Just wow when I heard this.
Bad advice or player or both.
2 mil plus over 3 years and knocks it back in a year that assistant coaches , players getting cut ( look at his own club ) and knocks it back.
I would have advised him take the offer and back yourself ( with maybe incentives ) but just wow.
Not wanted by the club.
Told to explore his options.
3 years running over 60 goals a year to out of a home.
Plenty rumours / talk about his work rate, one trick pony, second efforts and on the outer with concerns on his knee and club coach.
Should get rid of his manager first.
Popular team mate you hear and he has gone through his own personal issue this year and even that the club handled it and treated him poorly.
Which club will take him?
Which club would suit his style. ?
Which club could he thrive ?
Which club would be willing to pay anything close to what North were offering but now off the table?
Can he reinvent himself going forward. ?
Feel sad for him somewhat with what he has endured & his treatment by North.
A little empathy.
Just goes to show you how quickly things can turn against your favour. It's always easy to judge after the fact; but if I were him I would have taken a more sensible approach and taken the money that was on offer when it was there, and not tried to be too clever and wait for better offers down the track, or for more security.
Yes he has kicked some goals in the past few years, but he himself should have known that he's not exactly a power forward or a bonafide match winner.
He made a call based on the assumption that things weren't going to change, and that he was going to continue to have the whip hand. Covid happened, and now North perhaps are accepting the reality of where they are at so are rationalising their expenses.
Take the money when its there. Especially if it's a reasonable deal. (Which I think it was IMO)
Probably gets more free s than Cox does too.
Imagine how many frees he'd get playing for them.
He'd be the first to kick 100 since Buddy did at the Hawks playing for the Maggots no doubt.
Ron Barassi is probably available. Second Coming. (And that's what it might take!)
No one ...including the Kangas but he's probably still contracted.
Steak Knives Pittard is gone though......maybe Geesook or the Blues will be in for him too.
Exactly.
They've told the market that they want him gone, and they've also told the market what they were prepared to offer him.
Amateur hour from Norf. Will be lucky to get a first round pick.
Good grief ............................. thank f#%#&# I dont support Melbourne can you imagine seriously.
Even when we were at the very rock bottom depths of our shitness I was still grateful to be a Tiger fan and not a Melbourne fan.
