Brady Rawlings

I, I reckon we've got a, a new winner.

If, uh, last year the most delusional list manager was Brady Rawlings, I reckon, uh, Jarrad Ruffhead's just...

Uh, sorry, Lenny Hayes, in fact, might have just taken that, uh-

[laughs]

It was the one need they had going into the trade period that all their supporters were screaming about.

Brady Rawlings had, you know, admitted that this was the thing that they were targeting and that Nick Murray was their man, and they couldn't get it done because all of a sudden the, the Nick Blakey sweepstakes became available and they dipped their toe into the water and then jumped into the deep end on that.

So, um, the Nick Blakey addition, the fascinating thing earlier in the period, but to not have addressed the one big need on your list, a fascinating spot for North Melbourne.

I can see both, both sides of this.

And I think, had it have got to the last half hour, the Swans would've accepted a lesser deal.

Now, I just wonder whether, again, hindsight is 2020, but whether North Melbourne had have kept maybe that future first or that future second, and thrown that to the Crows for Murray, could that have got Jarrod Roughhead picking up the phone a bit more than what he did to Brady Rawlings? But I think North overpaid for, for Blakey.

I think it's, uh, the right move for North in the time, because they needed the star in.

But Sydney did pretty well out of a player that I don't think was ever gonna return to the Swans as the same, um, sort of, uh, sort of person in those, in those four walls.

Mm-hmm.

Saw a little awkward moment between Roughhead and Brady Rawlings-

Yeah [laughs]

... which I will ask Adam Kelly about.

Much love within our footy club, and I know he loves the club as well.

And he'll come back and he'll be, um, he'll be a valuable asset for us.

I said it seemed like a win, uh, when I watched the silent movie of Brady Rawlings not shaking hands.

Um, what was the [chuckles] what was that like from that side of the wicket?

and he'll come back and he'll be a valuable asset for us.

I said it seemed like a win when I watched the silent movie of Brady Rawlings not shaking hands.

What was it like from that side of the wicket?

There was nothing in it.

We'll get into Port Adelaide next, and we'll hear also from Adam Kelly.

We'll hear from, uh, Brady Rawlings.

Nice text from, uh, Michelle or Renee as well.

I'll read them out very shortly.

Let's go to North Melbourne now.

So Brady Rawlings, he tried as hard as he could to get Nick Murray into the footy club from the Crows.

It felt like by the end of the trade period that Nick Murray was one of the greatest, uh, key position defenders in the history of the world.

But it didn't happen, and, uh, this is the frustration from Brady Rawlings last night.

I'm not really sure.

You know, we had a good crack at it.

We thought he could play for us for a long period of time.

And, but, um, when you get into these talks with contract players, it's, um, obviously can make it difficult and with the contract status, and yeah, Adelaide, uh, chose to hold onto him.

Yes.

And then North Melbourne ruler Brady Rawlings has come out on Twitter and apologized, said, "I tried my hardest.

I really did.

I'm sorry everyone if you're disappointed with me, but let's go Roos." He's come out on Twitter on his own account-
