He’s going to be a great player , North Melbourne we’re very stupid to push him away from the club

Funny, Wardlaw is given leniency due to injury and an interrupted pre season, JHF on the other hand and his injury concerns he carried last year and majority of the pre season, consistently gets overlooked by most North fans when he has a game below 25 disposals.

North were aware that Fabian, Kochie and others were working behind the scenes to white-ant us, but hoped Jason would at least honour his contract.
Not all Carlton supporters believe you deserve the penalty you copped for cheating the salary cap either. All clubs have nuffys.

Wowser. So North knew he was a massive flight risk and still drafted him.

Pretty sure that parochialism relates to the rest of the country dumping on the state for having lockdowns.
Nothing to do with VIC clubs having solidarity with each other.
Maybe you maroons should have taken the seventy five picks Adelaide offered you for pick 1 then?
wouldn't be better than what we ended up getting from the Port/WC/GWS megadeal. I don't know why people keep banging on this like North lost him for nothing, getting Sheezel and Wardlaw in one go will be transformative for our club. It's a win/win.
You were getting cheezels anyway.
If it's a win win, please inform the rest of the Victorian troglodytes who have decided booing JHF is the thing to do.

I wouldn't have thought so, I am cheering for Freo tonight against Richmond and I would say most other vic club fans (whose ladder position is not affected by Freo in any way) feel the same.
If it is a Port Adelaide v Collingwood Grand Final (hypothetically) most neutral Vic club fans (except possibly North fans) would definitely support Port.
Id prefer another lockdown
Gee that has never happened in the AFL before. Wow that is scandalous. I wonder how Polec and Pittard ended up at North.
Sounds like the work Collingwood did behind the scenes to secure Nathan Buckley after his first season with the Bears, despite Brisbane coach Robert Walls' hope that Bucks would give the Bears a few years to present their case.
Should we all collectively start booing Buckley whenever we see him because he didn't give the Bears a fair go?
The bigger shock is that Port found a club dumb enough to take Pittard.
to be fair to his knockers, they wouldn't have known he was playing with very limiting leg issues last year. They should have reassessed after finding out, but I'd imagine they've done that by now. I always found it laughable that the attitude of a kid playing under duress under the worst coach of all time could be questioned. Kid is driven to win and he's playing under a bloke that demanded Paul Roos be isolated from the footy dept. We're talking about a level of toxicity/incompetence/ignorance that rivals the Burton/Pyke/campo/fraudan crows. Not sure if they're lucky or unlucky to have not lost more talent.
meanwhile, we crows pay 5 for a small forward. And we're still running Keays, Sloane and Laird as 3 of our 4-5 mids. They add JHF to Butters, Wines and Rozee with less capital used.

As I said, this is a great trade for port, but rankine is worth every bit of what you traded for him. It comes down to what you have in the trade period unfortunately.

This is true
You'd think they'd twig when Noble comes to them and says that 'Paul Roos provides no value to our footy program, you can have him on gardening leave in admin instead'.
no way is a small forward worth 5, even though he is a high end version. And we saw GC send 7 with a player in a salary dump. We could have gotten him with 5 in the ND, no need to help a competitor improve. At worst we should have gotten a second or 2 back. We didn't have to use 4 in the Dawson deal and even put the first we used on the table with our 2 others trying to get 1 for JHF. The strategies deployed couldn't be more different, we all but thanked GC for only taking 5 from us. It's almost like we had Fagan back at the club demanding a deal get done.

I boo him because he's Nathan Buckley.

Who gets played by a 19 year old? Or was he 18 at the time? I guess the answer in this case is North. It has happened at other clubs.
What's intriquing about this case is what my son would call "the cope". That North are exhibiting such a fierce cope over their loss adds to their embarrassment.
Let it go.
It's a game.
Life is wonderful.
