Did I beat GR?
Going by Brady’s demeanour today, I wonder if we think he’s a pain in the arse that we’d be better off moving on.
yeah, wouldnt be surprised if he, Viney and Brady have had a chat to Jyza and co and, if the rumours about JHF being disliked are true, that conversation has led to an acceptance that we should get maximum value for him now instead of waiting a year to see if we can change his mind because while Jack may be captain on paper, i think it's pretty clear that Jy is the voice of that dressing room
The irrational ones would be - though that would be as equally egregious as asking for pick 8 and Butters.
Butters would be in the top 3 players talent wise at Port. I'm not sure they'd even trade Butters for JHF straight up let alone including pick 8.
For argument's sake - let's hypothetically say the offer from North was Butters and 8 for JHF. I can clearly see the incentive for North - gets an elite talent yet to enter the prime of his career who has already had multiple game winning moments, in addition to a reasonably high first round pick to accelerate a rebuild. Not to mention it gets them off JHF who for all intents and purposes became a distraction by the end of this past season more than anything.
Where is the incentive for Port in such a trade? Such a trade doesn't plug any hole at Port - it would simply be one forward/midfielder hybrid for another, combined with the loss of a top asset being a top 10 pick. It just doesn't make sense from their perspective.
Easy to say "ok well we will hold onto him and can revisit this in 12 months time if necessary." You've got a player who doesn't want to be there, and dare I say it is not as if any one would expect North's fortunes to turn around so suddenly that JHF would pivot and choose to stay at North in 12 months time. At that point he's out of contract. Given his ties to Port he'd most likely pick them over the Crows in 12 months, and then we're playing this same carousel of sorts.
If you take the emotion out of it on both sides it is clear at least from my perspective that there is a trade to be had that will satisfy both sides - one that will allow both clubs to come out looking like winners with their various supporter bases. If I were to guess, it'll be closer to pick 8, a future 1st and a steak knives type pick or pick swap than it would be to two 1st round picks and a top talent from Port.
Let's get the popcorn and see how it plays out. I spoke to someone who is very well connected to the Port side of things and they were adamant the deal was going to get done based on discussions Port and North have had over the last few days. Guess we will find out soon!
How powerful would it be to have Clarko sitting in front of Butters putting our case forward for him to join. But not so unfortunately.
Imagine what the playing group would think of him ostentatiously skipping rehab - especially ice baths!! - while Cunners is busting a gut to get back onfield.
Sorry I didn't read that as I don't give a s**t.
When the ice bath thing happened I thought about Cunners and how as a teenager he’d stop on his way home after games at night to do recovery in a river.
At 16.
It is no wonder he’s turned into the shinboner he is. He was living Victoria Amat Cumin before being drafted.
As for the other kid, he has ego based on very little output on an AFL field. God knows what he’ll be like with a huge contract and a multi pick deal to get him.
Worth noting that we also said this in 2022, 2019 and 2018... and it was very much the expectation to be top 4 in 2016 and 2015 as well. Port has a strong record for making this sort of claim in the last decade and yet when push comes to shove are about 50/50 on following through. We finished 11th this year, have lost Gray and Amon, and are likely not going to get much more out of Boak, Dixon or Lycett. We do have a huge potential amount of organic growth in our younger ranks with potential stars, but its all a gamble as to whether it all comes together next year. We're probably as likely to finish 14th as we are to win the flag in 2023.Pick 8 this year becomes 9 post Ashcroft bid. We also know there is a clear top 5 in this draft, which we won’t get access to.
Port are on the record of saying they “must” play finals next year. That future first is best case Pick 12 (if they play finals). There are a couple GC academy kids that are expected to go top 5-10 next year, which makes 12 become Pick 14 (best case).
If we drop our pants and receive 9 and 14 (best case) for JHF, we may as well just shut up shop.
Noble is so far up his own arse it's not funny. Do they take calls? Can anyone ask him if it's true Zurhaar was going to leave if he stayed on?LOL. This blokes just as much of a gaslighter as Scott.

As for the other campaigner...hurry up and kick his arse to the curb. Sick of seeing him in a North guernsey.

I do find it very cringe listening to Noble speak about North if the rumours floating around are anything to go by. What I can’t understand is how accepting SEN and trade radio are of him, saints getting him on to do a club review and the general industry is ect. If these rumours are true why is everyone so buddy, Buddy with Nobes?
Hang on.....I keep getting told we're irrelevant....Everyone is so Buddy Buddy because he’s relevant. He coached North this year and we’re the biggest story. It’s good media. He’s a football person.
I see this as much of him staying in the game. People will be keeping a very close eye on how he handles himself and so far he hasn’t really spoken too much out of school.
He’s at the Saints, was Norths coach, been at other clubs for a long time and he hasn’t publicly given anything up. He’ll end up at the AFL imo.
If push came to shove, suspect the Crows would match the $800k per year.Just to throw a few more options in there, how about
4. Adelaide's F1 and Rachele
5. P8 + f1 + whatever we need to get Clark done
Did he pay JHF a visit?Clarkson can still call him and even visit him.
I thought the same but given we’ve been so steadfast saying he will have nothing to do with it for now wouldn’t it get out if he was making contact with players etc?Clarkson can still call him and even visit him.
SEN employs Cane Toad Cornes.. they aren’t exactly fussy types..I do find it very cringe listening to Noble speak about North if the rumours floating around are anything to go by.
