North Melbourne is considering West Coast goalkicker Ben McKinley in return for a a low draft pick. McKinley played 10 games (16 goals) for the Eagles this year.
**** no, his game is more limited than Aaron Edwards'.
Does low pick mean a low number? Is draft pick 12 "lower" than pick 86?

I don't think we need him but he's probably more likely to turn into a gun than 40+ draft pick. Certainly has talent. The fact that we're interested is not a good sign for Edwards.
Why? He's been pretty much stinking it up for a few years. Why would he suddenly bloom like a flower in spring?
Give me a shot at a late pick anyday and take an untried player. That's if you want to fluke a really good player and not a battler.
Bit harsh calling him a battler. He's the type of player who could flourish in a new structure. Getting him for our 3rd rounder is a bargain. Whether we need him or not is another matter.
Hes certainly a good goalkicker when he plays but the criticism i have of him is his forward line pressure. Barely tried a second effort and yeh if he can sort out this part of the game he will be a good player - Will do well in a side that offers good deliveries to their forwards.
How many games has he played in the last 2 seasons, playing for a crap team?
Well you're not going to get many 1st team regulars in exchange for peanuts.
Calling him a battler would suggest he doesn't have the potential. By the sound of things he needs to work on forward pressure/second efforts. If he can work these things into his game then he has the tools to be a very good player. Worth a punt I reckon.
It's really quite simple. With some people high means low and low means high.
With other people high means late and low means early.
Hope this helps.
