#lolNorf

I remember the influx of talent around the time of Charles, Merenda, Tape and Rogers. Those were exciting days but as we know, all suffered appalling luck with exception of Rogers. Charles was built for the modern game, mobile like Ryder, absolutely no doubts he had the talent to be an A grader.
Charles kicked 3 in the 1st qtr against Adelaide in Adelaide in 95

Chris Bond was part of that team. He went all right, Bondie.
So good he went for pick 2 (Brad Ottens), the subsequent trade of Ottens landed Meyer & Patto but the real kicker that year was a bloke called Corey Enright who was offered up as part of the deal. Moloney was also put on the table but we knocked that back too. If Wallace & Miller were reading the tea leaves correctly we could have walked away with Deledio, Franklin, Enright & Moloney.

Probably still in the frame for Riewoldt & Edwards, Buddy exploded in his 3rd year and we probably wouldn't have chased Polak. Cotch & Dusty probably out of reach so I think we eventually came out on top.

I still think we would have picked up Riewoldt. The story I heard was that Jackson wasn’t happy that pick 8 was part of the Polak deal, and he had that earmarked for Riewoldt. Fortunately the Pies went for Reid, and Jack was still there at 13.

He was furious, this was at a time when Miller was calling all the shots, the Doggies were also desperate for a tall forward but opted for Everitt instead. We were lucky that year, after Pavlich & Buddy it could have been a trifecta of draft butchery.

What happened to him would never happen now. He would been sent overseas to see specialists or they would've just given time to fully recover.
He had back issues?? I forget
He was convicted of boldenone use, Zips. A PED used in conjunction with say, Stanazolol to increase muscle mass. It's an anabolic streroid. Banned substance.

It enhances performance, hence a PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG. PED.

Convicted drug cheat Justin Charles used boldenone to enhance his performance. A lot of people have done that.

In the AFL they are called supplements.

“North Melbourne has been granted three draft selections as part of its assistance package from the League, which was approved by the AFL Commission on Monday.

The AFL has given the Kangaroos three first-round picks over two years to help build their draft hand.

This year's pick will come at the end of the first round, while next year's two picks will also be placed at the end of the first round. The 2024 picks are subject to review next year.

North Melbourne has also retained its two extra rookie list spots which came as part of last year's package.”

Yay! Go Roos……

The norfs think they should get #3 as compensation for McKay, and they even want something for the racism investigation stemming back to Clarkson’s time at Hawthorn, because it affected their season. FFS!
