A few weeks ago he picked a full on half volley off his bootlaces and in one motion swiveled and fired a 20m handpass over his shoulder to a teammate streaming into an open goal.
That was overly impressive...

I want to be confident and imagine getting O'Meara if we lose Tom, or maybe boosting our KBD stocks with Hurley.
But I keep imagining getting some mid-range first rounder and a steak knives player from Hawthorn for Mitchell and then wasting half a mill on an unproven kid who's probably barely worth 400K atm.
The idea that Tom would ask us to trade with the Hawks makes me sick.

I remember people thinking the same thing when Burgoyne went to Hawthorn

If i was Mason Wood, im not leaving Melbourne, Family and Friends to move to Sydney for possibly 50K extra.
When was the last time North Melbourne lost a young gun to another club? Cant see Wood leaving tbh.

Burgoyne was 27 when he joined the Hawks. He's missed a handful of games in 7 seasons so its paid off.

Can't see us chasing him with $500k a season either, so we're all on the same page!
99% likely it's a beat up by his manager to get him some extra cash at North. Swans tend to keep the trade stuff pretty secretive.
His reasons would probably be to get away from a shit club and play in a flag
The perception at the time by most pundits was that his body was shot and he had 2 maybe 3 years left at best. iI has been a remarkable turn around, was just trying to make the point don't write off highly talented players because its perceived their body won't handle it. There are some players I'd take a chance on (given right medical assessment) and Deledio is definitely one of them, I personally think he is in the Burgoyne mould and could play till his 34-35.
The Swans can't be linked to everyone. This is surely grounds for a trade ban.
Luckily for Mason Wood you are not him. Perhaps the real Mason is driven by success and does not just accept mediocrity.

Success? Since Mason Wood was born, both teams have won 2 grand finals.
Well champ the Red and White team will win another 2 before pathetic excuse for a club gets one. You should have gone to the Gold Coast, but now all you have left is 2 headed Hobart, now jog on.
Sadly for North he was too young to remember them.
You make a very good point that Sydney needs to offer substantially above the rate a Melbourne club is prepared to pay because the player needs to leave his home, family and friends. 50K extra won't cut it, it needs to be more than that to make it worthwhile.
Perhaps Sydney and other clubs in the northern states who have little to no local talent to choose from should get some assistance to compete. We could call it a 'cost of living allowance', or COLA for short.
Hardly seems unfair, as you do admit yourself...

Mason Wood is really close with his sister and family in general...would be very surprised to see him leave Victoria. If he goes anywhere, expect it to be back home to Geelong.
Just found out that Wood's manager is Pickering. Lol he's coming to Sydney nws.

So...Brian Waldron's info on Prestia missing the rest of the season for the Suns turned out to be spot on, let's hope he is as accurate with his O'Meara prediction.

Someone on the Norf board proposed our first round pick and Rohan as a trade for Wood, immediately followed by "I'd still rather not"

Double benefit, Barrett looks like even more of a numpty, plus Norf flogs get to piss off out of this thread
