Recommitted Ben McKay [re-signed until 2023]

[Bojan KantKick]

You'd imagine North would front-load too and look at FAs from next year. I suspect on-field they become a more attractive destination than clubs like Hawks and Collingwood very soon.

Yeah, we have to pay someone to get to the salary cap floor. Especially with Tyson and Hall ooc and on decent coin.

 

[james Dean]

Mate, if we put him up at that price right now every club in the league would bite our hand off.

Matt Rendell was saying yesterday he'd be in All Australian discussions.

21 year old KPD being spoken about like that?

Any pick trade for Ben would be in single digits.

It’s pretty impressive that the 21 year old Ben McKay is two years younger than his twin brother.

Ben has been great but Rendell lives on a different planet to the rest of us. Doesn't have a clue.

bloke is a very under rated gun of a FB

North should play him forward. Looks great as a defender but the upside seems to high not to play him forward.

Doesn’t have to be now but would be silly not to in the future imo

With the min salary cap rules.

It would be odd to not offer harry a huge bag

No idea how close they are but could try and be sneaky by paying Ben an inflated salary if his brother joins the club.

Or a long term contract for his brother.

It sounds like sensible list management of give harry a big front loaded deal like jack martin

I meant in addition to offering Harry big money.

 

[Euku]

would a first rounder do it?

 

[Benj7]

If he wanted to leave then yes, he is out of contract I think so that’s fair. If he wasn’t I think he would demand more than that.

You can pay him so much more than anyone else I can’t see him leaving.

 

[james Dean]

Doubt he’ll leave as north can offer a kings ransom

But if he did want out he’d be a good replacement for Jones

OOC but we will have the first pick in the PSD. I think by the end of the year he will be worth more than a first rounder.

PSD is a good way for him to hike up his price , jack Martin is an example . Ben and his manager set the price either North or club that want his give him want he want. Win win situation for him

We could match whatever any club is willing to pay for him. Even if he heavily front loaded his contract, North could match it.

I just said that , you got the money why waste time here talking about two first round pick from other club . You either want him to extend his contract or you don't , he could even sign one year deal and out of contract again next year. Do you really want no 1 PSD pick every year .

McKay has a decision in all of this as well. Players don’t always just leave for the highest bidder. I’m not saying this is the case with McKay, but some players leave for success, to relocate, more opportunity, club direction, unrest within the club or he could possibly want to play with his brother. If McKay chose to leave for any of the above reasons then obviously that’s where picks would come into play. North having the number 1 PSD pick cancels out any OOC leverage an opposition club would usually have.

Has re-signed until 2023, not the long contract I would have hoped but locked away for a couple of years takes a lot of stress away from North.

A few clubs sniffing around, so good result.

Now for Harry.
