North releases Harvey, Dal Santo, Petrie and Firrito

[Norm De Guerre]

Bulldogs fans are really loving this arent they?

Sad bunch of people need to find happiness somewhere.

Its been a long 60 years.

1. yes
2. no
3. yes.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Harvey or Waite
Harvey or Waite
Hmmmm

Mustve been a tough call

Shit decision
Harvey in fine form
Who cares how old he is ffs
Is he putting in?
Is he doing the team things?

LOLNORF


30 odd decent touches and a few goals and gets the ass lol
I'd play on and shove it up norfs ass sideways

 

[HBF]

Could also be the motivation they need to salvage something from a 9-0 start. Most people think they are making up the numbers and will be bundled out early. This gives them a reason to go hard and give it their all.

Going to be tough for those 4 players to get their heads right in a couple of weeks.
Good on them for making the tough call, but I just question the timing and how they've gone about it.

 

[RearNaked]

As much as everyone including myself like to bag Harvey he deserves to go out on his on terms poor form by north

 

[JeffDunne]

 

[MaddAdam]

Right move to make, the writing was on the wall last couple of years... haven't really blooded that many young guys... I expect others who are in that age bracket will go and they will target youth, bottom 4 side next year but the right move to make.

Apart from McKenzie, Wagner, Wood, Clarke, Dumont, Anderson, Turner, McDonald, Brown and Garner.

 

[Wild Bill]

Moving them on is the right decision. Not giving them the chance to retire is incompetent.

"Hey Drew - it's time to hang them up"

Petrie "No way - never"

What now?

 

[Feerits Elf]

Surely NDS still has something to offer

I reckon he'd look alright in a Saints jumper. I've knocked up a quick Photoshop

 

[Ablett2Garland]

I wonder if GWS would be interested in a 1 year contract for a few of them...

they should. Would probably come down to if Boomer would do a dougie hawkins or not.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Can we leave the lol Norf stuff on the bay and your own boards.

 

[Ant_]

Surprised with Harvey.. who is he holding back from best 22?

Nahas?

 

[Jack Bradley]

Different story afl brought in the sub completely stuffed our game style and exposed slow players. Next.

Lol what a cop out

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Absolutely staggered over the Harvey decision. Just ignore DOBs and he is a top 5 player at that club this year and easily holding his own.

He'd walk into any club in the land. I dislike the guy, but the quality of his football stands up.

Staggering to be honest.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Boomer got told half hour before the presser? Is this right? Or did I read what his old man said wrong? Laughable if true.. Im not saying right or wrong call.. Compare this to how we treated swanny. Boomer deserved to one be announced by him self and two do it him self.

And if he had, a lot of BigFooty would have come out with the lines about Boomer making it all about himself - like they did with the record, as if he had any say in there being a special jumper for it or other clubs would not have at least considered the same thing. Probably the same people that were saying he got nursed to the record are the ones now saying he's the best player.
Some people are just shits looking for an excuse to have a dig at every club except their own.

How about when your guys do the same with ninthmond and bitchmond?

 

[The Dodger]

Not really thinking this was bad. It was never going to be smooth. They probably wanted 1 more year in the league and then after that just 1 more year. Eventually you have to let them know that there is not going to be a 1 more year and it probably isn't going to be received very well.

 

[Wild Bill]

As much as everyone including myself like to bag Harvey he deserves to go out on his on terms poor form by north

What is he wants to play on until 2020? You would keep him going as long as he wanted?

Cats going Ok after moving SJ, Chappy, Kelly and Stokes - and about to make a move on Bartel - some players need to be told it's over. Actually - most do.

 

[bugalugs213]

Seems a bit rough for Harvey seeing as he has been in their best 5 a lot of times this year.

 

[Moti]

You probably haven't cared, but all bar Spud have been taking every media opportunity to push their case to play next year. There is zero way that coming out to "retire" would have been taken as just a veiled delisting anyway.

All three play their respective positions in an outdated way, they don't fit the modern style. Boomer is different, I would have kept him and I am sure I will become angrier at the decision every hour.

We have plenty of "potential" waiting in the wings, I am happy to finally see it. Might also help develop a different game plan.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

So I and the vast majority have to pay for the sins of a few trolls and idiots, great logic.

Shit photoshop. You can see the lines and shit of his head being placed there.

 

[Moti]

would be alot of egg on North face if Boomer wins their B&F but he doesn't have much competition considering the injuries.

No egg, in the presser they said it wasn't about form and that they were still capable of playing next year well.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

What sort of $ would Harvey have been asking?? If he was wanting $600k+ then perhaps it became a financial decision to use that capspace to chase an Omera or Swallow.

 

[Mercy Seat]

I wouldn't be surprised if north have landed a big fish. A big fish that may have made a call very recently, therefore allowing the hawks to re sign their older guys yesterday...

 

[Mofra]

Apart from McKenzie, Wagner, Wood, Clarke, Dumont, Anderson, Turner, McDonald, Brown and Garner.

So about average or below most other AFL sides?
