Hey North fans. Let's say all your plans come to fruiton and you land commitments from both Kelly AND Dusty. How do you think North will trade for each?

It's been suggested Gws will want two first rounders for Kelly, which seems about right. Perhaps a first rounder and a player in a pinch, although not sure who they'd want as the list is pretty complete.

Dusty is restricted, and I'd imagine it plays out a little like the Adelaide and Geelong deal for Danger. We wouldn't quite get the same as if he was completely unrestricted, but we'd get decent compo. I'd imagine a top pick and a player (Shaun Atley would go alright)

Complicating further is current ladder position. if north remain second last, if a player gets past Brisbane they can snag him for free in the PSD.

How do you see the trades going down?

We won't be trading for Dusty we'll get him as an RFA.

If Josh nominates that he wants to get to North pick 2 and change should get it done. I can't see us giving up two first rounders for him and I can't see GWS letting him walk to the PSD. A deal will be done.

u dont get anything for him - if he comes to us its because we offered more money. the only thing u will get is more room in your salary cap next year

Titus O'Reilly too. Made the Logan's Run reference this week.
He did too.

Last week, the Kangaroos looked like they’d decided this season was done. You know it’s the end of the year for them, as they’ve started dropping the older players. Lindsay Thomas and Todd Goldstein have been omitted this week.

I’d be worried if I was them. North are a football club roughly based on the 1976 movie Logan’s Run, in which everyone is killed at the age of thirty to stop overpopulation. That strategy has worked wonders for North this year.

Apparently, the Kangaroos are trying to land Dustin Martin and Josh Kelly, a bold move and one to be applauded. It’s win-win for everyone. If they land them it’s a huge success for the club, if they don’t, it will be hilarious, like watching your mate strike out at a nightclub.

I'm not sure sure that will eventuate. I think it would play out much like Danger. Richmond threaten to match the deal, and then it's up to North to call what may be a bluff. North would suspect we won't match the deal or else we'd have offered the money, but it's a big risk. I'd imagine ultimately there'd be some exchange.

Pick 2 and a sweetener is probably right for Kelly. GWS will ask for two first rounders, but North are in a decent position with an early PSD pick so that deal would likely get it done.

If Richmond could match the deal why wouldn't they?

Couldn't Dusty crack a smile after signing a $6.9 Million Contract? :stern look
He's usually cool calm and collected but maybe he's just depressed at the Tigers so you may have a point there after signing with us there should be a smile :)

Higgos massive head and perspective made it difficult for alternative images :)

EDIT: I've put a little cheeky half smile in the file now and updated above

the thing with danger is, he took unders to get home, hence the crows would have matched if a deal wasnt done.
if the tiges match, we wont trade for him. but can they match the offer? so far, they are 300k ish off the mark.
