So it’s the people at the club talking it up like it’s definite that we should be mad at? I want to know who it is at the club that has no idea how to read a negotiation.

Our club is being run by idiots and they need to be held to account.

If the instance is true that decisions were made on other players then I agree to a degree, even if we have a week of verbal agreements we don't have a player until he has ink on a contract and is holding up his guernsey.

The people relaying the info they've heard aren't to blame though, I know factually some of them have very good sources. For some within the club it's a lesson in counting chickens.

It appears we need some warnings at the start of each new thread for our snowflakes.

 

[Benno_900]

Why the **** aren't we in for Kelly this season?

What is waiting one year going to achieve? He will not be a free agent anyway.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

lol

What's your problem Dan? Do you truly believe that no-one who posts on this forum knows anyone who works at NMFC? Does it not occur to you that people who love NMFC are involved with or related to people in the club? And that they enjoy talking with other North supporters on this forum?

It comes across as petulant, even ignorant, that you refuse to acknowledge the possibility. It's almost like since you don't have any inside word, then you're just not willing to accept anyone else does.

You can’t do it. First time draftees are on fixed contracts. It would be draft tampering. Additional Services Agreements and handshake promises to extend at a higher rate from year 3 is all you can do.

So we draft tampered with LDU changing his contract from a 2 year one to a 4 year contract? I hope the AFL who approved it don't find out... :stern look

 

[Gasometer]

Oh and one last thing..

Remember Josh Kelly’s Dig next year!

 

[shinboner magic]

You don’t need to wear anything mate.
Neither does GR, or anyone else for that matter.
The sources and the mail that came through were consistent and as accurate as possible and nothing changes my opinion of that.

The issue going forward is we still can’t close deals as a club and have to front up to the same fight again with Connors and Kelly.
Club earns their keep now

Last chance saloon for brad and Joyce next off season - they can’t land kelly and they should fall on their sword

 

[The Nostradamus]

1. Josh Kelly
2. Wingard
3. Setterfield
4. Billings

In that order for this year, at least get one now with some of the money we thought we were going to give gaff

Any chance Will Brodie wants to come home, if so add him to the list

So i resisted bigfooty all day, and come back to this mess.

I have never been comfortable with poaching best players from other clubs. Screw them. Organic growth with roos people. I'm still very happy with the way our club is developing without taking this mentally fragile thug.

 

[Kanga1996]

I can't stay mad at you bb

Same, now go find out what’s going on with Kelly

I'm embarrassed it's all turned out like this, but I'll wear it. Rain, hail or shine.

But won't cop talking down GR, he got one of our players out of a suspension this year ffs. The disrespect is shithouse, take aim at me or some of the others.

It is a Hope industry. No hard feelings from me to anyone, especially GR.
I hope the jelly fallacy will to be knocked on its head. You don't offer someone a cigarette twice, and at urinals it is a four shake maximum or you are wanking - wisdom from my deceased grandfather. My point is that different people have different moral codes. Pressure makes people behave in ways that they wish they hadn't. Have appreciated the blow by blow.
By my reckoning we will go into round one with eighteen players on the field ( unless we play the swans in round one).

Chin up.

Keep up the good work

Got this back from Nick.

 

[archereleven]

Is it apparent that WC upped their offer or is it an excuse we can use to make us feel better that he didnt sign with us?

No one has got a ****ing clue

That's the only thing apparant...

Then name the player.

You are a journo - not a club official.

He treads a fine line. Weird.

I think what gave it away for me was when we made a string of re-signings mid week.

Wright, Anderson, Dumont, Thompson.

Would this not indicate that Gaff informed the club he would be staying at the Eagles? If Gaff came to us it would potentially mean Wright or Thompson doesn't get offered a new contract and perhaps Froggy and Jed earn a little less.

Because of Kelly?

Edit: I was joking btw

 

[Phillyroo]

Sorry all... feel pretty flat about this one.

 

[kaboom kid]

Eh? Why you quoting me on this?

Sorry, mistake

He wants the full scoop, contract trade terms, likely success, all that before committing to it

I knew that, but it's interesting that there's someone else in play.

I wonder if by chance one of the ITK posters here is not just a run of the mill poster like the vast majority of us, but actually a club official who has been part of the negotiations with the Gaffster? Just saying.
