'12 wins'

 

[DesertRoo]

There is no way Scott's decision on our 'priority picks' should stand and we should be appealing this ASAP.

The guys so unethical, how was he even allowed to apply for the job.

Oh Man, now I gotta go a delete a whole bunch of posts from his North days.

Make sure you save them to your clipboard, you'll be using them by about round 6.

So when can we expect the announcement that Jimmeh is being appointed as Bard's backstabber in chief senior assistant?

 

[Hojuman]

Gil: " Welcome to the NAB AFL national draft 2022 "

" Pick 1, Essendon "

Stunned looks at the NMFC table !

 

[Heaps of fun]

 

[Hojuman]

Reckon they got a bit nervous about Brisbane going for Brad if Fagan's return is delayed and rushed him straight through past Yze, proper process, yeah, nah, but totally unsurprising.

Throw Yze a lifeline ?

Mr 50%

 

[amaz199]

Can we play *Essendon in Round 1?

 

[rickety]

Farken funny. Suffer in ya jocks

 

[1975]

Disappointed, he’s an upgrade on anything else they have had.

 

[muttley45]

Throw Yze a lifeline ?

Why not, wherever he ends up, will probably have a healthy dislike of *

 

[El Triggso]

Does this Scotts announcement negatively affect our ability to retain Turner?

 

[Ashley B]

Or has he is widely known as “first picked”

 

[Dodecahedron]

This thread is now literally going to go on forever.

A robust and exhaustive process if I've ever seen one. I'm sure they left no stone unturned when doing their due diligence between 10am and 5pm today.

My favourite part of the article is definitely the accompanying photo:



Unfortunately, they got the caption wrong. It should have read "Brad Scott reacts to being asked whether he'll be backing up his assurances to 'do the right thing by North' by foregoing his final year's salary".
