We'll carry on. I mean, we've come through much bigger challenges than this.

But there's no doubt that after last year, this is a ******* shocking look for the footy club in every sense. We're going to seriously need to do some excellent PR work over the next couple of days.

There's every chance it could put doubts in other players' minds as well when they look at coming to North.

I get that everybody is very disappointed - I am too. However, I don’t understand the headlong rush to “the sky is falling, we’re a laughing stock” position. In no instance has any player chosen another club over North. On all occasions, they have decided to stay with their own respective clubs, who they’ve had long and successful associations with. If Gaff/Kelly/Dusty/De Goeyhad chosen St Kilda, then I’d understand.

Major brand damage for us. Martin, Kelly, now Gaff say GAGF. Something is wrong with the way we negotiate so publicly. I hope Brad's promise of a surprise this week is worth waiting for.

No it is not. I don't get why people think our brand is damaged. We had a shot. So did other clubs, but we got closest.

There is no shame in missing out on a footballer from another club, who obviously was torn by which way to go.

If anything I think our club shows itself up, as it has in other situations, as being praiseworthy for having the intestinal fortitude to have a go.

For some reason or other gk, you always leap at the first opportunity to suggest we are, for wont of a better term, an "embarrassment", which we are not. There are enough outsiders ready, willing and able, to stick the boots in when they get the chance. We don't need you and others, mostly unheard of North BF posters, joining in.
 
Wouldn't have the currency to get it done and he wouldn't fill a need well enough for what we'd need to pay.

We'd be better off pinning Paul Connors up against a wall and saying twice in two f***ing years?

You make Kelly happen this year.
 
Another thing I realised is that Hartung was delisted and Ryan Clarke will be traded. Add to that every single young player we have being delisted and we go into next year with roughly 12 list spots open and currently - not a single winger on the list. I guess Morgan is playing Rd 1...
 
I have been watching this thread religiously over the last week or so, like most of us.

I am bitterly disappointed that he is not coming. But what occurs to me is that if he was that torn, and is willing to renege on an agreement that he presumably made, at the last minute, knowing knowing it would cause a bit of mockery to fall on the club that essentially offered to secure his future, then he is not the type of person I want running around in blue and white. Everyone forecast disaster when Dusty back flipped, and the same forecasts will happen today, but we keep on going strong. And if you are feeling miserable, just go and watch “Keeping North South” to remind yourself of how great our club is.
Except we are now we are looking at 4 games in Tassie and 'keeping North north.'
