Easy on Aaron. He had post season surgery last season, if he's still in pain and can't function then perhaps we should review who operates on our players. This right here is classic overrating of our own players. He hasn't set the world on fire in the vfl, his chance in the ones was let through to the keeper, and if he wants to go home then we should and will facilitate a trade. He is not Jack gunston, nor cam McCarthy. You seem to be making out that he is.

His talent is high, output not. I've made that clear. Just my opinion, take it or leave it. Nothing more needs to be said from my end.

4. On a tough day for all key-position players, Aaron Black worked hard up forward for the Roosters.

“Considering the conditions, to take six marks and kick two goals was a good performance,” Brown explained.

“His work rate was really good. He got up the ground and then worked back hard, making himself hard to play on.

“He competed well and his all-round effort was quite good.”

 

[Freomaniac]

I can see why he is a required player with some guys at the end of their careers.

Are the Hun still reporting that or was it just one article?

without injuries its hard too see black getting back into the side this year, but i do hope he stays, because in a few years when drew and waite are gone we will need him to step up and take his game to a new level

1. Aaron Black had a second quarter purple patch, kicking three consecutive goals. His effort and work rate remained impressive throughout the game, finishing with nine marks.

“Blacky was very good and his second quarter in particular was outstanding,” Senior Development Coach Gavin Brown told NMFC.com.au.“He marked them on the lead, in the air, in the contest and got the ball at ground level.

“When the weather came in the second half he still competed and won his one-on-ones.”

Good to see Blacky. Moar of that for longer and a spot in the 1's could well be yours.

I just hope he's regaining confidence TBH.

 

[Only Forwards]

I just hope he's regaining confidence TBH.

This would be the biggest factor I'd think.

Kid can play can't wait for him to get back.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Probably unlucky Waite just played his good game for the month

 

[GazzaRoo]

Freo NEED him and should be offering something very good in return. Will be a wait and see at end of the year.

Spoke to him in the carpark after the game walking back to the car with his gorgeous partner. His fired up and really hopes to play next week.

Does he come in for Drew if Drew gets a week?

only way he will play if Petrie gets suspended, cant see anyone else getting dropped in the forward line.

i actually think he should be considered for defence. He's mobile and has good aerobic capacity so a lachie style intercepting role may be the go.

my preference is Waite for the backline and Black for the third tall role up forward

I think we'd end up with a broken (almost) KPF - Lachie plays that role well but arguably is suffering durability issues also. To be honest I'm just not sure that dropping in the hole as a job plan is great for players long term.

On the drafts board someone has suggested Brisbane have offered Black $450k for 3 years. Poster quoted Blacks family as their source.

 

[Flawed Genius]

For reference, that's here:

And the post is:

Brisbane have entered the race for Aaron Black.

Offered a 3 year deal at $450,000 a year.

Is getting paid handsomely at North but obviously cant get a game.

[Flawed Genius]

If he were homesick, Brisbane would seem the worst option for him. There is no city in Australia that plays football that is further from his home.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

What would we need to add to Black to get Aish?

 

[jess_1804]

If that's the case, we'll take their first pick in the draft
