None of the stats back that up. A loss 1 vs 1 loss % of 40% is one of the worst 8 key backs in the league. All his other stats around intercepts are all very meh. Would be bizarre if he's anywhere near the AA squad. Someone like Harris Andrews has been in 2x the amount of 1 vs 1 contests...

You had Touk in another tier and they had him at #1 across an entire season.

You may need to create another tier because Merrett sure as shit isn’t in Bontempelli and Cripps tier.

It's not restraint of trade if it's an employment contract they sign when signing up to the draft process and competition. There's a heap of ways around Australia's employment laws. The AFL can meet employment law obligations but deregister players for life under their own rules to prevent...

What signs? He was public in his statement of wanting to be the #1 pick and come to Melbourne. We know it was bullshit, but what you are stating is complete revisionism.

Contractually they don't. Culturally they will have to.

So what? He joined a national competition.

With Adelaide you mean?

SEN WA have claimed this morning Daniel Curtin wants to return to WA already and Fremantle are already involved. The AFL extended draftee contracts from 2 to 3 years, but it's irrelevant when all the power is with the player and they can walk out and request trades whenever they like...

I've raised Borlase on the North board in the past as someone I'd really have a look at. Advanced stats back up your assessment as well. He's more than AFL standard. He's also an unrestricted free agent for the duration of his career given he was delisted and rookied by Adelaide.

I really think we don't need to get into the Ablett stuff, it's completely different, a different era, post playing days and to do with the HOF rather than his playing career. In terms of the rest. In that instance the player is not banned for life whilst playing AFL football, but is once not...

Well for starters Gary Ablett Sr's major infractions were post retirement. Secondly, I don't think you are going to get very far comparing professional and community standards with those of 30 years ago. South Africa was still an apartheid state...... Based on AFL rules, he should be banned...

Strange that isn’t it. Opposition supporters all melting over the summer about the compo, now apparently he’s a gun and North were idiots for letting him go 🤣 Same will apply for Zurhaar

Based on extremely similar guidelines he would be deregistered and not allowed to play in any football competition in any state in the country, ever again. Let alone just the highest level. The only loophole here is, his suspension wasn’t handed down by a tribunal, but the AFL executive...

Pick purchasing. It’s coming.

Multiple clubs interested at more than $800k per season according to Marc McGowan.

The bands only go up as players enter that band with new contracts, it’s not currently in proportion to the increase in cap space. Multiple clubs didn’t have automatic salary increases built into their standard player contracts with their CBA. Some clubs have record cap space and a “good”...

It won't be traded if LDU is in fact off. We will have lost Thomas and LDU inside of 12 months. Smillie makes much more sense if factoring in the LDU contract developments. Dyson Sharp having Harley Reid like wraps at this stage and Willem Duursma being one of the other #1 prospects of 2025...

Well prepare to get rooted. Peoples expectations of the pay ceiling clearly haven’t moved in the last 18 months. A very real chance both Hayward and Zurhaar pull band 1

What about him?

Another solution for Northern Academies may be, you can't double dip on the main pool if you match a bid in that round. I.E the McDonald/Campbell situation. In regards to the changes. Pick purchasing is probably going to have the single biggest impact on the comp since FA was introduced...

Yes, those were his combine results.

Sure, if you want to count his career stats from 8 years ago as relevant. He is in a pretty small group of players who get it over 15 times a game and kick it 1+ goal a game. He's also shown an ability to get up towards 2 goals per game in previous seasons.

Supposedly both Sydney and GC are coming very hard for him.

He's not falling through the cracks :drunk: and people passing comments here have probably watched 1 North game in the last 2 years. Do these numbers from last year scream absolute spud to you? 19 disposals, 4 clearances and 4 tackles a game. This is nothing like the Dow situation. Unless you...

Will Dawson is the long term big key defensive prospect, he’s looked excellent on Larkey in preseason but is a few years off physically. I’d probably just prefer to draft another prospect and make do with Logue. Kallan Dawson was excellent yesterday.

Don't think Zurhaar has ever been in danger in that regard. Believe both his parents are very prominent barristers in WA.

He didn’t receive the minimum, he well exceeded it. You also clearly don’t understand the compo process. You are measured against your peers in a ranking system, not a % of the cap or fixed figure. Your rank from 1-800 determines the compo category, not the actual dollar value, as age is a...

It’s amazing how some people look at a screen and never completely absorb something when it happens. Zurhaar was happy JHF left, he celebrated it. He got into him for his flogging behavior, not the fact he left.
