"If there is no annoucement before the Geelong v Richmond final, it is safe to say he is gone to North Melbourne" - Mick Warner
Which is where all this stupidity about him announcing this week inevitably leads. Why not let it rest at him letting everyone know after the season is finished? It's old-fashioned, but the club he's at deserves to have him and not be worrying about this until they stop playing. I was very disappointed to have Scott Welsh say he was staying up to the GF celebrations and then leave, but afterwards I was just glad he had that high point with his teammates. Media intrusion has gone way too far and it's not actually in anyone's interests to reveal sooner rather than later.

Dusty will be playing for the North Melbourne Football Club next year... and for 6 years after that. Bloody hell it feels good!
I am in a constant state of emotional paralysis as I want to believe and rejoice, yet dare not allow myself the premature indulgence!

Yeah what are the chances Carr leaked the flight times?
Nah, Stevo would have flown over a day earlier and "just sat in the arrivals area all day looking like an idiot".




The quoted bit comes from my news photographer brother in law, who did that at Perth in case Schapelle Corby took the long way home.

Something not right about Carr going with him. Whole thing feels completely stage managed.......I don't reckon he's coming and I've been very confident all along.
Wtf is Carr doing? This says to me Dusty wants to stay at the onsie wearers and is desperately trying to get them to come to the party with the $.

Absolutely, but the moment it happens I'm unleashing a tirade of memes, gifs and general abuse on 1 particular Tiger mate.

Something that hasn't been witnessed since last night when my Melbourne mate copped it.:D

I've believed for a while that Brad (Scott) is a huge key to the potential signing of Dusty and Kelly.

Like him or not I know for a fact that players that speak with him have nothing but respect for him and his no bullshit approach, he tells you what he's thinking and where you stand, but he will also back you in and tell you exactly what needs to be done. None of the bullshit like Nafan having a select few he likes over the rest of the list.

Say what you will about his coaching prowess (or lack thereof depending on your stance) but he is probably the most personable coach going round and he's a big ticket for list retention and trade talks.

Think back to Waite, Higgins, Dal Santo, Anderson, Ahearn, Williams etc, whats the one defining similarity they mention in regard to their desire to come to North?

Brad.

If we sign Brad for 2 years, I'll be more confident of our chances at signing one or more of our targets.
