This honestly sounds like we have a new contract in front of TT, with a bunch of caveats, but him and his manager are looking at what's out there from other clubs as far as long term deals. Absolutely zero chance any other club has no caveats in their offer though. Not overly worried tbh, he's...

Port are some slimy f***ers, but it's a bit of a stretch to think they could convince a free agent to play bad just so they could pay him less and screw us regarding compensation.

If you ask anyone in Canada, it's either Barenaked Ladies or The Tragically Hip. The closest I've got to being forcibly deported was calling the Barenaked Ladies a one hit wonder. Personally, my absolute favourite band Canadian or otherwise is PUP though.

Yeah fair point, and as I said in the first post, that's half what I'm thinking as well. I'm not advocating for outright dropping him, I just feel like the key is when he plays with confidence. He looks the goods when he doesn't overthink it in the game.

I agree, he's never gonna be a 20+ disposal player and we don't want him in that role. But he was clearly uncomfortable early when he needed to think his way through kicking the footy. I'd love for him to be a 10 disposal shut down back for us, but a brief spell in the twos to build confidence...

He's a tricky one to figure out tbh. Half of me wants to see him go back to the 2s for a few weeks, get 25 disposals of HB and build confidence in his kicking and decision making. The other half wants him to stay in the AFL side, to get used to the higher intensity and learn from his...

Dude, you've come onto an opposition board and had a big whinge for the last 30 mins. Everyone here is laughing at you, including the port lurkers. Go outside, read a book or something, let the sensible adults here continue our rational discussion around the JHF trade.

Imagine spending your Friday afternoon melting on the North board about Xavier Duursma of all people. Port fans are not coping with this at all well.

I never would have thought JHF to be the catalyst, but this is some unprecedented unity on Bigfooty I've never seen before.

So how are Poort going to re-package their 2x 1st round picks today to try and pretend they've added more value? They've already tried getting Pick 2 from WC and been laughed out the room. My bet is they'll try their 2x 1sts to GWS for #3 + #19. But it will fail, again. On the plus side for...

Good thing most port fans can't read then.

When the tall, blonde, lanky HBF called Bergman shows up to Arden st on his first day...

Missed opportunity I reckon

Man, I genuinely feel for JHF, this constant garbage must be so tiring. On a miniscule scale, I can relate to this. My whole family is based in Adelaide, I lived there for 10 years and now live overseas. Every time I visit home, it's non-stop "when are you coming back?" Or "so what's your plan...

I wonder if this is part of the reason behind the overconfidence from the Adelaide clubs. Much less worried if this is the cause of the apparent "homesickness", just needs to convince the missus to live in Melbourne and we're set.

Hey mate, you posted a while back that JHF was gone, likely this year. Not questioning your inside word, but was that from an SA source, or someone at our club? Only reason I say that is that the SA clubs and sources (crows in particular) seem to have a tendency to be overconfident without...

Ralphy posted 6 consecutive North tweets and then one sympathetic one saying that things are being blown out of proportion.

I'd also nominate Sugma as an option

Jesus christ, everything purple writes makes me physically cringe. Literally writes like a 15 year old. Also, you can pretty much pencil in Daicos for Rising Star, barring injury. He'll be the close to the best mid at Collingwood this year already, and the media bias is already plain to see.

"But me and Dad sit down every year and set goals for each other, so we'll do that soon. I think one will be to get in the Round 1 squad. the rising star / Brownlow double, wait til year 2 to go for the Coleman and Norm Smith"

Looking forward to seeing Eddie wearing the historic CX-5 on his back next season.

Is there a way we can get North posters tested after visiting other teams boards? Psicosis not pointing any fingers but ever since you tried posting some sense on the Tigers CCJ thread this board has become infested with Richmond nuffies.

Your obsession with North is genuinely the funniest, yet somehow saddest thing on Bigfooty.

Looking around the other club boards, bloody hell is Trent underrated by casual observers. It's been mentioned in here but so much of what he does you don't see on TV. Defensive running, smart positioning, efficient but not risky disposals etc. It's not a coincidence that our turnaround in...

Obviously Ben didn't get a chance to play on Robin Nahas back in the day.

Jesus, a couple of absolutely shameful posters in this thread with the lazy calls. He had one passage of play in the last quarter where he was outworked through the middle and forward by an endurance machine in Clayton Oliver. It's his first season playing big minutes in the middle, so his...

Best case scenario for us is Higgo gets himself a flag in 2021, retires on a high and then comes back to us in a development role. His real value to North would be as a role model and teacher, if we can get that in a year plus a 2nd rounder we've done very well.

All of this is already known between the trading partners. We wouldn't be in a room with another team if we weren't open to trading Brown. We also don't have RFA rights, as he is just out of contract. There is f*** all difference in leverage between now and yesterday, all we've done is said...

The more I think about this, the happier I am with the approach from the club. Brady has made an emphatic statement that our list management decisions will not be played out by the media as it has in previous years. We have long been a bargaining tool used by agents to get better deals for...
