[The Prosecutor]

I’m not that confident re Bowes after reading this

I don't know why Bowes would agree to that, he would effectively be playing two years for free.

Agree.

But if true, it nullifies a huge advantage we’d have.

 

[rusman]

Not ideal article lol. The good news is that it didn’t look to have any quotes. So could simply be a leak from the post cats or post hawks interview.

like from one of these teams on what they offered.

 

[tha Freak]

Bowes has nominated Geelong, so one less problem to worry about.

 

[TheGrizz]

The reason he is owed 850k per year is because GCS kept pushing his salary back ala-Treloar style at Collingwood.

I can't see why he would agree to it again.

Where is that reported?

 

[tha Freak]

Sorry, the source has apologised and removed post saying it was unreliable. Usually a good source of info.

It’s not that phoney ITK on Twitter is it?

John Doe strikes again

 

[Corleone]

Scott from the Lunchtime catch up podcast tweeted about it based off this tweet. Scott has since deleted his tweet stating that this isn't a reliable source of information.

I must admit, I think John Doe is correct (based off nothing but gut feel btw), and I think a lot of these IKR twitter accounts and those on this platform just throw darts

 

[DERO]

Better to be first than accurate?

 

[Corleone]

And things just keep getting better at North

 

[DERO]

May as well just relocate them to Tassie.

John Doe said he ruled us out 1.5 weeks ago without meeting with us, yet we are still somehow in the race.

The guy has a history of guessing and then shooting from the hip, followed by deleting tweets that aren't right.... which is most of them.

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Probably the best thing for both parties tbh

 

[citizen-erased]

Probably the best thing for both parties tbh

yeah.
just cut the cord. we f'd that up with Joey.

not the worst outcome. yes, they turned down 6, 6 & 14, but they'll probably land 8 this year and 12 next.

 

[eth-dog]

So North could have had (post bids) pick 6 last year, pick 6 this year and pick 15/16 this year for Horne-Francis and pick 19.

That's Ablett junior territory.

i Would go 2023 first and ask for players

 

[doug85]

I like it

 

[Vander18]

North should send him off - we learned the hard way, no point wasting time with players who don’t want to be at your club.

There is no sporting competition in the world that sees its players so adamant about playing at home. It’s starting to undermine the national comp. You’d think long and hard about using a high pick on an interstater these days….

 

[Lore]

But Scott said he wasn't interested in filling short-term positional needs or topping up with mature-aged players to quickly rise up the ladder.

Short term positional needs… I don’t think we’ve ever not done that.

I guess long term positional needs are okay though? Like a Caldwell or maybe Bowes, young guy with 10-15 years in front of him and plays in a gap that we have no depth or promising kids that might fill it in future?

 

[citizen-erased]

i Would go 2023 first and ask for players

who though
Pick 8 is a good one this year.
If they happen to land Bowes too, that's 1, 7 & 8 plus Bowes in and i imagine a top 10 pick next year.

it's interesting, as we have kids. So i'd argue we could do with some short term positional targets (i.e. a CHF and CHB) to allow the kids time to develop then come through
We could do with another mid or two as well, plus a small forward who is less Guelfi/Snelling. I.e. Junior Rioli.

We're in a tricky one in that we miss/lack the experience from the picks we lost in 2013 and 2014 (though i'd argue 2014 is largely mitigated with Wright) & from the 3 years of heavy trades.
Add to that, we haven't drafted an absolute gun a la Cripps, Bont, Petracca, etc.

Pick 7 aside, i'd really like Bowes to put another kid into the side who has age and games both in him and ahead of him.
