Hard to do pre-season for us & Carlton. Knee allows him to go train with them

Tradeoff for Brad being the less good looking of the two?

chris just figured out that growing your hair and beard a bit is a cheat code for looking good as an older bloke, and now brad can’t do it without looking like a copier, typical sibling oneupsmanship

Brad should shave his head and get some tatts or something then, go the opposite way

Read somewhere on Blitz that Buckets had 6 coaches for 8 wins at North. Was drafted in 2015.

Especially old men who have weak chins and chubby cheeks.

If that's really Harry, that's the most accurate hit he's had in years

...so if we have 16 wins this season, he will already have been twice as successful with us as he was with NM in 9 years.

Maths can be fun. This will be a good stat to keep co ming back to.

The following from Blitz may or may not be BS.

You think that's McKay?

Subsequent posts clarify that the poster has been told so. Not sure I believe it but it's written with some conviction.

Edit: apparently the size of the contract relative to work ethic is the issue.

Not a great sign. Hopefully it's due to being at North and not knowing or used to elite training standards. Rather than choosing to be lazy. But the not being very popular amongst the group is a concern.
