Below is how the League explains free agency, for anyone that think you have to trade for a free agent, I suggest you read the rules.
Free agency
The AFL introduced free agency at the end of the 2012 season, giving players another vehicle where they can transfer from one club to another. Free...
Just so we don't have some * flog starting this thread.

I was watching an item on ebay, thinking if it goes for around $10 I might buy it, well...
it sold for $122 plus postage, so if anyone here purchased this $10 record for $126, please stay away from trade/FA threads, we don't want nor need your opinion on what Harley Bennell is worth.;):);)
my 12 year old daughter said to me after the game tonight, "well Dad at least we finished above the prime example of a club looking down the barrel of mediocrity, and pulling itself out of it with a high performance culture of accountability and we still have all our teeth."
sometimes you just...
with LA leaving, who gets the prized number 4?
it could be, one of:
LT - it may be enough for the umps to pay a free once every now and then.
Ben Brown - how can you be taken seriously with 50 on your back?;)
1st pick in the draft = give the new kid some confidence.
Kieran Harper, Cam Delaney...
As we are the Free Agent Kings
Some very interesting names in next years lot, most unobtainable, but never say never.
Adelaide
Patrick Dangerfield - Restricted (8 years) I reckon he may go this year or sign a contract.
David Mackay - Restricted (9 years)
Andy Otten - Restricted (8 years)...

Just had a look on footywire at 2014 season averages
Kicks 6th
Handballs 6th
disposals 6th
marks 6th
goals 8th
behinds 5th
tackles 13th
hitouts 7th
frees for 6th
frees against 8th
so yeah our end of season 6th was about right, and after the finals we are 3rd.
where do we start, my top highlights are:
1. Sammy Wright's emergence during the Finals
2. Lmac's courage
3. Coming of age for Greenwood
4. NDS that final against Geelong
5. Our captained returned and will be better next year.
I'll let others mention Turner and Brown.
Not sure if this has been posted, I had a quick look and could not find it on our board, apologies if it has been.
Two former North boys took out the SA and WA Leading Goalkicker awards this year, congrats to both.
Josh Smith wins Bernie Naylor Medal (WAFL Leading Goalkicker)...
I understand a few in here think a 30+ year old is worth $450K as a trade for Delaney and a second rounder, and some think a banged up Daisy at $700K as a free agent is a good idea, and most like Betts but not at $550K. my idea is we save the war-chest for one more year and then offer Jack...
Post your clips here guys, this is mine.
Have not looked to the forward line when the ball hits the centre since when the Duck was playing, we all know it may not work, but heck (trying not to swear so much) didn't that first mark and goal create some excitement.
West Coast Ruckmen palming the ball behind themselves to a unmanned West Coast midfielder who is facing their forward line, absolutely killed us last time. I am sure Brad will have a plan in place to curb this, this time round.
:D Go You Mighty Rooboys :D

these hacks that write the same s**t every year on the same weekend make me laugh.
looking down the list and picking someone we could have drafted instead (before our next pick) I think we did better then all others in 2006.
3. Lachlan Hansen - missed on Selwood, who had injury concerns and after Trotter, Urch and a few others, I see why we went with Hansen. Jack Reiwoldt is...
after the first free against Lindsay when O'Brien ran off had a 7 bounces and then kicked the ball to the other end of the ground, whilst the sofctock umpire blew his whistle 37 times?

come on Nick, why would we trade Greenwood for a free agancy player in Pearce? just offer a better contract and we get Pearce and...
If the MRP continues to be consistently bad I would hazard to guess two weeks, could have gone for the ball but decided to bump, head contact was made.
game will be played Saturday. :) someone must think we are good things to make the finals.

I think we can all make our own judgement on how many weeks Mick would get today.
I'll go with 0, but doubt he would really escape without penalty, should have stood aside and let Maclure run past would be the preferred alternative.
