Talked about Jed on a couple occasions before signing. That filled me with confidence that he would. WW on the other handThey won’t list him until he’s contracted. And they’ll wait to see what’s around before committing. I reckon he’ll get another year.

Achilles not ACL. So any paceyness will be long gone unfortunatelyGallucci pacey mid former first rounder in the jy draft but did a acl last year could be worth a gamble as a free hit

North Melbourne is planning for big things to come on and off the field, after a bumper trade and free agency period according to CEO, Ben Amarfio.
“We’ve made some strong statements in the last couple of weeks,” Amarfio said.
“We’re all working methodically on a long-term plan. Some of those decisions have been painful to make, but they’re the decisions that will help turn the club around.”
A special panel comprising Amarfio, GM Football Brady Rawlings, Head of Player Personnel Scott Clayton and List Manager Glenn Luff, convened to answer member questions on Friday afternoon and covered a range of topics.PLAYERCARDSTARTBrady Rawlings

Clayton, who has had decades of experience in the AFL said the club was on the brink of something special as it prepares to enter the draft with its strongest hand in years.
“As much as we’ve enjoyed bringing the players in this week, we’re ready to go to the draft, which is where it gets really exciting.”
“We’ll have five picks in December. We’re so set out, and so excited.
“I fully expect media and fans to say next year, ‘Gee, North Melbourne’s exciting’.”
Luff, who spent 20 years at Champion Data before joining North, said the acquisitions of Aidan Corr, Lachie YoungPLAYERCARDSTART4Aidan Corr

“The other thing we looked at was speed in the front half of the ground, and Jaidyn and Atu bring that.”
Video: https://www.nmfc.com.au/video/83616...dal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1605247200001
The club is planning and developing Tristian Xerri as our next ruck to take over from Goldy.
Was Brady sitting on the can while taking that video call? (6mins30secs)
Remember last night when some of them were convinced Stephenson alone would get them a taste of pick 2.
I remember.
It's a fair point - if it is true that every club knew he was out the door.When discussing Ben Brownand why it was telegraphed that we wanted him out, Clayton brought up what the Pies did last night. Which situation would you have preferred?PLAYERCARDSTART50Ben Brown

Probably the only club willing to offer 4 years? Was that the contract he ended up signing? Think Brady made it clear that it was the length of the contract that was the biggest issue and not necesarily the $ valeu.Interesting that Brady outright says that Brown only had one suitor. Was wondering whether they just had the most compelling offer for him, or if at the end of the day after due diligence etc they were the only ones still interested.
I have not seen the club talk up such an inexperienced KPF to this extent before.Luffy a massive wrap for Charlie.
Regarding the list , we aimed for speed in the midfield and the front half and for the backline, we needed to look forward 3-4 years ahead.
First couple picks - best talent
Needs with later picks
I've always believed he was the heir apparent and nothing I've seen from X has made me think otherwise.The club is planning and developing Tristian Xerri as our next ruck to take over from Goldy.
