    Recommitted Jy Simpkin [UFA 2029] - staying at North Melbourne

    I don’t think you can underestimate the effect the Webster hit had on Jy. I don’t think he ever took a short step before that.

    Delisted Tarryn Thomas

    While not terrible some of his off season returns weren’t great either. Can’t imagine he will be in tip top shape if he did come back. Add to this the fact he never really hit his full potential in 4 seasons at North and it’s a massive risk even before you add the off field stuff.

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

    Out of the blue opinion. In NFL which has the premier draft in world sport, teams pick for need not for best available talent. Success is judged by games played over the career. Build the bones of your team in the draft add the muscle later through trades. First pick this year Trainor or...

    Recommitted Christian Petracca [UFA 2029]

    I’m loving the thought of him coming to North. But as much as I hate saying this, wouldn’t Hawthorn or Essendon be a better fit for him?

    Maybe I’m a idiot, but every time I watch Cam play and think about the future I see Stewie Dew in 2008

    Club Focus Richmond 2024

    If you end up doing a North and blowing apart your list letting Baltasound walk as a free agent may not be a bad idea. If you got tier one compo you are looking at 2 pick in top 4 at worst, similar to the Mc Kay situation we had

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 18 - Swans v North Sat July 13th 1:45pm AEST (SCG)

    Strangely enough I think the SCG might work in our favour. Still swans by 20 to 30 points

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    Jake Riccardi would be the perfect KPF for us to target. Just at the right age, possible go home factor, no sure thing at his current club. If we start putting the groundwork into him now it could really pay off when his contract finishes in 2 years.

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - [The Age] Jy's mgmt have sounded clubs out about their interest in Jy as he wants more midfield time

    I wonder if he could be remodelled into a pressure forward. He’s centre square time is only going to get less and less as our young guys mature.

    Player Watch #20: Nick 'Souva' Larkey - 2026 NM Captain

    Might be a good move to start further up the ground next week, give him the chance to expand his leading zone by 180 degrees. Have Teakle and/or Pink play closer to goal to create a contest. May bring help is form and possibly catch GC of guard

    Resource North Melbourne AFL & AFLW Player Contracts

    I believe we have to delist 3 players at the end of the year (or not renew). I’m guessing Sields, Marley, Hansen and Sellers are the prime candidates. Ford Phillips and Archer you would like to see signed sooner than later. Greenwood retirement? Zuhaar? I think Lazzaro is a slow build and may be...

    Recommitted Luke Davies-Uniacke [Signed until 2032]

    Wins are probably more important now than at any other time in our rebuild. Wins are what will help us hang onto LDU, Powell and Zuhaar. I believe we can win 3-5 between now and the end year which will be enormous for us. Another point I’d like to make is that we have never seen a list rebuild...

    Caleb Daniel would be a awesome fit. A hard running pressure forward would be great and is something we should be looking to draft at the end of the year.

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - '24 SBM - re-signed until the end of 2032 [7 year deal]

    TPP goes up 10% next year, I’d park my contract talks to if I was his manager. Despite not being a top 5 player in the league he has the potential to be top 5 paid for a year or to at least!
