Veteran Roos culled

[Remi Moses]

Ok, I've gone with the obvious headline .
All things considered, is it odd timing just before finals to make this public ?
Not great for morale in the dressing room would of thought.
Besides Harvey, the other three are cooked

[bulldogtragic]

I find the timing really, really weird. North will be thanking the AFEL for free agency compo because if they had to pay anything to get NDS then it'd be too much. Surprising Waite survived too with the injuries he's had this year.

[Scraggers]

I thought Firrito would get one more year ???

Also surprised with the way they announce the player who has played more games than anyone else is getting cut ... velvet sledgehammer

[Jeanette54]

The timing of the announcement could have been brought about by the players, who may well have wanted to settle their future for next year. One thing that it has settled is that there is no way they will be retiring as 2016 premiership players for North.

Barry Hall's elbows wishes them a happy retirement.

I genuinely think they forgot about Waite and he kept his head down while they decided who should go. That's gotta be a more obvious decision than Waite should spend another year on the long term injury list at north.

One of the funniest things I've seen in a game. Barry Hall bopping opponents with the back of his elbow. It was like a bizarre ballet.

Roscoe is not impressed. He said it should have been done 12 months earlier...along with Brad Scott

With the results in the second half of the season he is correct.

Sarcasm with Ferrito?

[1eyedog]

They'll be stuffed without Harvey. He won at least three games for them this year.

[The Doctor]

So Norf have now gone from being easily the oldest team in the league to simply being the oldest team in the league?

[bulldogtragic]

If we treated Grant or Johno like Harvey has been treated I'd be pissed. Harvey earned the right to make an announcement be it retiring or if moving on, after the year. On top of Scott badly hosing down the excitement of his 400th last year, he's been treated like crap by Scott & North. As much as I love Picken smashing him, he deserves better and I reckon will get another season for sure. He could be the 2017 version of Stevie J playing out a good last season or two elsewhere.

It reminds me of when Terry Wallace told us in round 21 he would be leaving at seasons end, instead we bought forward his end.

Didn't we kind of treat West like this?
