North into Billings
Heard that North are into JB with offer of $1 million plus per year for medium term length contract
Saints have offered around $800 - $850
Would have thought the roos are a few years off playing in Sept

Re: North into Billings
I’d imagine Essendon will have a dip too.
I like JB reckon he’s coming of age as a player
Would have to take a really enticing offer (early first rounder) for me to think a fair trade was struck

He's not worth a mil
Not even 800k

2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Re: North into Billings
Using the Dan Hannerbry baseline, he’s probably worth about $1.2M!

Re: North into Billings
He's a restricted FA. No trade involved. Either he stays with us or we get a compo pick (which will be decided by the length and $ of his contract).
Go you red, black & white warriors

Re: North into Billings
1st round pick sold!
Good as a HFF who can’t play mid can kick a goal can also get 30 and not be noticed
Point is : he’s not marquee, he’s not one you build a side around
IF we get a decent pick offer I’m in

Only Gary Ablett would be greedy enough to take such an offer.

Re: North into Billings
I’m with you. Possibly our most consistent this season and kicked a couple of crucial goals to get us going on Saturday. I’d be surprised if he wants to go to Norf. He’s well paid where he is ... and valued.

Re: North into Billings
Yes, No1 draft pick, but our recruiters would waste it on another DAFT pick.
Better not to trust them with another No1.
Instead split it into pick Nos 8 and 9.
The trade in 2 quality players.

Re: North into Billings
Hate the idea of losing him for an FA pick
Reckon he’s quality and a player that’s capable of elite level performances even if he’s inconsistent.
Ultimately you need players like him in the best 22 and he looks to me like he’s steadily improving and turning it on more

Re: North into Billings
There is a history of players playing well in contract year then not so well the year after, let's hope Billings, if we keep him, bucks this trend.skeptic wrote: ↑Tue 11 May 2021 10:08am Hate the idea of losing him for an FA pick

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: North into Billings
I think he's just starting to come into his own. He's probably in the top 3 of our B&F this season so far so a $1m+/5y deal combined with a solid best and fairest means we'd get a really, really solid pick in return you'd imagine. With both North and Essendon looking like bottom 4 teams compo could quite easily be a Top 10 pick.

Anyone with a pulse it seems.

Who is interested in going to them?

I think he’s tracking for a top 3 B&F finish
