Was always a quiet fan if Brodie. Underdeveloped and underexposed and the suns. Freo have done well with him.
How *smile* are Norf? I've always thought teams kicking scores in the 20s are at the extreme end of useless.

Look unfortunately or otherwise, they're Fitzroy. They just are not big enough to compete, even with AFL assistance. They really would be better making a conscious move down to the VFL, before they're extinguished forever. They're debt free and could probably make a successful change to their business model from here with AFL help, and let Tassie come in their place.
Saw him play a couple of weeks back, and thought it looked like he was going throught he motions and already checked out.
Where are Phillips and Powell for Norf? Both 2020 first round picks, how can they not get a game?
Stephenson, whatever they paid for him was too much.
Pays not to put an author and Champion Data 'guru' in charge of your list.

Sort of. He always wanted to go to the Pies, and did everything he could to wind up there, but because the Bears had the no 1 pick, and wouldn’t part with it, he had to go there. There was apparently a deal between he and the Bears that if he wanted to go elsewhere after his first year then they would facilitate it. In a surprise to no one, once he competed his first year (I think he won the Rising Star), he walked to Collingwood.
Almost. He initially wanted to go to North and Greg Miller signed him to North before the 1992 season but had to post date the contract to AFTER the 93 season. Of course Buckley blitzed the 92 season and became hot property and as he was tied to Brisbane (as he was considered a Northern Territory player) he had to go to Brisbane. Then of course he wins the rising star in 93 then Collingwood come knocking. As has often been highlighted if Fig stayed with North or Brisbane he’d be a premiership player.
I thought he’d bought into the whole Magpies mythology during his time at Port in the SANFL. I used to work with Stephen Williams’ (brother of Mark) wife, and she gave us bits of info about the Port players looking to move into the AFL. She didn’t like Buckley. Thought he was up himself, understood that self confidence is something players needed, but in her opinion it could be taken too far and Buckley did that. He really earned the Figgy nickname.
Powell is, according to North "earning his sripes in the VFL"... Phillips listed as ill.
