North Melbourne
Sounds like change is brewing at North
From Sam Edmund:
North Melbourne have just been hit by a triple walkout in their recruiting department. I understand Mark Finnigan, Glenn Luff and Ben Birthisel all handed in their resignations today - frustrated at the club over its management.
Coach under pressure as well.
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

Absolute poisoned chalice.
They'll probably change coaches a few times, then after three more years of top ten draft picks, the AFL will parachute James Hird in who totally coincidentally will make them an ok team and James Hird a darling again.

Re: North Melbourne
They really made some huge mistakes with the mass delistings and the recruitment of Stevenson.

The thing is, they have to pay so much in salaries, I'm not sure how much they can bank year to year but it's not like they would have got near that, even with Polec's signature. Polec will be off the books and they will have cash to spend, lots of it, we'll see if they can land anyone of interest.
For Norf, I don't think it's as bad as it seems, they're certainly in a huge hole now but it's not like they can't pull themselves out either.

Re: North Melbourne
More issues:
Jason Horne-Francis missed the R9 game v Port with hammy tightness after traveling to Adelaide without the club’s knowledge. The No.1 draft pick flew to SA after returning from Perth with the team & was spoken to by management upon his return.

Re: North Melbourne
Watch this space I think Clarkson will end up there next year. Or are we about to see Tasmania get their long awaited AFL team.

I think Clarkson has said he wants to go to a club in the premiership window.

Kane Cornes has been calling this out and you have to wonder why it's a complete walk out by 3 leading figures of their team.?
I hope our guys are locked away.

Re: North Melbourne
It's not a walk out with 2 of the 3 receiving other job offers over the last few weeks.
Luff announced his decision to leave today. Persuing other opportunities.

They can afford to pay him ridiculous money.
