    I thought it meant Noble's wife was the one who told him of Greenwood's availability, from her seeing it on afl.com.au

    Ah, ok. Just as odd, either way.

    Let's not forget Gold Coast lost Jarrad Lyons for nothing, and Martin walked to the PSD. This just a couple of weeks after shopping around Darcy McPherson to no takers. Rabble.

    Weird comment by Wayne Campbell that North found a loophole. You delisted the guy, strange attempt at deflection and coverup

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    They found the stunning loophole of signing the no 1 tackling player in the competition last year for nothing after Gold Coast stupidly delisted him?

    Next up: my loophole of having a shower to smell better.

    To be fair, EVERY club uses this tactic to get around draft rules. We certainly have. The mistake they made was that they didn't do it with a player that is playing seconds and a fair way off, they did it with an established player that would be a valuable 'now' asset to a number of teams.

    The second mistake they made was that they obviously trusted him. He was across the details of the delist/redraft and had ticked it off, but then burned them when another offer came in. Money, length of deal, yada, yada- I understand all of that. He burnt them badly. He supposedly didn't give GC a right of reply to match it or whatever, just took the deal and ran.

    Remember the furore here when Ryan Griffin (transparently and openly) asked to be traded? This, IMO, is much worse.

    I can't wait till GC play NM- I don't think Stuart Dew would take this kind of backstabbing lightly, nor should the GC players. I think Dew will just write "Kill Hugh" on his whiteboard.

    For me this is the point though. It's not just a mistake, it's an idiotic decision that emphasizes how much of a rabble this 'club' is.

    I put no blame at Greenwood's feet whatsoever. Just because he said he was OK with it (which he was - at the time), it doesn't mean things don't change and they did. North capitalised and came with a better offer, who at their current workplace wouldn't do the same thing?

    This is all on GC. They're genuinely useless.

    That's kind of the point though, they chose one of the worst players on their list they could have chosen.
    Let's not forget they lost Jarrad Lyons and Jack Martin for nothing as well. Losing one player is bad luck, losing 3 is gross incompetence. I mean, Martin's pick off by Carlton was unders so you can argue they had to make a stand but Lyons can really play.
