FWIW (probably not much), I totally agree with your overall comments for just once in my bloody life Daz.
This is a rediculous situation but I keep saying to myself that it is all pure speculation, at least at this early stage...  |
Yes, I know Laz, but I was saying the same thing before we drafted S Buckley, Lynch, Russell, Young etc... if in doubt, go to the draft! |
I was quite pleased when we drafted Scott Russell. |
I was displeased when we drafted Kym

My mail on the 4 players boning 24 hours out proved to be correct so sit tight Culprit!

Blair actually gives us much more tackling power in our forward line than Boomer would. If we go for any of these guys it will set us back big time. We need to back in players like Ramsay, Schazza, Wills, Aish, Phillips and Crocker. |
The voice of sanity. |
We have a lot of youth already and I could see Boomer/DalSanto and Blair playing forward, with Boomer taking the role (not the quality, but the role) that Swan was tagged for at the start of 2016. For a year, as a bridge to the development of our young side, I can see positives. |
Definitely see the value in us signing a player over 30: we have none! I don't think Harvey, at 39, is the right option. Let's also consider that if he were the great role model and club man we want, North might be keeping him. Can't believe they're not, but there has been talk he's not seen internally like he is from the outside.

So Rudeboy when was the last time did you see Blair chase down a player and tackle him?
When was the last time did you see Blair stick a tackle when the opposition had the ball and were running full on past him?
It is true Blair can stick a good tackle in a pack.
But 1 out of 3 don't make him a good tackler.
As I said, Boomer has 34 goals this year and Blair has 15 and Boomer spent a lot more time in the midfield.
I do agree with your point on setting back the development of certain kids. |
Blair has the world "bluffed" about his 1 percenters. In societal terms he is a "footballing liar".

I'm not going to argue with your mail, I just hope we don't do it. It's a backward step IMHO. Get mature players in to top up when our GF window is open, like in 2010, not now.

Mate. We're not playing in next year's grand final, so why do you want Boomer? |

I just want to win more games of football, reach finals and be in contention again. We have got the youth.

Absolutely; the kids can learn from Harvey - work ethic, mental toughness, front and square at the drop of the ball. Money for jam stuff.
All there for the taking, unless Scott reneges on his threat, that is...

Said it many times, trade for Aaron Mullett and then leave North alone.

Maric will be 31 at round one. Reckon we could get 30 games out of him? (Or should I say need?)
Stick with just Aaron Mullett for now.

Someone close to NM was noting to me that Boomer was Top 3 for running forward but his GPS was No 17 for running back to defence.
They couldn't support that type of player any longer and realise they need to reboot.
Brad Scott has already knocked Qld coaching and re-signed with North. They reckon he's got 2x Prelims out of a list which isn't that great and he deserves a shot at the rebuild. I can't argue with that logic.

There's a good reason players get delisted and Scott is no fool. We need to stay well clear of the four delisted NM players. |
Like we did with Levi Greenwood who was out of contract?

Levi Greenwood was 26 at the time and coming off his existing contract which NM wanted to renew. No complaints there but it did lead to the demise of Macaffer. |
