We want McKay to stay, says Clarkson​

---

Alastair Clarkson is hopeful of convincing free agent Ben McKay to remain at North Melbourne but is confident the club will prosper whatever the key defender decides.

McKay, 25, is reported to have attracted interest from rival clubs as he becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the AFL season, his eighth with the Kangaroos.

Four-time premiership coach Clarkson is no stranger to free agency, having seen superstar forward Lance Franklin leave Hawthorn to sign a nine-year contract with Sydney at the peak of his career in 2013.

"We want him to stay," Clarkson said of McKay at Arden St on Thursday.

"But I've been involved in this caper for a long, long period of time and there's probably no bigger player in the game than 'Buddy' Franklin.

"He was one of the first of the first free agent players to leave. And we weren't happy with it at the time because we obviously wanted him to stay at Hawthorn.

"But the club was still able to prosper once he left. He was also able to prosper as a player (at Sydney), and so everyone can still win from these situations.

"So if Ben decides to stay … we feel like he's just ready to blossom into a really, really good key defender. He's already a good key defender, but his best seven or eight years should be in front of him now.

"But if he was to leave, then that's his choice. That's the whole situation with free agency, and you've got to be prepared for both sides."

Clarkson said there had been "ongoing dialogue" with McKay, and it was unlikely the big defender had already made up his mind.

"The culture of our game is you don't usually make your decision until the season's finished," Clarkson said.

"That's what we'd expect and we'll probably find out in two or three weeks' time."

Veteran Liam Shiels is another whose future will be decided in the off-season, and Clarkson said the club's need to keep a blend of youth and experience would be considered when making decisions about the playing list.

Kangaroos legend Jack Ziebell plays his final game on Saturday against Richmond at the MCG, following last week's farewell to club champ Ben Cunnington and the retirement of 161-gamer Aaron Hall.

"We've got to be mindful of the balance of our list and the amount of experienced guys that go off the list," Clarkson said.

"It's one thing to go really, really skinny in terms of experience, and another where you want to actually keep some of that experience around, too.

"So with the retirements of 'Ziebs' (Jack Ziebell) and 'Hally' (Aaron Hall) and also 'Cunners' (Ben Cunnington), that might play into our thinking that Shiels might play for another year, but we'll work that out in the fullness of time.

"It's the same with 'Goldy' (Todd Goldstein), too."

Good to have you back Al.

I've missed you.

Elijah hollands dropped completely out of suns squad…. We should be having a huge go.

They want to get rid of him. Issue is he isn’t very good.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Sounds like Shiels will get another year. I think it's a good move given Cunners and Ziebs are leaving. We need on field leadership, and our current captains aren't providing much of it.

 

[footy2016]

They want to get rid of him. Issue is he isn’t very good.

Disagree. Played less than 15 games. Been down this year however showed alot last year.

Let’s be honest, he walks into our 22 and suits our age demographic. Upside is enormous.

Only issue is we have a development issue….

‘NORTH OR NOTHING’ PROSPECT FOR EAGLES AS TOP WA STAR IMPRESSES AGAIN

Top WA prospect Daniel Curtin continues to enhance his prospects, with the Claremont star producing another impressive outing at the top WAFL level.

After a strong 21-disposal, four-mark display against East Fremantle, Curtin backed it up against Peel Thunder – Fremantle’s WAFL affiliate – last weekend, finishing with 20 disposals, six marks and three rebound 50s, with his first-half performance particularly noteworthy.

While Dockers-listed players Matt Taberner (2 goals), Bailey Banfield (4) and Liam Reidy (2) all played on Saturday, Curtin spent most of the game manned up on 191cm Peel-listed forward Ben Middleton, who ended up kicking three second-half goals.

Foxfooty.com.au understands West Coast list manager Rohan O’Brien and recruiting boss Duane Massey were both at Lane Group Stadium watching the Peel-Claremont clash. Despite not formally interviewing Curtin prior to last weekend’s match, the Eagles have been strongly linked to the versatile 195cm prospect, who was WA’s national championships MVP after showing ample class playing as both a key defender and midfielder.

West Coast seems destined to finish on the bottom of this year’s AFL ladder, which would subsequently hand it Pick 1 in the national draft.

Powerful and versatile 185cm Bendigo Pioneers Harley Reid is widely tipped to be taken with Pick 1 in this year’s draft after a stellar junior footy campaign. The question is, though, which club will hold the first selection, with speculation West Coast could be open to trading the pick.

Multiple clubs suggested to foxfooty.com.au last month the Eagles might be prepared to slide down the order if they could ‘guarantee’ Curtin would still be available at their new pick.

And considering Curtin has now established himself as a top-five talent, the Eagles couldn’t afford to slide too far down the order if they’re, indeed, keen to acquire the local star.

While Melbourne, which holds Picks 5, 15, 24 and 34 as it stands, has been linked to a potential play for the top draft selection, the sense among clubs is that North Melbourne would be the only club West Coast would deal with should it wish to trade Pick 1. One recruiter told foxfooty.com.au: “It’d be North or nothing.”

The Kangaroos hold Picks 2 and 16, while most expect them to be handed a compensation selection for losing free agent Ben McKay, who remains unsigned beyond this season. That pick could land after North’s natural first-round, which would be Pick 3.

North Melbourne last month indicated it was keen to draft a key defender this year, with list boss Brady Rawlings telling members he was “aware we haven’t picked very tall over recent seasons”. Rival clubs said they could see the Kangaroos taking Curtin with a top pick, but also wouldn’t be surprised if North made a play for West Coast’s No. 1 selection and, subsequently, Reid.

While Curtin was impressing for Claremont, Peel Thunder on-baller Clay Hall continued to boost his prospects ahead of the draft.

Playing his seventh WAFL league game of the season, Hall racked up 20 disposals and three tackles playing for the Dockers’ affiliate side.

Hall, the son of former Eagles and Cats forward Derek Hall, has put together an excellent 2023 campaign, both at WAFL and national championships level, to put himself in the early second-round draft mix. He’s an appealing midfielder for AFL clubs considering his professionalism, size and outstanding aerobic capacity, with one scout indicating he’d be in the first-round mix if his decision-making improved.

“It’d be North or nothing.” Finally they get it!

I hate the development issues business . During my long drive home today tonight I had that very discussion.
You canny develop some successfully and others not so.
You can’t a make a silk purse out of a shitmen. As the old saying goes

Imo of course

Another midfielder who's too unfit so is a medium forward. I like him, but hard pass.

[The Dingrel]

It comes after Stevens’ hot run at Coates Talent League level, racking up 44, 236 and 33 disposals from his past three matches.

*in hell.. 236 disposals in one game.. where do I sign?..

Must have mistaken him for Sheezel!

Lost a lot of his pace and athleticism with the acl. His tank is still a work in progress.

Totally agree plenty of upside with him.

 

[Samsquanch]

May as well discuss whether Bontempelli can play on a wing

I'm not certain about Bontempelli myself, but Gasometer seems to think he hoes OK. Worth a punt?

 

[Themanbun]

Can Butters play on the wing? We already have LDU, Wardlaw and Phillips in the middle.

Send Powell back home to Adelaide with our F2 and that should do it.

Soz but Butters shits all over the other two at this stage.

 

[Gasometer]

I'm not certain about Bontempelli myself, but Gasometer seems to think he hoes OK. Worth a punt?

Yes

A special Bont Thread will be created when he wins on here

His issue is he has no defensive side, lacks an athletic point of difference and he's a forward flanker or nothing. Unless the ball is in his hands, he's hurting the team.

We don't need this type of player.
