    Bye Bye Nobles

    I hope that those involved in selecting Noble can sleep at night - they shouldn’t!! They have convinced a guy who was steering his career towards administration to coach and given him few resources and a crap list - then sack him.(Or make his tenure impossible) it’s time for the NMFC to get it...

    Welcome Welcome to tiger land Jacob Bauer (Pick 10 Rookie draft)

    I've seen a fair bit of this kid this year and he is well worth the risk. You are 100% right - after it became common knowledge how good he could be he became a target and was double teamed and manhandled constantly. Umpiring in the SANFL is even worse than at AFL level so he has been afforded...

    Preview Changes vs. The Suns

    I rarely comment on this or any other board - mainly because I can be perceived as being too negative so I avoid upsetting others - or being attacked for having an opinion. Living interstate I rarely get the chance to see the Roos live so rely on TV coverage and accept that it doesn't always...

    Prediction Who gets picked up as a Delisted Free Agent?

    Richie Douglas caught up with Alistair Clarkson in Adelaide yesterday - playing or non playing role? He might have one more year left - but cant see where he would fit for the Hawks?

    Past #3: Ryan Bastinac - traded to Brisbane for picks 17, 26, 28 & 47 (NMFC loses 34, 38, 40 & 2016 R3)

    I think Ryan would love to stay but is realistic that Brisbane would provide more opportunities - and the lure of a 5 year deal is very attractive (not silly money - but a 5 year guarantee), so if a deal can be reached, he would have no hesitation in accepting. Brisbane does sound very keen so...

    Such is Ryans quality, He spoke to his career player sponsor at B&F and discussed Brisbanes interest and offer

    I believe that he has a 5 year deal from Brisbane infront of him and is agreeable to a trade - with Brisbane his preferred destination - just not sure what they have that would be of interest to us - unless it ends up in a multi club deal.

    List Mgmt. Tom Lynch - Looking at Melbourne

    Have supported North Melb all my life (passionate about North Adelaide to went for any team beginning in North) - sadly I'm old enough that began before the Crows existed. Comes from the son of a Senior Crows staffer - and as much as I ask - neither know anything about Dangerfield.

    List Mgmt. Tom Lynch - Looking at Melbourne

    Not suggesting that it is negotiations have stalled, but both Lynch and Matt Crouch are playing hardball and might take a little longer yet.
