Next year's draft is a midfield draft by all reports. If the right players were there at the right picks - club done the right thing.Question Kangaroos fans;
Do you think Kangaroos should of stuck with plan of recruiting outside pace and run instead of KPP. Feel North are ok with KPP but outside run considering Harvey & Wells might be retired soon was needed
Do you think maybe say Blaine Boekhorst, mature age player with pace and run could of been handy for 16? If Boekhorst taken think Blues def would of got Laverde
Something tells me Atley will have what the pundits say :- a breakout year in 2015, I just feel it in my my bones. He was (without being outstanding) very solid this year.There a lot of fallacies that opposition supporters continue to trot out about North, ie cash-strapped, no star players, rely to heavily on older players, but the bolded is perhaps the biggest and probably the one that annoys me the most. Sure, Atley is not a complete player yet, and IMO we need Atley to become elite if we're to turn into a truly great side, but the talk about him being a poor kick is categorically wrong and very frustrating.
We had half of the Lower twins from SA as well.Is his twin brother Mark any good? Twins from SA - could recapture a bit of the Wade and Kent Kingsley magic...
Go easy will ya, he's only been with us 5 daysThe kid reminds me of a young Paul Salmon.
he was ranked in the top 10 by north that is why we were so keen to shout his name on our first pick.
I just heard from my connection we ranked him sixth.
Spoke to my brother-in-law yesterday, who's a premiership coach in the Riverland where Durdin's from. He does sports presenting as well on ABC local radio down there, he said he declared 3 years ago on his radio show that Durdin would play in the AFL one day. Said even though he was skinny and gangly that he just knew where to run, clunked all his marks and hit packs with aggression (even though he looked like he might snap). Said he's one of those kids who just "knows football".
He was amazed that he went through to our pick and is completely certain we got a bargain. Here's hoping he's right!

We may need him up forward instead.With huge forwards like Patton, Boyd, Daniher, Cameron and Hogan looking set to become dominant players over the next decade, top quality, big key backs are going to be worth their weight in gold. Reckon Durdin could be one we look back on in a decade and say, 'Thank **** we picked him up'.
Solid debut.Was watching north train today and Gavin brown walked past and I started talking to him and I asked him what you think about Durdin he said we have a ripper
