It starts with the letter J..any cryptic clues? Cmon you can't leave it at that.
If we recruit Heath Shaw I'll just about give up.
He's finished as a player, always known as trouble (hence Buckley got rid of him), yet we should get him?
Seriously. Are we that desperate?
I'd rather use that money and put it towards higgins for 2 yearsSomeone didn't watch GWS games. Shaw can still play and was clearly in their best 22.
No reason why we can't do with Shaw what Brisbane did with Hodge.
Pagan wouldn’t have had Polec tagging, and he would have had a game plan that benefitted our key forward.
He had 6 disposal in the game where we outmongroled GWS.
Yeah I thought Heath played pretty well this season, but strikes you as type that could drop off the cliff very rapidly. So long as we go in with open eyes on that basisSomeone didn't watch GWS games. Shaw can still play and was clearly in their best 22.
No reason why we can't do with Shaw what Brisbane did with Hodge.
We did have a gameplan that benefited our key forward and we finished 12th, 9th and 15th.
For someone that had such blind faith in the previous regime you sure have flipped.

And now we have a game plan where we can’t score and finished 17th.
Don’t we have an ageing backline though? Who is a young defender?? McKay, EVW????Someone didn't watch GWS games. Shaw can still play and was clearly in their best 22.

* thought he was worth 2.8m
We thought he was worth 4.25m
Carlton came to the the table with 3m
* added on the extra year to make it 3.5m
Half backs with speed and ball use are worth that in the modern game apparently. Things change
Training over the bye weekend has traditionally been optional, clubs give the players the option to do their own thing. Shaw made the comment in 2019 that when he was at Sydney over 20 attended the club to do their own sessions in his last year there, whilst we had 3 in his first year at north. Standards.Honestly mindboggling Robbo sees the logic in this one first.
What is evidently clear in the cull is this club lacks STANDARDS. We have blokes mouthing off at the coach, complaining where they think they should play and a shitload of blokes who spent their careers dicking around and playing for the next contract.
Most of the blokes we cut couldn't show leadership in the crunch. They were soft. Heath would add some bastard to the joint and will scald them on field on behalf of his brother.
They are going to get flogged in pre-season, utterly murdered. And good, because it's been a long time coming.
It might not be Rhyce holding the cup, but North needs another tyrant. How do you think Pagan or RB would've handled Polec or Brown? Jesus they would have killed them. Trading them is the easy way out.
The logic is insanity. He’s a clown, he is not a leader. The ONLY benefit is he pulls multiple players out of GWS and brings them with him.. if he isnt capable, he doesnt play for us. And to want to bring him in and trade out Higgins for leadership is psychoticHeath Shaw is not Luke Hodge.
FFS.
2x Norm Smith, 4x premiership winning hero versus a smart ass Collingwood now GWS knob.
Is that a typo?We thought he was worth 4.25m
yeah he did, may have even won a bnf at the cattery, not so good for us. Couple of Schimma's as well. Maybe there's a lot of pressure being the younger brother. Maybe there's something behind that, twins seem to do well, perhaps starting out at the same time competing against each other for success drives them. Scotts, Kings, McKays.
We did have a gameplan that benefited our key forward and we finished 12th, 9th and 15th.
For someone that had such blind faith in the previous regime you sure have flipped.
If only it was that simple....And we changed that gameplan and finished 17th...
Heath Shaw is not Luke Hodge.

The only reason you would take Shaw is if he brought Caldwell with him.
I couldn't agree more except to add that we also have Atley on the backline and if required Josh Walker. We have just delisted 3 experienced defenders: Williams, JMac and Pittard to make space to play our young defenders like Perez, Hayden and Bonar. Why on earth would we want to bring in a 35 year old for experience?
Fact.
Theyre desperate. Carlton matched Dodos deal and offered 700 over 4 aswell so * then added on an extra year.
He is going nowhere. Dodoro wont let him leave.
