List Mgmt. Jordan de Goey - agreed to 2 year extension at Collingwood

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Shallow analysis that ignores the reality that we have lost nothing so they invent a ridiculous term: destination club.

We know what we want & we have the financial resources to pay. I get that the shinboner boldness rattles the cages of the "big clubs" who expect everything handed to them on a platter.

We will get the players we need sooner or later and no amount of destination diatribe will stop us.

North Melbourne with nothing to show for $30 million offers
A RECRUITMENT disaster unlike anything seen in the AFL shows North Melbourne owes club legend Brent Harvey an apology.

Collingwood star Jordan De Goey’s decision to knock back the Roos and reportedly agree to sign a deal worth $3.6 million less is unfortunately an all-too familiar black eye for the team coach Brad Scott still feebly insists is a “destination club”.

All the evidence suggests otherwise, Brad.

He said 12 months ago that every failure makes them stronger and adds bulk to their salary cap war chest.

“We made some well documented changes to our list at the end of last year to give us ultimate flexibility to be able to target some top-end talent,” Scott told SEN last year after missing out on Richmond’s Dustin Martin.

“Our board gave the list management committee a directive to be very bold at the list management table and to be aggressive. Clearly we’ve been aggressive.

“Every time you miss out, while it’s going to be disappointing, it just builds that war chest even further to keep being aggressive.”

It’s a simplistic view that completely fails to grasp the damage dealt to the club’s reputation by one failure following the next.

To fully appreciate the scale of failure that North Melbourne’s so-called war chest has suffered, you have to start before the 2016 trade period.

According to reports, the club tabled a “multi-million dollar deal” for Swans star Isaac Heeney. Swing and a miss.

Six months later they threw the kitchen sink at GWS gun Josh Kelly with some reports declaring the offer was above $10 million. Swing and a miss.

They went harder than any rival in the war to win the signature of Brownlow medallist Martin last year. An $11 million offer — reportedly up to $400,000 per season more than the Tigers’ offer — wasn’t enough to convince the superstar to move. Swing and a miss.

The final insult arrived on Friday when reports indicated the Jordan De Goey has agreed to re-sign with the Magpies, spurning a “Godfather” deal worth $5 million from the Kangaroos. Swing and a miss.

It was an embarrassment even before they were knocked back by De Goey, publicly and decisively.

The worst part of all of these cases is that in every single one the Roos blew their rivals out of the water with mega-rich deals and still couldn’t land a big fish.

It amounts to a $30 million disaster that has had the exact opposite effect the club wanted.

After so many high profile recruitment failures, a stench has been left lingering around Norths — and it can’t be swept away by the club’s surprisingly strong first half of the 2018 season.

Too many players have knocked back big money deals for the club’s recruitment drive to not have sustained meaningful damage to its reputation and its stature in the AFL’s recruitment market.

These are just the cases that are known publicly.

The so-called war chest was the only selling point that stopped North fans rioting heading into the 2016 trade period after the stunning move to end the career of Brent Harvey.

Pulling the rug out from under a club legend could only be swallowed by Roos fans with the sweet promise that a list re-build could be hyper-accelerated by free agency success.

In the 2016 trade period the Roos failed to land a big fish. In 2017 they failed to land a big fish.

The club has over-promised and underdelivered. After two years of free agency failing, future free agents won’t be able to completely dismiss the history of so many fellow players choosing not to make the move to Arden Street.

The club’s made no secret of its desire to chase an experience midfield superstar — but their options are dwindling.

Adelaide superstar Rory Sloane must be their next target — open to free agency and out of contract at the end of this season.

West Coast’s Andrew Gaff won’t come cheap with the Eagles reportedly already tabling a monster six-year offer to the star winger.

It leaves Giants duo Josh Kelly and Dylan Shiel as likely targets in 2019.

But by that stage — three years after Boomer’s shameful departure — any free agency signing would be about breaking even on their aggressive list re-build rather than celebrating a recruitment coup.

North Melbourne might actually believe they are a destination club right now — but after these public debacles none of their future free agency targets will share the same opinion. That reputation in the long run could ultimately cost them a lot more than the $30 million in offers they’ve butchered.

If you're going to do it...don't make it so obvious. Talk about amateur hour.

Wouldn't surprise me if he didnt even write it but just whoever wrote it just got him to post it.

de Goey not worth the money. Focus on getting Gaff this year and Josh Kelly in 2020.

Stick to the V8s and modelling mate.

Lol... from Bathurst

I find it funny people have a crack at us but not St Kilda even though Saints have made similar bids to the same players we have and tons that we weren't interested in.

Remember when they lost interest in Fyfe last year?

Just for once would it kill us to come out and fight back one of these garbage claims? I get you can't argue against everyone but..

Pity we didnt get to troll Pie fans for a while longer.

Disappointing.

Just sent the article's link to a mate at News Ltd (high position). He read it and was about to have a chat with the sports editor about how poorly it's been put together.

There's a reason old mate supplies online copy ... Thats his level.

 

[Caracas]

Can't deny it, I'm really happy with this outcome. I really don't want us splashing out on players whose only reason for coming to the club would be money. My preference is always going to be Josh Kelly because of the "coming home" factor and the fact his Dad played with us. It stacks up, just like Dangerfield going to the Cats. If Cerra kicks on and wants to come home, he'd be another good guy to go after. De Goey and Dusty just don't do it up for me. Of course, if we had them both, I'd be backing them in big time.

When I asked my mate if he knew who Tyson Otto was he replied "nup, never heard of him", and the sports reporters sit nearby. Yep, this appears to be filler for the online version of News.
