Anvil's death stare
Good post until u decided to take a swipe at CollingwoodJust so so wrong. HMac was barely playing, on a massive contract and had clearly fallen well behind Goldy as prefered ruck option.
North took a 2nd to get the deal done on the proviso Geel took the entire remaining contract of HMac.
Levi has had a good year, played well in finals and had a good B&F finish. Unfortunately he is one of many of that type at North. So a fair offer was put to him.
If the Pies want to step in with an over the top offer, which they are entitled to do, it would be irresponsible of North to put 1 player ahead of the club.
None of this diminishes what North think of Levi, nor does it diminish his trade value. The desperate need to replace Ball and Beams weakens the Pies position, compounded with the interest from the Bullies and Tigers, not to mention North is more than happy for him to stay.
Levi is welcome to nominate a preferred club, but thats no final destination if a deal cant be reached. Losing Beams, Lamumba, Ball, Maxwell has the Pies on the cusp of a great slide and further tarnish to Bucks ego.
20% of your best 22 has left, is it worth the squabble over an upgraded pick here and there to fill 1 of the vacancies?
