...and if David Noble had his time again, he might have taken the deal

wise man (Denis Pagan) say: don't be seen talking to fools, as people may not be able to tell the difference

Fearless Prediction #1: North Melbourne announce long term contract extension for Cameron Zurhaar in the week beginning 3 June, providing fresh momentum and a morale-boosting fillip for the struggling club moving into the second half of the season.

... indeed, I'll go further and suggest that Cameron is either getting cheap money from RedZed as part of the deal, and/or he is being paid by RedZed as an affiliate marketer (again as part of the deal) Either way it's good to see the club adopting the modern package - playing contract plus...

doesn't denis pagan count?

and I'm pretty sure Anthony Stevens and Cunners have got a lifestock business? from pasture to plate

He doesn't look to have his heart in it on the field, and there's no crime in that, a young bloke a long way from home.

I don't think we're doing free publicity for the bloke's first business venture - together with a plug for a club sponsor - on the expectation that he walks. marklovesbeer on the money for mine

If every player were judged on 6 games, there wouldn't be many playing

a startlingly definitive conclusion after .... 6 games

Yeah they need somewhere to sit to read the latest rule change

straight swap for RHJ and Free; cut our losses and move on

he's a better field kick than Free, so that's a start

If I had to pick one thing that irritates me about the game (among a few), it would be changing the rules by memo. We have to be the only elite competition in the world where the rules are changed by a new 'interpretation' - might come out in a memo pre-season, might even come out mid-season...

A small forward who tackles like a maniac and sneaks a goal or four who needs one of them

You forgot the bit about pleading guilty to Worksafe charges of failing to maintain a safe workplace

and he might have stayed at North if Ryan Pagan didn't take his place (briefly)

Payne didn't play national champs for the Allies

You might have your drafts in a muddle. Smilie is the favourite for #1 in the national draft at the end of the year. As for Payne, North recruiters spoke to him last Tuesday, and the boy then steps out of yesterday's rep game. Doesn't take a whole lot of dots to join.

well that couldn't be any clearer. Welcome aboard Geordie.

Yes, but the way things are configured, players might get picked but that's not the same thing as an opportunity - to take a North Melbourne example, Charlie Ham was taken mid 2021, and delisted at the end of the year. So a kid comes into a full time professional environment mid-season, doesn't...

Twomey on Gettable saying we're into Ollie Wines...prefer Parker myself, but it's probably a case of beggars can't be choosers

Good post, but JHF was wardlaw and goad

well I don't want to split hairs, but he is averaging 19.9 this year, with the back half still to come, Still, I can't disagree with your general point that his disposal either needs to improve pronto, or we'll be looking elsewhere. The only mitigating consideration this year is that the...

I'm not looking at this from the perspective of club list management, but from the role I think AFLPA should play - most trade unions are trying to lift minimum standards, and eliminate the 'race to the bottom' that MSD candidates have to embrace with a 6 month contract

the south australian beverage connoisseur tends to have the good oil hope so anyway

Lombard was terrific yesterday, BOG for mine

Larkey didn't kick a goal until his 3rd game, 18 months after his debut just sayin'
