I wish it was that simple but we all know Geelong will get it done if Bowes says he wants to go there.

IF we had a decent recruiting manager , Iād think Bowes would be every chance to be a bomber. Unfortunately we have Dodoro.

Yes, absolutely we need to convince Jack.
We should have some compelling immediate financial incentives, as well as selling on field opportunities.
I hope we are in contact with Graham considering Portās focus now on JHF.
Wonder if Port try and get pick 2 from
WC for Georgiades and pick 8, then trade 2 to North for JHF (plus some bits and pieces back and forth)
WC get Busslinger and Georgiades, Port might think itās too pricey, means North could get Wardlaw and Cadman maybe. Port would be the sticking point I reckon.

Now that Jack Graham has cooled on Port, we should be asking the question.
If we can somehow land a couple premiership players in James Harmes and Jack Graham, itāll help plenty, if it doesnāt break the draft pick bank.

Drew, perhaps ?
Bergman.
Duursma.
They had him pegged as part of their midfield brigade of the future with Rozee and Butters but havenāt really given him much airtime.
Mentioned on SEN Tarryn Thomas might be considering a move.

The North/Clarko dumpster fire continues.

The only thing Harmes really fits is the age/experience hole in the list. Whether that makes him worthwhile, Iām not sure.

The AFL should be trying to make sure that Geelong donāt get Bowes + 7 as what they are about to do this off-season makes a complete mockery of equalization and should be a complete embarrassment to the AFL. Instead, they are doing everything they can to facilitate it.
Sparkle Narkle is magic like stars
Talent hole as well?
I know nothing of him - if heās someone that can help lead the young guys and set good standards Iām all for it.
Yeah let the AFL mAke some changes that will affect us in 2-3 years. Be careful what you wish for.
I honestly donāt really have much sympathy, not because I like Northās situation, but more because Interstate teams have had top picks leave their clubs to VIC teams for a long time. Weāre now supposed to care because it happened to North when this has been happening for a long time? This āpoor Northā rhetoric is ridiculous considering no one of note left North prior to JHF. Henry requested a trade away from Collingwood after his second year. So did Bruhn. Pick 2 Taranto left GWS. Cerra, another top pick left Fremantle. Brisbane had a lot of players leave. Even Essendon had more noteworthy players willingly leave than North.
Besides, I think itās best for North if JHF leaves the club. He will ruin their rebuild with how entitled he is.
