I know mate, and I thought of you when I read the tweet from "scoop" (honestly who owns them self that floggish name). However I see the sense in letting him walk, and clearing salary space, list space, and hopefully gaining a good young kid through compensation.

I think I'm so numb I don't even really care.

I was holding out some positivity despite our struggles after round 11.

But once we showed Boomer the door, then served up that crap in the EF, not much else that happens at North this year can depress me any further than it already has.

Damn 2016. Damn it to hell.
Worst year of supporting this club in a long time. The first 9 weeks made the fall even worse.

I think so.

The silence is pathetic....or living in the sticks I suppose I have missed Scotts ringing in to KB saying that Wells is a required player?
My take is we made cuts to the senior players knowing that we would need to change approach next year. I think Wells isn't make or break to that, the cut just gets a bit deeper.

I put it on a par with Schwatta.

I even have a pic of me and him holding the 96 Cup.

Imagine the horror of him going at that time....

20 years later it's my favorite North memorabilia.

Difference is Wellsy got donuts at North and didn't get the honour of being in my photo.

Again...it doesn't take much to get out there for 5 minutes and say where we are at.

The Board has been angst all week let alone real life.

Would love the great man back! A genuine superstar, with a forearm smash pack and a booming barrel

The kids are upset about the likely move by Wellsy. My daughter said she is going to go for the Bulldogs. I told her to find a new place to live.
Give her a hug and explain why adults make adult decisions and kids shutup and listen:p

Brad: Geez Wellsy shits me sometimes. He's go so much more potential. Not quite sure how to wring it out.
Chris: I know. Motlops the same for me.
Brad: Motlop? Chris, he'd be a piece of cake.
Chris: Easier than Wellsy? You're kidding, right?
Brad: Not at all. I'd get more out of Motlop than you'd get out of Wellsy.
Chris: You're on!
