Hugh Greenwood to North Melbourne

The Gold Coast Suns delisted Hugh Greenwood despite having 2 years to go on his contract with the promise they would re-draft him and sign him to their rookie list. But North Melbourne swooped in and picked Greenwood up lol

Good to see a team get screwed over with this moving vets on to the rookie list shenanigans, Eddie Betts was on the rookie list at Carlton this year FFS.

Who cares, by the way Weeks is a point guard, not greenwood's position, never been that great, gets good headlines though.

North Melbourne Giants, or the North Melbourne Vicky Kicky team?

If the latter, why is it here?

Because there is an AFL tag on here for a reason just like there is an off-topic tag too and Greenwood was a highly touted college basketball player who signed with an NBL team and then quit during training camp to switch to footy so I thought some would be interested.

Unlikely an nbl team with a spot left thought of doing the same thing.

Even he admitted recently with JJ coming in he would need a hardcore retraining to even get close to NBL standard.

It's an interesting study...

I know people like to bleat about this, but in hindsight, you could well think that he would have been better off forgoing his basketweaving degree from bumfuck college, and simply opting for AFL

People love to complain about BBall players being "lost to AFL" but with somebody who was clearly multi-skilled, and not that great at BBall, is that really the case?

Not sure I would be referring to the New Mexico Lobos as a 'bumfuck college' who's home court The Pit is considered one of the loudest and most intimidating in the NCAA. A venue where the Lobos attendances have averaged over 15,000 per game every year since 1966.

Greenwood was considered good enough that the Perth Wildcats gave him a 3 year contract but what do they know.
