    Rookie Draft

    i know it is a bit pointless talking about rookie draft because we have little idea about who will be there. We have 4 rookie spots available. Club has said we will rookie Delaney if still there. I would support giving a rookie spot to Nahas. Until injured I thought he was lively and gave value...

    Just thinking

    What would Jack have got if he hit Westhoff in the manner Walker did. Cannot believe Walker did not get weeks for that.

    Rookie draft discussion

    Keath remains one of those left-field options that is never far from the surface, a richly talented footballer who was looked upon as a 200-game key defender during his school years at Melbourne Grammar. PICK ME: EXCLUSIVE VIDEO OF THE HOTTEST DRAFT PROSPECTS Watch the 2013 AFL Draft LIVE on...

    Rookie draft discussion

    There are two previously top ten prospects who elected to play cricket and have returned to football. Alex Keath and Meyrick Buchanan. Might be worth a look.

    List Mgmt. End of season trades and delistings

    I do not think the delistings will be all that difficult. There are 8 players on list who could be traded or delisted. Their numbers are: 4,11,15,19,24,28,33,and 36

    RIP Robert Smith

    Thanks Go Kangas. Nice to know that my advancing years still allows me to dredge up names from the past. Eddie was a great bloke and a terrific foil for Robert.

    RIP Robert Smith

    Sad news. Last time I spoke to Rob was outside the footy having a quiet smoke with both of us lamenting that we should give up, especially as Rob had just come out of hospital. He was a great North person and a consummate hospitality person.twenty years ago I took my mum, sister and wife for a...

    Past #42: Scott McMahon - club won't renew contract (29/9) & Loose retires (13/10) - thanks Loose

    Cleaning out some old papers and came across 2003 phantom drafts and actual draft. What surprised me was to realise that Scott was our third round rookie choice. I think we tend to forget how many good players come from the rookie list. Gibson was our first choice rookie. Phantom draft...

    North Ballarat v Collingwood

    Mabon a late withdrawal and reserves ruckman hurt in an earlier game. No one in this game commanding a senior spot unlike last week. Garner a lot bigger than I thought.

    2013 scheduling

    After downloading calendar to i calendar and then looking at fixture I realise just how terrible our game times are. For a side that finished in the eight it is bloody disgraceful.

    On what planet does Gold Coast versus saints outrate nth v collingwood. This game has prime time free to air and we have pay tv crap time. It is neither fair nor logical.

    Calendar download

    A while back there was a link that allowed us to download a fixture and it automatically went into our calendar which was a great help in planning. Does this still exist and if so can anybody provide details.

    Baked Potato Cup - Geelong

    I think we are in desperate need of two key defenders. We appear to have a surfeit of tall forwards but few options, if any down back. Maybe the thinking is that one or two of those key forwards will develop into a key defender. I suspect they may be regretting not taking Brisbane's second round...

    The OFFICIAL 2012 Draft thread: Picks 15, 38, 42, 48, 58, 63

    You are forgetting Boomer who goes from vets to senior list under new rules. So you must start from 40 n0t 39. Gee, this is fun!

    The OFFICIAL 2012 Draft thread: Picks 15, 38, 42, 48, 58, 63

    The math [or arithmetic] from the North site do not seem to work out unless we are going to delist a couple more than we have thought. It would not surprise me to see Mabon delisted at the second list lodgement if we pick up someone like Currie. As well, Kennedy may be on thin ice. We may also...

    List Mgmt. The Official 2012 Trade, Free Agency and List Management Mega Thread

    With all this talk of bringing in players etc we should be clear about what that does to our list. This year the rules were a senior list of 38 plus up to 2 veterans if you had them. You can then add 6 rookies and up to 8 rookies if you had no vets for a total of 46 per club. We had our 38 plus...

    List Mgmt. The Official 2012 Trade, Free Agency and List Management Mega Thread

    We have 41 on list including the 3 to be upgraded rookies, so effectively 38. Nobody has yet answered my questions as to whether rookie upgrades count as part of your minimum 3 draft picks. These rules are confusing, hopefully Donald is across them all!!!

    List Mgmt. The Official 2012 Trade, Free Agency and List Management Mega Thread

    I do not think that is right though I do not blame you as these rules are confusing and change yearly. Veterans now can be as many as you have and the great advantage is that $100k odd is shaved off their salary cap price e.g if you have 6 veterans then you get $600K odd off your salary cap. The...

    List Mgmt. The Official 2012 Trade, Free Agency and List Management Mega Thread

    Can anybody tell me if a rookie elevation counts as part of the 3 picks you must have in the draft. i.e is it possible to have no decent picks in the draft and use later picks to elevate/draft a rookie? Those advocating Hine/ Toy etc for 38 need to look also at playing list. Bring in an extra...

    Trading is not a game. Some of you need to chill out. There is an easy way to bring in some real talent. Trade out some real talent. Hands up those who want to trade out basti, jack or atley . Have a look at our list and realise it is set at 40 and must be 37 prior to draft. Who do you want to...

    List Mgmt. The Official 2012 Trade, Free Agency and List Management Mega Thread

    Given Adelaide have withdrawn from Tippett negotiations and the likelihood that GWS would pounce in the pre-season draft I would offer the Swans a way out out of their dilemma. How about pick 14 for Gary Rowan? I also note that PA are looking for defenders. How about Scott McMahon, Matty...

    What I would like to see is Hansen to GWS and our pick 14. We get pick 3 plus access to mini draft where we pick up young Kelly

    Josh Caddy

    Just a thought. If swans need something extra for Tippett maybe pick 14 for Rowan may be to their liking. A speed machine who would add more to our list than caddy in my opinion. Also I am tiring of all the Caddy "show stuff". Just decide and we can all get on with it.

    Keith Greig - Do we honour him enough?

    I have many great moments watching Keith Greig but one stays in my memory. It was against StKilda at Arden St. Greig had the ball and pursued by two saints. He dodged and weaved and eventually the two saints bumped each other and as they were falling to the ground Greig turned and went back...

    West Coast in Hobart

    Was thinking of going but the ticket sales are a bit awkward. Ticket sales for July 7 match open on June 4 a little over 4 weeks before the match. Do not want to book flights in case I cannot get tickets. The packages mostly do not include tickets or flights. Anybody found a way to overcome this?

    How good was Sam Kekovich?

    Sam was one of the best I saw albeit a flawed champion. Not noted for adherence to strict training he had that X factor. I saw him at Arden St playing at CHF and carving up Delahunty the Collingwood CHB. He kicked 1.7 before half time as I recall. He was powerful and crashed through packs. Had...
