All said no, despite telephone number financial incentives. Just as big-name players like Dustin Martin, Josh Kelly, Jordan De Goey and others had done. Tom Lynch wouldn't even take a phone call.

Nothing to get excited about in the players coming in.

Can't wait to dance on that useless nuisance value of club's grave...and a very merry jig it will be indeed... #NeverforgetBobAnsett :dancing :shh


(In reality my reaction to their demise will probably just be "eh, whatever" as that'd be more in keeping with their level of relevance :shh :shh)

"Shambles" sums up Norf :yep.

AFL listed player doesn't even know how many wins his team has...yep you're getting delisted.

Hope they don't get it.

PP's are not linked to club success. Like throwing your savings at a mate with a gambling habit. Doesn't help!

No way do Norf deserve one. They mismanaged their list thinking they were contenders for 2019 when they were nowhere near it. Topped up with the likes of Polec & Pittard for a first round pick (Port must have thought it was Christmas). Norf are in their current mess via their own incompetence not bad luck.

The AFL have set a horrible precedent for rewarding incompetence in the past.

It’s farcical and there needs to be set criteria’s for what would result in a priority pick. Whether that is xx wins over a 2 year period etc. I’m not sure , but they can’t just make it up as they go along

The AFL is fearing an all-time low Marvel Stadium crowd will turn up for North Melbourne's clash against GWS on Sunday.

“There is a real fear, this home game against GWS on Sunday afternoon could be less than 10,000 (people),” Edmund said on SEN’s Dwayne’s World.

“That is a worry, Sunday, 3.20PM at Marvel Stadium against the Giants.

“They had 5,000 against Port in Hobart, 13,000 in that home game against Melbourne at Marvel, 14,000 for West Coast at Marvel as well and that was way back in round 2 before they really went down that slippery slope.”
