Trac wasnt picked at 1, he was picked at 2. Weitering is a really good player, but not top 20-30 in the comp good. Rayner is just that, an above average player. McGrath is a back pocket, and Rowell for all the early hype, is yet to produce anything of note.
I'm not saying that these players aren't good, nor that having pick 1 is a bad thing, it's just that pick 1 gets valued very, very highly, and the evidence would suggest that on average the player picked at 1 over the past 20 odd years hasnt produced anything better than say 2 top 10 picks

If we don't play finals next year I reckon more players will start wanting out. Laughing at North's misfortune is a bit like the cross-eyed kid beating up the kid who pisses himself.
You have to feel sorry for them. The Hawks paid Clarko $1 million pa to not coach them and rumours that Essendon heard of the fall out before taking Clarko on....something smells funny. North walked in to a nuclear shit storm. Now players abandoning like rats.

I'd like to get him too, his old man John Georgiadis was a star for my WAFL team Subiaco back when we won the last legit WAFL premiership in 1986.
IMO Norf should take them to the cleaners. This might be a saving grace for them to re boot their season. They should be asking for:
#8 + #27 + F1st + Sinn
Then look at trading this years 1st.
1 top 10,
1 pick in the 11-20,
2 picks in the 21-35

Maybe the club would think of allowing him to fly home once on either side of the bye for a couple of days? I’d be thinking about doing that If it helps him.

The way things are going these days we’ve got 1 year to get our Sh/t together. The bottom clubs are dropping away badly with this generation of kids coming thru that want instant success . The top clubs are getting better and better.
We can go either way and we need to sell ourselves and not end up another Kangaroos.

In all honesty, Jones is probably the only player on our list that won't continuously take sh*t from opposition players and will give it back just as good. If he has a good year next year, goes along way to helping us make the 8
Yeah , he is a good player when right , just hope he gets it together next year.

if NWM does ask to go back home, would his preferred club be Port?
Port would only be able to trade a player wouldn't they due to the AFL making you take a minimum of one 1st round pick over 3 years (I think that's what it is)
if they do give up 2 first for JHF they would either have to trade in a 1st round pick, or offer a good player (ie georgiades, butters, dursma, rozee etc)
If he is homesick, then trade him to the Crows who could probably offer something better

If that’s even remotely on the radar why not just sit down with the guy and say look hear you’re homesick, not happy here whatever….is that likely to be the case moving forward if yes we are happy to deal now
NWM will be a gun - he’s out of contract next year so aren’t we better flushing this out now?
He gets paid too much from the AFL to stay up there……. For now!
If they were worried about losing NWM to homesickness they never would’ve drafted him

Does anyone really think Ben King will ever play at Saints?

Carlton getting Acres who we gave up for peanuts and now people here are talking about us taking one of their reject midfielders like Stocker or Dow.
We are going backwards.

Stocker.
He’s contracted. Gold Coast would simply say ‘no’.
It’s reported that the Bowes situation is still up in the air with Geelong and Hawks as the frontline players for him. Followed by Bombers and North.
We aren’t mentioned in chasing him, which makes me think
what have we got up our sleeve?
We obviously have the cap.

This is just perfect. Couldn't stop laughing. It is so relevant for many people I know over here, I'm going to have to steal it on you.

Imagine if Port Adelaide give North pick 8. North pick up Phillipou. Phillipou asks for a trade back to Adelaide next year.
