:straining: Glad Patful came, in 2015 I was always a bit more confident knowing he was down back when the ball went there. Get it's time, and pity he wasn't sent out with a GF at least.

Sleazy Young said in his latest interview GERs advised Pickett he wouldn't get a game next season!

Interesting. Could be an attempt to give him a kick up the arse.
 
The Giants are believed to have discussed Pickett with North, who is contracted for 2017, as part of a larger trade that could also involve GWS midfielder Paul Ahern. However, while the Roos remain open to a deal involving Pickett, 2014's No.4 draft pick appears determined to head to Ikon Park, where he knows former Giants Jed Lamb, Andrew Phillips, Lachie Plowman and Liam Sumner, and fellow West Australian Patrick Cripps.If the Giants can't reach a trade with the Blues, who are also seeking to broker a deal for GWS key defender Caleb Marchbank, Pickett at this stage would prefer to serve out the final year of his contract at GWS.

Cam McCarthy interview, post trade. His opening comments are that he's thankful for the time at GWS, sat this year out as he didn't think he could play his best football.

Good luck with that pick #3, I hope it proves to be gold for you.
He hasn't changed still very shy, dont think anyone will manage to get him in front of the Cameras much. Not that important I guess.
Lòoks healthy and that's what matters.
 
How embarrassing for North Melbourne, kid can't get a game and doesn't want to know about them.

They are in so much pain...8 years of misery I reckon.

Not sure what North's beef is with us.

Apparently they were the rival team initially into Tuohy and offering a larger and longer contract than us.

Then we hear they have joined the race for Hrovat when it looked like we had him done deal...again a a larger contract offering.

Now they trying to get Pickett lol.

Youre basing all that on what reporters are saying! So many times you see reports of players going everywhrre and then end up elsewhere! The roos a few weeks back were linked to that many guys over 28 it wasnt funny yet we havent got one yet and now have been linked to all young blokes

That's how I read it too. Literally, he's not playing but he's on the list so that we only have to count 50% of his payout/salary under the cap.

Is this because he was recently recontracted for next year? Hard to understand this, either its a grand plan around the list reduction stuff or making the best of a total balls up by re-signing somebody who changed his mind and wanted to retire a few months later. Or even option C he pulled the pin to keep someone like Corr from asking for a trade which would fit in with how highly he is spoken about as a person.

He was contracted for next year but it was an automatic extension that was in his existing contract. We didn't re-sign him.

A good career from a well respected bloke. The class of the guy can be summed up by the fact that I doubt any fan at either Brisbane or GWS has ever really had a bad word to say about him.

Brisbane and GWS always come up with fair deals to help each other out. No doubt next year when we need the academy points a reverse trade to this might happen. Great relations between both clubs. It's good to see.

Yep, Us North/NEAFL clubs need to stick together.... even if it means playing nice with the swans.
 
People worried about us going from 3 firsts to 2 must remember that we still have to trade Steele, marchbank, Stewart, etc.

I think we also need to start looking at some future picks to bring in.
