This I don't get. Of the 20-odd players they delisted over the past couple of years, 4 were picked up by other clubs.And it's self inflicted. They cut their list to the bone, what did they expect? One reason they shouldn't get a PP IMO.
They could do worseThey'll go for Clarkson, end up with Buckley IMO.
They could do worse
This I don't get. Of the 20-odd players they delisted over the past couple of years, 4 were picked up by other clubs.
Majak Daw, who was taken purely as depth for a great side and was behind Xerri at the time.
Tom Campbell, who is basically a 30 year old reserve ruck and had no part of their future.
Mason Wood, who was really inconsistent for them and obviously needed a change of scenery
Sam Durdin, who was taken because of Carlton having a billion injuries to their key defenders
North has few good options at this stage.
No tenured coach wants to go there. Their playing list is way too young to compete. Would take 2+ years to make right.
Why would a coach put themselves through the pressure?

Don't forget the ones they traded. Sideshow bob was good enough to play in a Premiership. And even if players they cut weren't picked up by other clubs, you need some mature bodies around so that the kids don't get smashed. We saw that with GC and we've seen it again now with lolnorf.
Well yeah, Brown was one everyone knew was stupid at the time. But the guys they cut weren't good enough to be picked up by other clubs by and large, showing that their "gutting of the list" was overstated.Don't forget the ones they traded.

That narrative is getting tiring. Of course it’s their own doing, that’s what a rebuild is cutting away all the dead wood and building with kids. The issue is the older guys they still have on their list don’t do the heavy lifting meaning too much is left up to the kids. They don’t have the luxury of a pendles, Sidebottom Howe etc or Gunston, bruest, Mitchell. Their captain wouldn’t be in the 22 if he didn’t have the c next to his name.This I don't get.

He’ll end up back in a footy manager role somewhere again next year. As has been mentioned a few places he was in track to become a ceo of a club, but wanted to take on the challenge of north when they approached him with the role.Unpopular opinion and I have no idea whether he’s interested but I’d love Noble as a VFL coach.

It's not that the blokes they got rid of were AFL superstars though.Well yeah, Brown was one everyone knew was stupid at the time. But the guys they cut weren't good enough to be picked up by other clubs by and large, showing that their "gutting of the list" was overstated.
Because coaches have egos and have a need to prove themselves. It is an AFL job on top of that the first two years of the rebuild will be done and they do actually have some decent young players.North has few good options at this stage.
