Yeah I prefer Wardlaw vs Rachele and 2023 pick next year myself as well from a deal point of view on paper.I'd argue we got more out of him by still taking the year. Crows offer pre draft was not as generous as implied giving picks going back the other way. We wrangled 2 picks in the top few players (fair chance the 2 we rated highest) and a return pick back. Only time will tell but it's a decent haul on paper for putting up with a year of bullshit.
Meh. I reckon old man Fabian had in his head the seed of the plan from even before we drafted him to get him over to Poort. JHF played a couple of games with us, saw how shit we were, copped a pasting from Nobles, had a whinge to old man Fabian, and the plan was put in motion. He was never going to the Crows. From the moment he came up against long-term adversity, he wanted out, and that was that. Get the clout and prestige of being the first pick, then jump ship to old man Fabian's team.Guys we farked up with JHFF he couldn't fill in any forms he had NFI. Now I'm actually not bagging him. Clearly, a young fella that had zero life experience and we didn't show him the care he needed.
The first time he opened his mouth if you didn't know that he was not the sharpest tool in the shed, you're also not the sharpest tool in the shed.
He complained about having sore legs and we put it down to him being an unfit campaigner. Like Wardlaw.
Port sent him to a specialist.
We didn't cover ourselves in glory.
I think that Horne did contribute to North finishing 18th last season. Despite a few wrapping up his six possession games, he was pretty ordinary for most of the games he played and I'd think that if his attitude caused other problems between players or with the coach then it stands to reason.We didn't get Sheezel or George out of it, that's just people on here trying to make themselves feel even better about the situation
66 home games in 3 seasons? 22 home games a year? Cheating scum played every game at home! This is an outrage! Strip thier points and force them into last place for the year!Its foolish to base anything on the 1st round of the season. Having said that they have won 41 out 66 H&A games the last 3 seasons. Everyone is just hoping they fall apart again like last year.
again it isnt that, its wardlaw and 2023 port first vs rachele and 2022 pick 6 crows pick they gave up for rankine (Humphrey or philipou most likely)Yeah I prefer Wardlaw vs Rachele and 2023 pick next year myself as well from a deal point of view on paper.
Plan was set up before we drafted him -why else didn’t he want to go to the crows.Meh. I reckon old man Fabian had in his head the seed of the plan from even before we drafted him to get him over to Poort. JHF played a couple of games with us, saw how s**t we were, copped a pasting from Nobles, had a whinge to old man Fabian, and the plan was put in motion. He was never going to the Crows.

We didn't cover ourselves in glory but the lad was a cancer if what I was told about his tenure was true. I think it is true because of CZ's post and Jason's public argument with Goldy. He's an absolute gun at footy who will have a successful career at Poort, but an attitude that makes it extra difficult to play on a s**t team, a short temper, and a wife-beating stepdad with whom he (allegedly) has a relationship comprising half respect, half s**t-scaredness meant the odds were always stacked against him when he was with us. I'd have preferred to have not had him at all rather than lose him after a season and subject ourselves to the media's bullshit (Barrett's sucking of the campaigner's blond pubes is particularly pathetic), but objectively, we got Wardlaw and a first-rounder out of the deal. We didn't get Sheezel or George out of it, that's just people on here trying to make themselves feel even better about the situation, but the club did well given the circumstances it found itself in.
He's water under the bridge and he and his stepdad are 90% to blame for what went down last year. North 10% to blame at most
If only we'd picked Tsatas hey.again it isnt that, its wardlaw and 2023 port first vs rachele and 2022 pick 6 crows pick they gave up for rankine (Humphrey or philipou most likely)
rachele plus humphrey is pretty good value for jhf
He is another that wardlaw will be compared against, lets see who ends up better hopefully wardlawIf only we'd picked Tsatas hey.

nah their offer was still slightly better
essentially rachele and pick 6 in last years draft which they gave to gc who took bailey humphrey
rachele and Humphrey vs wardlaw and ports future first
what makes you say that?In this scenario it's likely we don't draft Goater or Curtis.
what makes you say that?
crows also offered dees first for our second rounder (the media loved to spin it as 3 firsts for JHF when really our second rounder going back the other way cancelled it out pretty much) so we would just take goater there a few picks higher, curtis we would just take with the second rounder that we did
fair pointWe definitely don't take Rachele and Curtis in the same draft.
They are very similar players, so if we take Rachele at 6, we're looking elsewhere later in the draft.
How the heck is their offer " slightly better"?nah their offer was still slightly better

Bazzo, maybe. But if they were still picking best available and thought that was Curtis, they’d probably take him anyway even if he is similar to Rachele.fair point
probably go tall at that curtis pick
pretty simpleHow the * is their offer " slightly better"?
All clubs tried to get inside the top 5 at draft time.

Word on the street is that George is that 'explosive' his nickname around the club is Abu Bakr al- Bagdadi.
( I can say that because today I am identifying as a Middle Eastern swarthy type.)
You see Nostra and I mean you'd know I suppose as future reading is your thing.
While we have great ball-winning abilities we still are a tad one-paced in the guts
1.Cunners
2.Phillips
3.Simpkin
4.Powell
So I think when we team LDU with Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi aka George we will improve even further.
You know I'm correct
pretty simple
adelaides offer was pick 6 2022 plus future first which also ended up pick 6 (and swap of dees first for our second which cancel each other out)
vs pick 4 and port future first which is not looking great
humphrey was just who was taken at the pick we could have taken phillipou for examplewe had picks 3 and 4, so one could argue we had two picks at 3 because we could pick the two players we wanted without fear of missing one of them.
So you just totally disregard the fact clubs wanted to be inside the top 5 for the farking 2022 draft. You'd just go oh Adelaide's offer was better.
Our club wanted Sheezel and Wardlaw and go them both. Humphrey sounds like a beauty for GC, just not the type we currently need. Speed is our biggest weakness.
I used to work with an Egyptian guy. Occasionally, as we'd be heading to Southern Cross station the train would pull onto the platform and I'd say that we should make a dash to try and catch it. His response: "You go on ahead if you like. if the crowd on the platform see a Muslim guy wearing a backpack making a dash there's going to be mass panic and I'll probably be shot by security".I can say that because today I am identifying as a Middle Eastern swarthy type.
Sounds like he's thought this through. Suspicious IMO.I used to work with an Egyptian guy.
