Shiels will be an assistant coach as soon as he retires. Almost certainly why he came in the first place and probably expected to already be doing it now.

I think you're right regarding Biggie, for simplicity I just kept it to 2024 out of contract players.

I agree it feels like this is a likelihood, but will be interesting to see how we make it happen. We're at capacity in terms of our AFL coaches, so who do you reckon he pushes out?
- Won't be Patch (midfield).
- Unlikely to be Jed Adcock (backline).
- Obviously he isn't a ruck coach so won't be Monkhorst.
- Can't see him being a forward line coach so won't be Xavier Clarke.
- Michael Barlow's #2 in the development coach team (Adam Marcon) was only appointed late 2023 so unlikely to be him.
- Won't be Emma Kearney as she's NMFC royalty and earmarked for big things.
Coaching structure is flexible isn't it? Plenty of clubs don't just have one coach for each line. They just have to pay him and he can fit into whatever role.

Structure is flexible but the soft-cap isn't. I am led to believe we're right up against ours.

Shiels has stated his desire to work in List Management, that's why he came to the club, the promise of future work in that area. He worked with the List Management team leading up to the draft last season and is doing so again this season.

He's not going into coaching.
"A self-confessed footy fanatic, Shiels will combine his love for recruiting and list management with a leadership role guiding the young Kangaroos group.
I want to get into recruiting and list management and there was an opportunity to do that here at North Melbourne, and as the talks progressed, there was an opportunity to play a bit of footy and help educate these young players coming through."
Luke Jackson is the counter argument to that.

Unfortunately, Curtis Taylors injury has put him in the gun.
I cant see Cooper getting a go to be honest. Hate to say it..

Sadly, I think you might be right.
One of the really nice things about the obvious improvements in Team performance is how many of our young players are stepping up. Really gives me hope that after more than a decade we have the right development people in place.
It also gives me great confidence that if we decide to retain or part ways with a player it will be the right decision.

How long did hrovot and tom dyson stick around on the vfl list for?
Well at least he got a shot, nearly played as many games at nmfc as his uncle.

Not long enough for father / son as far as I can determine.
There will need to be 7 players delisted if the AFL change our additional primary list spots. Cooper might get 1 year.. he’s not in my 7
Only two extra rookie spots were given. We can go 36 main and 6 rookies or 37-5 or 38-4 if they take them off us.
True, but we currently have 46 on the list because we took two at the MSD to cover long term injuries.
Yep I know. 37 main and 9 rookies (7 plus 2 MSD). K Dawson upgrade gives us 38 main and 8 rookies.
At least 4-6 off the primary and 3-5 off the rookie list will be the balancing act.
Do LTI's not count as part of the primary list?
Yes. Though we could possibly push CCJ back to the rookie list if we needed to.
Apparently we don't have to upgrade Kal for another year.

This is an idea. If we delist CCJ with the intention of rookie listing him, another club could "Hugh Greenwood" him like what happened to Gold Coast. They could even exact revenge and do it themselves. Gee, that would make my blood boil if they pulled that stunt!
I guess technically it would be his 3rd year of contract as a rookie so you could well be right.
That means Teakle/Payne/Maley/Dawson stay on the rookie and decision of keeping one more and/or River Stevens.
not to mention our own in Capuano, Hale, H, Goldy, and Campbell getting opportunities at other clubs. There is always a ruck merry go round,,,,hell just just look at Grundy's moves.
