Larkey's contract with North expires at the end of the 2024 season. Presumably clubs will be sounding his management out now, encouraging him to forgo signing an extension and outlining their plans for him.
Now you’re talking. The sell from us compared to North should be pretty compelling.
We should throw him a big fishing line with some very enticing bait on it
It’s better than not investing in them at all I guess
Interestingly, Cam Zurhaar is also out of contract at the end of 2024. Him and Larkey I think are housemates, or very close. Doubt that we'd be able to afford both, but I've always been impressed with Zurhaar's skillset, even if he is a little inconsistent (although he is only 25 years old).
Zurhaar is really good mates with Bruzzy too
It's not, Victorian talent way down from normal so there's your indicator.
I like Zurhaar. He and Larkey would make a nice pair in black and white.
Yes... and if he was available Geelong would be all over him. Some nice retirement villages diwn this way
Rate him!!, he would be my number 1 target - the kid is a gun and yes the ultimate swingman. If we can land him it would be huge for us
We never highlight the commercial endorsements well enough in our negotiations. Eg. why would you play for GWS or North in front of 8,000-40,000 fans screaming your name when you can have, at a bare minimum 50,000+ at the G twice a year? That's 50,000 people who'll be more likely to show up and promote your personal image. It makes such good sense to play for us. And then there's the merch, social media deals, etc that can follow. Hard to see North Melbourne's stars getting a huge turnout when they visit people regardless of their talent.
Zurhaar is alright but he's a bit hot-headed. Larkey is the one I'd be after. I don't know why North is as bad as they are with the list they have - it's not too shabby.
We, the supporters, probably don't know what the club & the players' managers highlight in negotiations. I'm sure those things you mentioned are a big part of it.
They have played extremely well in the past 3 weeks, it's only bad luck & a few dodgy umpiring decisions that they didn't win against Swans & Bombers.
It wasn't really touched on in Stan's Show Me the Money but I do know cars, jobs for partners, houses and post-career options are common carrots.
We can't have two HHs on the list, anyway.
Get HH and Parish and we are set.

Was he really a swingman? I thought GWS switched him down back because he was stinking it up, up forward.
All players know the crowd Collingwood get, not to mention being in 2 of the best matches of the year, Anzac Day & Kings Birthday.
I know but how many really can comprehend it? It's the closest you can get to that Grand Final atmosphere without being in a Grand Final.
I didn't want to over do it but you know I really want him. he's a gun and I don't care what the other so called experts say
