Wonder if our boy josh has been in dusty's ear and has played a part in him coming to North
Wouldn't have thought so but Dusty is mates with more players & ex players at North than just Marley and Azza . Good chance they would've told him it's a great club to be at .

He has a strange way of showing at times Tef. And that's not coming from expecting walking wristies from him.
I actually rate him highy because he doesn't compromise himself.

If people can't handle uncomfortable truths, then that's their problem.

He's an award winning journo, not a babysitter for North supporters.

There's an assumption there that just because he's contrary to some supporters interests that he's somehow an impartial doyen of fact. I'd dispute that.

No blatant examples have jumped out at me.

Mind you, it was a bugger to pick up foxtel at the Tibetan Monastery.

Have a vague memory of him stirring shit about Brad and boomer issues last year or something in that ballpark. Claims that later seemed baseless.

His carry on on trade radio that we should TRADE our 2013 first rounder for Dal Santo also seemed a bit juvenile (hat tip Rooboy 96 ).

There were Brad & Boomer issues, relating to Boomers retirement.

He also outed Brads manager enquiring at Brisbane.

Has Brad come out and unequivocally denied this?

Hardly a sin.

Boomer has always said, while he wasn't happy with the decision itself, that he's never had a problem with Brad as he fulfilled his commitment to be honest and to let him know when he knew, which he did. (Arguably, to the detriment of the club's 2016 finals campaign.)

Brad did deny that he had spoken to Brisbane, and he denied instructing his manager to speak to anyone. (The only 'loophole' is that he didn't deny his manager may have spoken to them if they'd inquired.) Brad has repeatedly said if North want him, he wants to stay.

Barrett made it look like there was disharmony, such that Brad was checking out other options.

Dustin Martin is doing a store appearance in Waurn Ponds on Sunday the 13th of August; I might turn up to get him to sign my North Jumper!
Hmmm. Perhaps an opportunity to link Dusty to the Cats? While he is a restricted free agent I think and the tigers only have to match, maybe Geelong as a goodwill gesture, might send Motlop plus Aaron Black the other way?

How can we turn this into a rumour and get one of those "in the know" media types to report it on one of the TV channels?

Someone told me about "dogging" today, never heard about it before but according to Google it's a real thing, now there is walking wristies.

The world is passing me by at a rate of knots.
I heard about docking recently.
