‘Anger’ at AFL over ‘deplorable’ North handout as Clarko called out for ‘short memory’ call
Asked if the Roos didn’t deserve any assistance from the AFL, Wilson said: “I think three was too much.
“I have enormous sympathy and I really admire what all the leaders at North Melbourne have been trying to do. But to do this without any consultation to the clubs and to just completely ride roughshod over the rest of them, I think it’s too much.Scott and Lyon’s criticism didn’t paint a full picture of the concessions and that North’s lengthy subpar period was the major reason behind the AFL’s decision.
But four-time Port Adelaide best and fairest winner Kane Cornes said he could understand why rival clubs would be angry. “I would be embarrassed if I was North asking for that … and if I was Chris Scott I’d be embarrassed as well because they refuse to rebuild,” Cornes told“Adelaide were in a similar position to North … and they’ve rebuilt on their own and Hawthorn are doing the same now without any assistance.The Roos now hold three first-round selections – Picks 2, 14 and 19 – and three 2024 first-round selections ahead of this year’s AFL exchange period.
And they could soon add Pick 3 to that draft hand, with McKay’s request to move to Essendon as a free agent a strong chance to trigger a compensation pick in the first round
