Re: List Management for 2020/21
According to a few posts earlier they've said he's not for sale, which says to me, he's for sale.
I mean why would you come out and say that when nobody is publicly asking?
In fact if he's not on the market then they have Dodoro like list management at that shit hole.

To be fair, they also grouped a bunch of players in that category, including Goldy, Higgins and Cunnington and a couple others that i can't immediately recall.
My guess is North don't want to go down Melbourne's hell hole, of clearing out all their experienced players that have some positive culture-fabric traits.
I'm more shocked that Higgins is held in that light? He's a finger waver for mine, and someone whom isn't essential to a club rebuilding.

Higgins would get a game in any side ever, he's a gun.

He'd be amazing in strong side that doesn't need all it's players to work back the other way.

This.
I know as Bulldogs faithful we like to harp on about Higgins' end with us but Macca didn't help him, playing him as a half back and he obviously had a lot of injuries.
He's been brilliant for Norf, we lost badly on his departure in the end.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Right now we need players willing to defend without the ball. He wouldn’t be the greatest example setter in this regard. Great skills but at the end of the day we won a flag without him and perhaps with him we don’t win it. We’ll never know but I’m one who believes the side that won us the flag is the one that won us the flag and any other changes could affect that. So I don’t think we lost out badly.

McCartney’s contempt for skilled players hurt Higgins more than just about anyone.
He still never should’ve let Craig Bird kick four goals though.

When you say too many off field issues, have there been more than one? I don't believe so.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
AFL clubs are big on background checks of prospective draftees speaking to pathway coaches, pathway club officials, employers, school teachers and other people with knowledge from club networks. These discussions play a massive role in determining character and whether the target player passes the dickhead test. As I said too many red flags.

Interesting that the team mate he was out with was a Scotch College boy, and drafted at number 20.

Yeah I can’t believe he had to face any repercussions either.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
On-field, Stack is exactly the style of player we need. Explosive, strong defensive pressure, fleet of foot. It just highlights the balance of football needs versus human needs. We seem to have got the human side right since 2016.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Didn't our vice captain get wankered and drive, wreck about six cars, flee the scene and involve two team mates in the process?
How does that rate in the scheme of things?
