A daughter, you say?

 

[Luke72]

Proof Jamie can stick a tackle! Well done Sir.

Reckon North brings Jmac back for a rd 17/18 game and then says farewell at the end of the year. Hard as it is I don't know if he'll be able to accept mostly playing in the 2nds next year so given those circumstances he may ask for a trade. Strong conversations will have been had between Jmac and coaching/list staff before he headed back to Melbourne so we'll see what happens.

 

[Luke72]

Jamie is a required player, the fact he’s been in the leadership group shows his standing internally. He will be there next year.

Damn you Luke, you level headed bastard

Agreed

 

[Mr north man]

Damn you Luke, you level headed bastard

Agreed

Maybe if a VFL/EAFL team happens as North Melbourne then make him Captain the AFL has passed even tho he played well in the game against the red and blue cheats time to give him another role within the club

 

[shinboner magic]

Would give him a one year contract as backup.
It’s time the next gen take over.

Why?

 

[Waussie]

Depth 1 year

 

[giantroo]

Looks like his season is done according to the AFL website.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Fair enough.

He'll get another year, no point going back now.

 

[tiltraise]

Depth 1 year

28yo depth players are only useful if your having a tilt at the flag.

Hopefully some team picks him up as a FA and we get 3rd round compo.

Has been delisted

“I want to thank the club for giving a skinny 18-year-old kid a shot at making it,” Macmillan said.

“It’s been an unbelievable ride over 11 years and this club holds a special place in my heart.


“While I’m disappointed it has come to an end at North, I understand the decisions are in the best interests of the club, and wish everyone involved nothing but success.”

Macmillan played in seven finals games with the Roos and was awarded life membership in 2019.


“Jamie has been a reliable defender for the club and has played an important role for us down back for the best part of the last decade,” North coach Rhyce Shaw said.


“His reliability and flexibility to play on talls and smalls was a real asset, but more than that, his leadership and team-first attitude was always his biggest strength and he will be missed.”


Macmillan’s season was cut short when he exited the club’s Queensland hub after Round 11 for the arrival of his first child.

Best of luck Jamie. Hope you get another playing gig if thats what you want.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Best of luck Jamie.

I reckon you're stiff mate.

Stay North.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Really thought he still had something to offer, especially if he was allowed to play up the ground. I've been critical of him across the journey, but the fact is, he is a good north man.

Thanks Jaime.

 

[the flying ham]

Best of luck JMac!

Stiff. I wouldnt begrudge him or Marley an extra year. Atley needs to wake up and look around at what happened to a few of his mates who didnt reach their full potential.

No where to hide.

 

[the big lebowski]

Thanks Jmac. Plenty of good footy for the club. Good luck for the future.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Great career at North, gave us years of service.

 

[SammyRoo]

Class act with his statement.

 

[Reagan Smash]

I wasn't his biggest fan, but I'm totally surprised that he got cut

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Had some very good games for the club, unfortunately in the last couple of years the game had simply passed him by with his style of play.

Would not be shocked to see him be picked up by someone else.

All the best.

 

[Phillyroo]

Totally fine with this call.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Goodnight, sweet prince.
