Would you be willing to get rid of Car Keys if need be?
I would be. I'm happy with our KPP depth, even without L.Delaney and Pedersen.

Say we start with Thompson, Grima, Petrie, Hansen and Tarrant. That still leaves C.Delaney, Kennedy, Black and Daw waiting in the wings. All of those guys have had good form in the VFL and need to get games soon. The flexibility of Hansen and Tarrant makes it easier.

Can I ask North Melbourne supporters, can Delany Kick ?

If he can I'm sure we'll definitely be looking at him

Delaney isn't a bad kick. I hope we keep him and reckon Hawthorn will come-a-knocking. Some on the North board don't rate Car Keys, but name any fullback who isn't made to look ordinary when your midfield is being gutted like a fish?

How does Car Keys compare to Spare Keys?

Similar skills due to being brothers or something?
Spare Keys looks to be the more athletic of the two and from what I have seen should be the better player. Hard to judge his skills too much due to limited time at AFL level but looks ok so far.

They are both different players so pretty hard to compare.

I think we get the point WC supporters, Mitch Brown's girlfriend plays for the WA Fever
Sadly you don't seem to get the point.

I pointed out yesterday to one Saints fan that he is under contract and happy at the club, the response I got was "contracts mean nothing".

What is so difficult to understand about the situation? When people stop suggesting their club may be targeting Mitch Brown and therefore he could be moving back to Melbourne, then WC supporters will no longer need to correct them.

But the fact is that teams are targeting him.

haha. His decision making then?
Lack of experience/confidence at AFL level and given at times we are defensively inept in the middle, it puts the backline under extreme pressure. I seriously doubt he would leave, I think his manager is just firing the cannons across the bow of the ship to say if he doesn't get a fair go he will be gone after 2013.

He is actually a beautiful kick of the football over distance but I don't think he backs himself with the footy. His short distance kicking can be below par at times depending on the pressure he is under. He made some absolute howlers this year while the footy was in his hands. Sells teammates into trouble to often with short pissy little handballs. It's something that I think can be ironed out of his game quickly.

I'd hate to see north lose him because he has the genuine strength to go with the gorillas and we have put 4 years into him.
Something like that. Skills are fine but is prone to the occasional brain fade. Good on big forwards but struggles against more nimble ones.

Would fit perfectly at Hawthorn, better FB than Schoenmakers... probably a better FB than anyone on their list... I can't believe they prefer Schoenmakers over Gilham.
