🔮 The Kangaroos, when contacted by this masthead, declined to comment on how it would handle the trade in light of the police investigation.
🔮 North, where Nick’s father John won two premierships back in the 1990s, are better positioned than the Suns both in draft capital and salary cap space, but the Suns, should they continue their pursuit, will likely have pick seven from the compensation of losing star forward Ben King to Hawthorn, plus the money saved from King’s exit.

“He wouldn’t have grown up watching any of these people, or even knowing who they were,” Nolan said.
