    Since Ben and Harry Mckay are actually the same person we should definitely pursue this trade.

    North Melbourne in turmoil, with Luff quitting . Can we start recruiting some of their decent players ?

    Ask Horne-Francis if he wants to be playing in finals in his second year ?

    Would take a Tom Boyd type deal, where are we finding that sort of salary cap room?

    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.

    Was it the year before last that we were wanting to grab him?

    Re: North Melbourne

    North are real weak links at the moment. I wonder what can and should be done about it? I can't see them being relocated and looking at the body language of Horne-Francis early picks might not be the answer. It might take a long time before they become relevant. Even Clarkson said he would only consider a contending team and that doesn't seem likely.
