The nomads are at it again.

North Melbourne is reportedly finalising a lucrative agreement with the AFL and Western Australian state government to play home games in Perth over the next three seasons.

In the mooted deal, the Kangaroos will play two ‘home games’ in Perth for each of the next three seasons, helping alleviate financial pressure on the struggling Victorian club and allaying the Eagles and Dockers’ fixture stresses.

According to Seven reporter Ryan Daniels, the Roos will ‘host’ the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle next season as part of a two-week venture, with one game to come at Optus Stadium and the other to be played in the state’s south-west — Daniels floated Bunbury’s Hands Oval as the ‘likely destination’.

It is understood that the deal is set to pocket North Melbourne in excess of $2 million per year — with the Optus Stadium fixture alone set to rake in approximately $1.2 million for the Roos — bringing the total to over $6 million across the arrangement’s three-year period.

Daniels added that North is expected to still play games in Hobart next season, though not as many as the four it hosted at Bellerive Oval this year.

The deal gifts West Coast and Fremantle an extra game in their home state

The AFL has asked clubs for feedback on a list of potential rule changes, including the eradication of the 6-6-6 warning and a reduced set shot clock.

According to Jon Ralph, the league is continuing to push for a more free-flowing game, which could include reducing the maximum time to play on from a free kick or mark from the usual six or seven seconds.

The league was also keen to canvas thoughts on whether umpires should call play on more quickly after a behind and whether the set shot clock should be reduced from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.

These changes would see players rushed into quick decisions, potentially creating more turnovers and more of an end-to-end game style.

Also on the agenda was whether the AFL should scrap the 6-6-6 warning, which was initially introduced to stop teams from flooding the defence at centre bounce.

The league is also interested in views on whether all free kicks after a goal should be taken in the middle of the ground regardless of which team gives away the free kick.

This would see the reduction of the ‘double-goal’ which is sometimes seen when a defender gives away a free kick close to goal after a goal is scored.

Last one yeah the duffell coat shot was aimed at all those on here who just derail any objective debate with nothing but praise.

Any way i think it pee poor that a mod would join sides and neglect to take a proper look at what is going on.

I have offered this before. If you don't want me here just say it here. I will leave you and your little narrow minded group of cronies to yourselves.I at least am honest when i make it clear i have little time for some around here.

I’ll have a crack as for a reason they might have kept him.

And I might add I was on the fence regarding whether to do so and didn’t care whichever way they went.

My thoughts.

He plays a position requiring gut running and he covers a lot of territory. Something that often takes the kids aerobically a couple of pre-seasons to be able to do at his levels.

We lost Graham (another who covers territory and Pickett, the other winger)

Maybe they see a role that K-Mac and his ability to gut run both ways on a wing will be able to do that the kids won’t.

I was not having a go at him in this post initially it was a go at those who just ignore what has been said unlike them he at least had a go. Talk about precious. and selective after all the narcissistic posts he has thrown my way.

Lol so now the cut off point to be called experienced is 200 games.
We have plenty of experienced players. How many times does it need to be done.How many times do people need to ignore it.

Nankervis, Lynch, Prestia who we also kept for experience, Short who they keep playing, Broad, Vlastuin, Balta has over 100 games Ross, Hopper, Taranto, Kossie, Mansell, Lefau, Young, Miller. Are all mature players aged 24 or more. 9 of em have at least 100 games and the majority of the rest have been on the list for 3 or more years.

Experienced is an excuse. Richo is entitled to his opinion but boy i rarely ever listen to what he has to say because he is always wrong.

Simply put the argument is not about experience. its about 1/ how well he plays 2/ what he actually brings on game day and 3/ the biggie to be asked is he taking the spot away from a kid simply because of sentiment?

On All three he gets a fail.
Why would it have been so hard to keep him around the club in some sort of capacity without putting him on the list. Anyone want to answer that one?

He would have made a good leader for all the kids that are coming playing VFL.

Think you're wrong on this one

Mate i get plenty wrong but on this i think im right.

I have already shot the we need him for experience call down. Something his defenders just plain ignore.
We are not bereft of mature and experienced players. Anyone want to actually put up an opposing argument here?

There is no call for us to keep him solely for that reason. In fact it is wrong. imo we are not short of experienced players or more to the point that devoid of them that we have to desperately hang onto underperformers like McIntosh. I have given a pretty decent list to suggest im right.


There is nothing but he is good around the club and he has high training standards. That is the pro's for giving him another year on the list. Thanks but no thanks for me.

Another question apart from the shot down experience crap. given the other  two things they think we need to keep him for, why would we not get him off the list as we are wasting a spot and denying someone a go on the list.  What is so hard about  finding  a role for him  within the club either coaching or even playing VFL. Anyone want to answer.

Iv'e been  happy to go into his form, his stats his foibles on field and the players who need to be tried in his role. All just ignored so why bother again.
Are we having a debate ?  well only  one side is making any relevant points here..Seems  it does not suit the pro crowd to enter into a factual debate nope lets just be ignorant and ignore it again. 
At least i list good reasons why we should not keep him, all i get back is the spurious oh he is good around the club and he trains hard.

Mate given that you went salty and MIA when we got the 2017 flag after all the nonsense you said beforehand I think we can agree you get plenty wrong from time to time and maybe aren't the best judge of where the club is at culturally etc.

I think the club is better positioned now than it has been most of the last 40 years.

If they see benefit and value in keeping KMac I agree and support their decision.

So im not allowed to have a go back after that one bringing up something from 8 years ago. If thats not a personal shot what is.

Oh well done to the moderator. Instead of moderating abusive posts you encourage it.

"Abusive posts"? You got called out for yet again for claiming someone is wrong because they don't agree with you. You do it all the time and when you get called out for it you say your being abused. Based on the meaning of narcissism you were not abused.

Quote
Fine lets go down that path shall we.

Id like to know where i have said anyone is wrong in this apart from the Richo line and lets be honest here, it  is a rare commodity around here for anyone to be honest. 
Richo does gets an awful lot wrong and on this one he is wrong if he is useing a lack of Experience as an excuse to hang onto old fumbles. But hey you dont have the guts to address what has been said because you may have to admit your wrong.

Anyone want to make a case in Richo's favour when he says we need to keep Fumbles because of a lack of experience. Anyone ?.

Seems there is more than one Narcissist around here.

Still no one wants to address the points being made but  boy the personal stuff is a good way to deflect.

Im still asking all the duffell coat wearers out there to make a case for why we would keep him with something more than a spurious argument.

I actually feel sorry for some of you. you are so caught up in all things Richmond that you cannot be objective when people criticise.

Here's the thing.

What you put forward is your opinion (s);which you are entitled to. But in your world your opinions are always right.

But without fail as you have proven time and time again is that when anyone writes anything that is the opposite of your opinion they are wrong. Case in point in this thread you say the only person you've said is wrong is Richo. But if you actually read what you have written your posts are full of digs, snide remarks and belittling

You say you were abused but you don't think anything you've posted in your replies is abusive or belittling posters right?

You seem very selective in what you deem to be abuse and what you think is acceptable.

You said in a reply "So you  admit your nothing more than a yes man and don't have an opinion" . Is this not a cheapshot,  sarcastic belittling comment to people who disagree with you?

Then there's "Okay at least you had a go" again a snide comment when someone has given opinion, a view that differs from yours

And finally you make a sweeping insult with this "Im still asking all the duffell coat wearers out there" again clearly a put down of posters who don't agree with you or who have presented an opinion that you dot like and refuse to acknowledge

As I said you seem to be very selective in what you deem abuse... and please don't use your usual comeback of "I didn't start it, I'm doing what others do to me" ...

Good lord man, it’s like you just pick a day each week where you come through and just post negative comments on 5-10 threads.

It’s the off-season, we’ve got a draft coming up with our best hand in many years. can you not let the rest of us be optimistic without calling us idiots or yes men or blinded by our Richmond coloured goggles.
