I feel he is heading this way.
That's the gauge I got from Joyce the other day on SEN...and that I was telling my dad earlier that it won't surprise me if we are looking at him.

Personally I do not want him or any of them. I'm more interested in giving Matty Hanson a crack.

Hartungs player ratings from 2017. Bit up and down, but there's some decent performances amongst it and he looked like he was a bit more consistent towards the end of the year. Still not sold though, does he have any upside or is this his level? If it is, i wouldn't bother.


Linked well off a wing and provided good run when required. 21 possessions and a goal a handy contribution.6

3Senior emergency.
4GeelWet rag sort of performance. Just doesn’t hurt opposition when he gets the pill. One clearance and two inside-50s.3
5WCEToo cute at times with disposal and decisions, but won his fair share of ball to play a role.6
6StK12 touches, but little impact overall. Needs to start hurting opponents with his speed. Just doesn’t do it right now.5
7MelbProvided run off a wing and was pivotal in helping side get out to a lead in first half with 13 disposals. 7

11VFLSix inside 50s and 21 touches on the day. Okay but didn’t set the world on fire.-

13Bye.
14AdelWon 17 uncontested possessions and hurt the Crows with his leg speed and outside run.6
15CollTheme continued. Wins ball but second guesses himself at times and skills let him down.5
16GWS25 possessions and five inside 50’s. Didn’t catch the eye and ¾ of his touches were uncontested.4
17GeelRun and carry was a concern to the Cats all afternoon; 22 disposals, three inside-50s and 355 metres gained.7
18FremGave the team some run and collected 20 possessions.6
19Syd15 disposals off the bench, played his part.6
20RichRunning link player got a lot of his 17 possessions backward of centre. Loves to **** it up at times. 4
21NMProductive afternoon with 26 disposals and a goal. One of his better games for the year.6
22CarlProvided a game highlight with a 6 bounce dash in the second term. Played one of his best games for the club. 8
23WBWingman found enough of the TW Sherrin and importantly didn’t butcher it like he can; 23 possessions.

Cheers. Strong finish. I say get him in. Takes Gibsons position. Doesn't work out then we delist him.
 
He's a bloke with no position.

Can't play as a mid. Not quick enough to stay forward and be a goal sneak. Not big enough to impact physically.

He's a brown-haired Ben Warren.

So he's Ben McKinley!?

Round 21 played well against us.
Welcome to North Billy.....
 
Seems to me that we have delisted a lot of players - a couple of which surprised me - and now have a fair few list spots to fill.

It doesn't make sense to me for us to fill those list spots with draftees this year, ie using 5th and 6th round picks, when we are clearly planning to fill our boots next year.

Therefore I'm open to drafting a few DFA's on 1 year contracts to tide us over. And if we're doing so then for me the FazRaz principle applies - I want blokes who are mature enough to accept their lot in life, are at least hard at it (even if limited), can cop with playing a lot of VFL and be a bit of a mentor to the kids there, are prepared to run both ways and can come in and play a role if our depth is tested through injuries.

So yeah, basically 2016 FazRaz, who I thought came to the club with little respect and left with a lot.

Unless they have a remarkable career renaissance in 2018, they'd be sacrificed at the alter of the 2019 draft. But in the meantime a player or two like that could be more valuable than a long shot kid taken deep in the draft IMO.

The Faz-raz of this year is Wellingham imo. I've always liked him and still think he has a fair bit to give, but if we were going down that route why didnt we just keep Mullett??

Wouldn't mind Wellingham. He fits the FazRaz bill - even has the silly name.

Yeah, agree on Mullett. I would have kept him. Worst case scenario he'd look good in the royal blue and white at Arden Street (still haven't got used to how awesome it is that we have a North Melbourne team playing at Arden Street again!). But here we are, I guess.

I have a funny feeling we had a conversation with Gibbo that he'd be relegated to a Fazraz style role and he told us to GTFO. Nekminit...

Hansen suffered from toomanykidsvyingforhisspotitis. (If you can figure out what I just wrote you get to kick Damien Barrett in the ding ding). Sacrificed for the good of the future or something like that. Oh well.

Perhaps Swallow is being groomed to live at Casa de Faz next year. Dunno. He'd smash the Liston if so.

Finally....LT. God I hope the Port rumours are shit. I hope he says get stuffed, I have a year left on my contract and I'm gonna goddamn prove to you all that at the end of that contract you're gonna offer me another 3 years on account of how damn good I was in 2018. I hope he tells the club he's not going to Port just like how the club told the AFL it wasn't going to the Gold Coast, and then does a North and delivers on that in 2018.

Go Lindsay, make em wish they'd never even thought of shipping you off.

End rant.
