He wrote a piece on Mark Neeld earlier in the year (When it was getting pretty clear he'd get sacked) defending him blaming the club etc. Whilst Neeld had to deal with some Melbourne-specific issues he was still a bad coach.
His hate for us is getting to hilarious levels.
Also whilst I agree north have made some good moves in the offseason, the 'premiership challenge' Barrett was talking up was equally hilarious.
Thought this was a good, albeit slightly risky deal.
Get Cross and Vince and it'll look like a really good trade period for us though (No doubt Barrett will rank us a 3/10 or some bullshit).
Milhouse really does hate us for some reason. I know we suck and make bad decisions most of the time, but he has literally never said anything positive about us.
Good trade I think. Pick 54 would have most likely netted a player who won't be at the club in 2-3 years, at least with Michie if he gets his body right we might have a decent player on our hands.
Listening to trade radio is hilarious. They were talking about the differences between Roos at Sydney and Roos at Melbourne, and just as the discussion finished Barrett slips in 'hopefully he doesn't have second thoughts'.
He surely is a north poster on here, I have never heard a journo...
I'm ****ing sick of draft picks. I'd do 20 for Vince in a heartbeat, especially when it is meant to be a weaker draft this year.
We need to win games, not constantly keep up the bs mantra of 'we need to develop players for the future'. That mantra worked really well for us from 2008-2012...
Thought he was a bit more consistent in his last couple years, still never achieved the heights I thought his talent merited. Sure is depressing that McLean/Sylvia ended up being failures, but no point continuing to whinge about our past recruiting I guess. Time to look ahead and have confidence...
3rd quarter is Hawthorns time you'd think, they can probably wrap the game up with a really good quarter but if it is close Geelong will be super confident in the last quarter.
It would be absolutely hilarious if after Scully leaving we ended up with Martin.
Having said that, I don't want him. He is not the type of person we want at the club whilst rebuilding.
I wouldn't expect much if anything at all in a trade involving Blease, but 'potential' wise he is right up there. Good skills and extremely quick, has had struggles with injury and needs a bigger tank though. Just because a player doesn't get many games at an average club doesn't mean they are a...
Glad those players are gone, whilst I think Sellar perhaps edged Pedersen as a player that ****ing stupid 3 year deal is really hurting us. I doubt we'll delist any more players until after trade week, but when we do I expect to see probably another 5-6 go.
You're kidding yourself if you think giving us one is questionable at best.
I mean of course I won't say no but if it wasn't my club I probably wouldn't want a pick to be given out either.
Who I'd like to get rid of - Gillies Sellar Tynan Taggert Macdonald Jetta Nicholson
Dunn and Pedo I'd also like to cut but they are contracted (Pedersen on a 3 year deal is almost as bad as Bailey forcing juniors retirement). Davey stays because our small forward options are terrible.
A little OT here but since Dawes has come into the side I think he has been great. Runs all day and keeps presenting, he isn't the most naturally gifted player (He's not a dud but he'll always be B tier rather than A) but he also seems to have a fair bit of leadership on the field, and most...
