Does that mean Jacob disagrees or is actually pondering the idea on merit?

Reckon he might agree with Uber.

Also, maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, but Caddy is putting a bit of north content out lately, wonder if he he is hinting to the club.

It certainly seems that way doesn't it.

With that previous statement, you are a brave man, and for that, I salute you

 

[ferball]

I think you got hammered before watching the show.

Yes ... seems obvious doesn't it.

The romantic in me always wants us to pick the BFNAAK kids.

If we take him, we must be on track for the biggest percentage of bfnaak listed players in memory.
Father sons, Xerri, Berg, Goater? And so on.

There isn't enough beer in the world for anyone to R***** Caro and I'm 54

Good to see some interesting ideas being floated.
But if I'm the AFL, I'm asking how the addition of an 18 year old inside midfielder, even one of Sanders talents, will make North more competitive next year.
And if I'm truthful, I'm not sure what the answer to that is.

Is there footage of him running inside the D50? Tackling with intent? Just generally playing like it's actually flipping important to be competitive? If he ticks any or all of the boxes, we bloody need him and his TAS NGA mate.

Certificate of Aboriginality? Is there such a thing? Never heard of it before.

Hasn't there been some dirtbags in the past claim to be indigenous to get benefits, an abominable thing to do IMO......it makes sense to have to prove it.

Not even enough beer to joke about it

 

[LB2Snake]

Sound logic and fair points. Seem your post lines up with most of my theory, then I tend to agree.

I know there's no real date/cutoff for the PP application, but things definitely seem to be moving in the background. Ralph's increased mentions of PP in recent weeks certainly speaks to that.

As I said, I think it's a case of either we've been told, or we feel, that we can only get Sanders because of the AFL and certain clubs getting shitty if we go with two top ten draftees as preselection.

It is no surprise to some that Sydney are the ones putting up the biggest stink about us and the PP preselection.

Hilarious that we should GAF what other clubs think.....they could all care less about North

 

[LB2Snake]

No-one else was smart enough to take advantage of it as we did > hence > " North might play in 5 straight grand finals and actually win some ! Shut it down, shut it down now " !

Yeah bit like the Fitzroy merger. We got shafted on that too and did all the leg work.

Uber Roo: Talk dirty to me.
Caro: In my opinion Kevin Bartlett should have won the 74 Brownlow Medal.
Uber Roo: Keep going.
Caro: It’s my firm belief the Gold Coast package was an offer too good to refuse.
Uber Roo: More.
Caro: My sources indicate that the North Melbourne Football club will relocate to Tasmania.
Uber Roo: I'm so close.
Caro: I believe Alastair Clarkson will coach the Essendon Football Club.
Uber Roo: Oh… oh…

Anyone got the good oil on ryan saunders?

I have a hypothesis on McKercher not being mentioned in the article, besides it possibly being an oversight by the author.

At a guess, I would say that we feel that we can only get one NGA preselection (if we applied via priority pick), or clubs (Sydney) would get ultra shitty that we preselected two top 10 draftees (also we aren't GC). Therefore, we are looking at just Sanders. The fact that we are asking for Sanders as an NGA shows that our priority pick application isn't far off and that we really want preselection (as opposed to picks). If Sanders is cleared for the NGA, then that indicates that our priority pick application has been greenlit and Sanders will be in North colours next year.

Ideally it would be both players, but I get why we would only go for Sanders.

We can always just pick McKercher with pick 2 or McKay compo pick anyway. Why not have both?

Does Hawforn have some NGA / Tassie thing going on after being there for years before us ?

Nope, they’re zoned to Gippsland.

That tells you all you need to know about the afl
A side that has been in Tassie longer than us and they get a fruitful zone - while we get Death Valley
