North Melbourne Priority Pick 2021

Salty Scott brothers are the best..
brads was such an embarrassment

Hit the nail on the head though. North don't need assistance.

 

[perplexed]

How dapper is Scotty looking these days?

He's looking fine, but a bit more flustered than I expected. Twas a tad embarrassing tbh. Not sure if he was yelling at his brother or in support of him.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Whack.

It's refreshing to hear a coach say what he thinks instead of playing a straight bat.

Hit the nail on the head though. North don't need assistance.

Honestly we could’ve done with the assistance 2 years ago, now not so much, hopefully we’ll be on the uptick, at least we’ve got light at the end of the tunnel now.

 

[Roby]

well I’m not sure how it’s bad for us

Remember at the start of the year, when your supporters thought you had the best youth in the league?

 

[perplexed]

Does the AFL even need North?

The AFL is North.

 

[Tas]

Notice how none of them talked about GC likely getting 3 top 10 picks thanks to their academy, including the 2nd best player in the pool.

Saints/North finals comparison was interesting for the last decade.

Make them both PM.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Just for a short while, and then nobody will care about you anymore. Irrelevant

Until Clarko takes us to flag after flag. Then you'll all be sooking hard again.

 

[Mute Point]

Did you bother to read the post? I'm guessing not

Yeah I did, especially the part where it was mentioned that club culture was affected by receiving priority picks, hence the question.

Salty = being correct.

It’s only end of first round picks; I don’t think it too bad tbh.

 

[Mat Mann]

Notice how none of them talked about GC likely getting 3 top 10 picks thanks to their academy, including the 2nd best player in the pool.

and what does that have to do with North? absolutely zero

North's obsession with what GC have got is bizarre, North having an NGA in Tassie is the outlier

 

[Roby]

Can I ask your thoughts on what your president Mr Gowers said on SEN last week when asked about North Melbourne asking for priority assistance? "If we were in the same position, we'd be asking also"

Didn't hear it.

What did he say? What would Gowers ask for if Hawthorn were in the same position as North?

I know your celebrating your pyrrhic victory tonight, but it would be good if you responded to this at some point in time, when your decided to try and get one up on me.

Saints/North finals comparison was interesting for the last decade.

I can't imagine St Kilda shamelessly begging in the way North have over the last three* years.

They will do it the right way and the hard way. North would never.

Yes an arbitrary number.

5 of which won't be on the list next year.

Ziebell, Cunnington & Hall retiring.
McKay leaving in FA.
Bonar delisted.

Yes, that's kind the point. The assistance should've been back then, not after they've had ample opportunities to hit the draft/FA/trade period to improve their list.

Giving them assistance when they're nearly primed to climb the ladder is stupid.

Is every team going to get help in the same situation? Why even bother allocating draft picks? Just do what the AFL wants..

 

[BloodySwan]

Yes an arbitrary number.

What difference will 3 more make is the question? Top 20 talent is clearly not the issue

 

[hamG]

Scotty was the most direct he's ever been on an AFL issue with the North compensation. Threw proper grenades.

Old uncle Ross was doing his best, might have hit up the red fairly heavily before strutting into the fox studio.

 

[Roby]

Until Clarko takes us to flag after flag. Then you'll all be sooking hard again.

Is Clarko coming back to Hawthorn and are you guys buying our memberships? Not happening.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Gold Coast is a completely different proposition to North tho not to mention a extremely challenging location to try and sustain a AFL club.

You have over 100 years of history compared to them, Friday night football was featured involving North in the 90's.

The Grand Final breakfast is a North Melbourne tradition, you should be a powerhouse in the AFL or at least a top 4 club.

The comparison is polar opposite.

 

[DesertRoo]

Lol could you imagine a Scott brother dealing with a trade war, stamping his feet, complaining about the rain..

 

[Disco Dew]

I can't imagine St Kilda shamelessly begging in the way North have over the last three* years.

This is just straight up horse shit and you know it. Any club that finds itself in the same position as north over the last few years would 100% be hitting the afl up.
