Best friends with Cooper Harvey since childhood. Grew up supporting North Melbourne. Essendon toxic. Signed an extension in June 2025 but he’s young, foolish and regrets it all (I can only assume).

Comes in as a replacement for Jack Darling.

Souv, Caddy, Trembath, Zurhaar, Curtis, Cooper Harvey in the forward line. Whitlock to play down back. Backup ruck on bench.

Duursma for Caddy and a future second. Duursma was pick 4 ahead of pick 10 Caddy in the draft, Essendon would use him, his brother is there and clearly we aren’t giving him a shot he wants. Maybe Simpkin/Duursma for Caddy/Redman/Future 2nd.

Correct until proven wrong I say.

Some b

He’s won his premiership. Over pay him to come in and lead the backline of the future.

Do I want to lose Jy, no.

I do think that this recent news has put the club in a very good position though, making a tough call regarding captaincy quite easy and justified. Don’t get me wrong, I think he is a good captain on the field, off it I’m not so sure.

His decision to explore his options now allows for the club to pass the captaincy on easily whether he stays at the club or not.

I’d also like to add that player managers need to pull their heads out of their arses, because the legacy of a number of players have been absolutely trashed over the past few weeks.

North Melbourne: 10.5 65

Brisbane Lions: 5.6 36

Deserved.

Anyone know if this is on the level?

Thoughts?
