around that region.

There's no guarantee we would get Busta and Black types for those two picks.

We all know Bryce would not F... up like that.

Your petulance has been first class to read this past week.

and it hasn't even been hard work, back in the early days on bigfooty when there were no club boards my petulance was used on those who supported all the other teams that are sh.t, now I just get to come in here and enjoy my time with my fellow North fans.

but on a bright note, I have been won over and I am happy to have NDS join our great club, at the right price, so some in here should be extremely proud of their persuasive skills.

How much did Goddard cost Essendon in the way of picks?


**** me I'd rather not have him if we lose Delaney and our second. Two seconds, a black and Basti...or a cam Richardson and urquart? Trade our second by all means, IF it means we get one back for Luke.

Why not go after Goddard instead of Dal Santo.

I'd back our recruiters, well, that is with fresh draft targets. Don't want another Cam Richardson shocker. Who said he was going to be better than Isaac Smith?

[NDS], The three-time All-Australian this morning said although he was contracted at St Kilda for next season, he would understand if he was traded in next month's exchange period.

How do you get to be a free agent when you are contracted?

He has got a clause in his contract that if St Kilda want to trade him it's ok by him. He's on the look which is ok for him to do. But can only be traded to the choice of club that he wants to go to. He's a restricted Free Agent meaning he's contracted.

 

[B4Bear]

Could he not be used simply as an upgrade on Gibson?

Totally agree.

Gibson is such a spud.

Sheez.

 

[B4Bear]

So if our club believes we can get a second rounder for Delaney, then 2x second round picks for NDS for 2ish years? Either the talent in the draft pool drops off to chasm-like levels after the first round or that doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

If the talent pool is good would you swap Black and Bastinac for 2ish years of NDS?

Ask Melbourne how much of a good idea it is to rely on good draft picks.

The draft will get you so far, rookies will get you a bit further in the journey, trading helps just as much.

You have to give something to get something.

Are you seriously comparing us to Melbourne?

LOL, not at all.

However, their shiteness is a salutary lesson for all teams: "SCREW IT UP AND BE LIKE US"

not if that something is a FA.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Go on?

Just said Saints are making all the noises they want to trade him out and North have been all over him for months

 

[Jack Reacher]

That's a silly thing to say. Not really.

That's also a silly thing to say. Not really. Thompson is better in this role without question. Many could argue Grima is better in this role. The match committee preferred Firito more than Delaney in this role against Collingwood (although I know what rationalisation you'll give to this)

I'm all in favour of criticism where it's warranted, but yours just lacks any credibility.

I wouldn't feed that to my dog.

Didnt say he wasnt, but he ISNT a full-back in the traditional sense. Grima is a flanker as is Hansen, thats why he plays as a loose man without an opponent. The match committee had its hands tied.

In your opinion.

You're a dog owner, that sums it up really!

F***en hilarious, you lose all credibility with such a dumbarse comment, but yeah f***en hilarious.

Yep, anybody less than 200cm is definitely a flanker. I remember when we had a 192cm Wayne Carey playing CHF, gee that was a bad time! Match committee totally had its hands tied.

He might be NDS to youse. He's Nicky Dal to me (and JB).

To me he is nicky dal foreskin

 

[Mr Reliable]

I'm observing and enjoying your journey, Rooboy 96. You're going to be his number one fan by next year.

I'd say the day we take him as a FA I'll be his biggest fan, if we have to trade a young kid for him I'll be what Jack Reacher is to Tarrant.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Richmond won't have any cap space unless they offload Martin or Conca to get Nicky Dal

 

[franjon]

He wants to stay at St Kilda and do we really want Dal Santo? I think our midfield is pretty well sorted out. Our biggest worry is CHB, when Grima retires and we have Cam Delaney. He's going to be a ball tearer.
