Who has that was a first round?

Josh Caddy

Josh Caddy

Had an ill father (Wayne likes these out clauses)

Ask Keays if he got homesick, moving from BRIS .....ask any delisted Rookie, if they get homesick, if re-drafted across the country ....nope, not one case

Luke Edwards pining for family in WA ??

Why does homesickness only affect highly rated rookies .....strange phenomena that

Its for the same reason poorer people live wherever they can afford whilst the rich can pick and choose. When you are a fringe or recycled player you grab any opportunity you can. When you are a top rated kid, you can afford to be picky and choosy

Exactly .....so lets change the terminology ....instead of "Homesickness" , call it for what it is, " a Lifestyle Choice"

It'd be very AFC to pass up a prime opportunity to lure a generational 18 year old back home because he has a bit of an attitude problem.

Or it is homesickness but that is really only a select few get to remedy it

I'll bet london to a brick that we are balls deep trying to lure him back

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

After how many years ? .... 6 years ....does not qualify, under the homesickness rule, which applies in the first 2 years

Dangerfield was simply a lifestyle choice

No, Griffin was traded home for compassionate reasons.

Also who gives a shit that it was 4 years as your limit is irrelevant!

Yet we’ve now deduced that no AFL player has ever left due to home sickness. Thank you for your Ted talk.

How many Irish rookies went home?
Freeman left after a few months from us, this year.
It’s complete nonsense to say only high profile ones do it.

In general the very low profile ones leave as they're not getting a game or often even a prospect of getting onto the main list, like Freeman or most Irishmen, so may as well go home to family and friends.

The very high profile ones get "homesick" as they'll get a game and good money anywhere so may as well go home to family and friends.

The mid-grade ones risk losing their career by leaving as they're not in great demand, so they tend to go when they're out of favour at their old club in the hope of extending their career at any club that wants them. Family and friends can wait.

It's pretty wild that our club's entire strategy for attracting elite talent has been just hoping that one falls in our lap by demanding to come back here, that actually seems to be a possibility of happening, and people here would knock it back because of the exact circumstances that are necessary for that to have happened.

"We want to lure elite talent, but also we insist that the elite talent be loyal one club types with perfect character who would never allow themselves to be lured"

"We want to lure elite talent, but also we insist that the elite talent be loyal one club types with perfect character who would never allow themselves to be lured"

We offered North 3 1st rounders last year after interviewing him, we are targeting him like we targeted Dawson as early as May last year so he held of contract talk with Sydney.....likely we done the same this year.

It'd be very AFC to pass up a prime opportunity to lure a generational 18 year old back home because he has a bit of an attitude problem.

I'm certain we are trying but I think the most likely scenario is the Kangaroo's keep him. I think they will turf Noble and that will be the catalyst for him to stay. I don't think that's a reflection on our club

I do think our issue is more how appealing our club is given where we are at onfield. We are a long way off being a half decent side.

Who has that was a first round?

Cameron McCarthy, pick 14, took the year off when GWS wouldn't trade him after.

Genuine issues

 

[Scorpus]

The real strategy to get Horne-Francis is tanking so hard we finish below North next year then getting him in the PSD for nothing

 

[GameofSloanes]

taking a contrarian view purely for the exercise, what if our offer to JHF last year was absolutely genuine and we have effectively tapped him up with a huge long term contract offer and he is desperate to get out of North to be back in SA with us. The whole attitude thing might just be part of his way to try and get out of there as soon as possible.

Just an alternative perspective

Draft tampering punishment incoming

 

[Crow till I die]

The real strategy to get Horne-Francis is tanking so hard we finish below North next year then getting him in the PSD for nothing

Or finish low enough so its viable to have him nominate for the national draft. No way north burn a pick 1 or 2 to redraft him

In that scenario we get JHF and a new coach.

 

[GameofSloanes]

If it was a pick 1 top rated vic youngster doing that here, there would still be a conga line of vic clubs coming in with big offers with teams looking at the potential and feeling they could cure the behavioural issues

Not to mention the media pulling the mental health line and flat out saying we have to trade him its best for everyone

Not bad

The afl would change the rules to stop that from happening. No way could we get away with that

Imagine that though..just when an interstate club was about to benefit, the VFL...oops i mean AFL shut it off

 

[Gtowncrow]

Rachele & Soligo vs JHF is looking OK?

Taylor shown enough in his limited SANFL outings?

There's two names that North might suggest in a potential trade.
Rachel would be off the table but Taylor and/or Soligo might be interesting.
I hope neither is traded but you never know...
