Then again you never know what may follow that big fish.Would prefer to keep playing the kids and build our list. Give the good kids contracts they deserve in a couple of years. No point landing a big fish now whilst were at the bottom.
Can’t remember who posted it, but the ‘trigger’ can’t be part of an AFL player contract as it stands under current rules.
So, the CBA section 21.1 (g) says this:
The way I read this, the "8 year extension" isn’t actually a thing, beyond an in-principle agreement to maybe extend the existing deal. While it would burn goodwill with Josh and his agent, GWS are entirely within their rights to say sorry mate, things have changed, COVID, cap reductions, can’t afford it, let’s renegotiate at your market value. This would of course be paving the way for him to leave via FA. I can’t see a sign-and-trade deal getting done either, so no chance of them picking up any of his cap hit.
Put another way, JK doesn’t have a "contract" so much as a "press release".

Completely irrelevant to anything being discussed.North 1972: Finishes last with 1-21
North 1973: Recruits Davis, Rantall & Wade, and debuts Schimmelbusch, Burns, Nolan and Sutton. Finishes 6th.
North 1974: Recruits Cable, Blight and Chisnall. Plays off in the grand final.
It can turn around a lot quicker than you think.

Just need to capitalise on a defunct rule.The key is to bring in some ready made blokes, not just rely on the draft.
Id love that! If JK comes across, i hope the pieces of the puzzle come together just as quickly. Am happy to back in the list build and keep the war chest for our home grown stars in a couple of years though aswell.North 1972: Finishes last with 1-21

I can’t imagine he is doing the extra running that would be needed to be a 2 way midfielder in the modern game. Are you suggesting any of the young guys I posted are contested beasts like Ben that won’t need to work on their 2 way running?
I can't believe this thread still has legs.
Now 24.1When you consider approximately 23.6% of all posts in this thread are about this thread, it could be a lot shorter.

So there was a draft in the early 70’s? You’re comparing the tactics of a club in a state based league with no draft component to the tactics 50 years later on when we have a national competition with drafts, free agency and player trading.The key is to bring in some ready made blokes, not just rely on the draft.

You really are a simpleton.

Recruiting the right players is a no brainer. As long as we dont just buy a good player for the sake of it, like Carton did which ultimately made them no better and have reached their ceiling.Snake is right though, its the ability to become an attractive destination. During the 90's many a top footballer wanted to play with North, we just couldn't fit them in ( salary cap) Alister Lynch is one.
We will need to do more than just rely on the draft or we'll get nowhere. We are in a great position as weve plenty of room in our cap, how could other sides with scant more wins than us be bursting at the seams. The mind boggles.
