unders? really? 1.1 a year for 9 years is unders? shit, what was your initial offer to dusty again? no wonder he wanted to bleed you guys dry....
I thought it was $900k over nine years? I must have missed the memo when North upped in to 1.1 million over the same period of time.

I'm personally not buying that Carlton is in with a shot. SOS targets our players because he originally drafted them. However, I think Kelly will only choose North if he leaves.

Whatever the deal was that you offered Kelly, surely it'll be beefed up now that Dusty stayed at Richmond? Dusty staying makes Kelly's defection seem more likely now.

Or less likely. If GWS miss out again why would he leave another shot at success to spend another few years down the bottom? Kelly is good but even with him its bottom 4 again for North next year youd think

Haha its everyone take on North. Rivalries have come together as one to give it to the North supporters. Game of thrones, North are the white walkers, except unfortunately unlike the white walkers in game of thrones, North can't recruit anyone onto their team. SMFH
North is the North and Brad Scott is Jon Snow.

yep at peak time......considering nm start the day between 7 and 730, and finish well b4 peak times gat is inaccurate.
also, buying a house doesnt mean you live there. you can lease it out, and rent elsewhere.
Traffic won't matter for him anyway. If he chooses North he'll fly his helicopter while the rest of the players line up at cash converters

I actually don't want Kelly at North purely for the Lol's. I don't think I can ever remember a time when a whole club invested so much energy and emotion into a potential recruit and be so adamant that they are coming.
It is unlikely now. I suspected Kelly would consider North, but only if they landed Martin. Now I think the chances of North landing Kelly are very low.

I wonder how North are going to explain why A...they offered Dusty more and B they called Kelly the plan B option. It's not the sort of way to try to attract A grade talent I would have thought.
So much this.....to have your North offer increased because Dusty knocked the club back would be a bit insulting I'd have thought.

As mentioned, it is GWS, Carlton or bust for Josh.

Despite North's offer and supposed contact, naturally players in the modern AFL world must actually agree to a move.

Startling, but the truth.

Paying him with monopoly money?

Probably should have done that with mayne and wells actually
Sidey is probably on $750k-$800k.
Cloke was on $800k last year.
Swan was on the same last year as well.
No doubt would have front loaded Wells and Mayne (I wouldn't have thought $450k-500k pa for Mayne with the new agreement is more than average anyway).

The Pies would have plenty of room. It's a matter whether they are building up for a tilt at Lynch.

But we could do with a Kelly, and Sidey could be a player GES could do with.
