You don't get 'father/sons' for virtually nothing any more. Still have to pay "market rate" rate for them...

You can still pick them up for one round lower than they are worth with the 20% discount if you have the pick available. We screwed the LMAC one up by letting the whole world know we were going to draft him seeing he was over in IDAHO training with the team. So unprofessional.
Collingwood on the other hand is playing down there desperation for Brown and Daicos saying they will not pay overs for them.

We sure know that paying pick 8 for LMac but the point is you still get them if they're any good.

LMac is due for a big 2017
Technically his 5th year at North

I'd like to know who we would of taken if we hadn't used that first pick on Lmac. Would we of picked up Patrick Cripps.

Still think it will prove a good draft year for us with Lmac, Dumont and BBB.

JS - knowing North were getting Justin Sherman in the PSD.

JS = Jake Stringer

 

[GS WARRIORS]

He's still a bottom ager.

So you're saying we still have time.

Draft Paul and play him more 10 games next year. Problem solved.

Zero hanger saying we are touted as a possible landing spot for steven motlop

But you get the opportunity to get in before teams with better picks

To borrow one of Dermies terms, i hope we go with a No Jobber policy re trading this year.

 

[ViperR1]

Lots of million going out, with no million going in, off what I've read.

So I hope far more happening behind the scenes, let alone if we "might" get Wells compo, and use draft picks, and apparently it makes it all better.

We need to be ultra aggressive - i'm confident there's no "cliff" etc, that's bullshit, but we can't be conservative just knowing that if we want to win a flag (i'm not interested in just "making finals"). We need to bring in gun players, and we have the $$ to do it.

Outside Tarrant, Brown and Wood i'd put them all on the table - trade hard, can't rely on just young picks and cross our fingers

It's the same logic as linking us with Hartlett. We were interested last year + player potentially available = North strong chance.

I still have high hopes for this kid. Was showing heaps this year before the hammy. Will captain the club at some stage.

His performances for werribee as a 17 year old as a midfielder were pretty impressive. Surely needs to be moved into midfield next year.

Exactly I've said it before besides a handful of players I would put them all on the trade table the list is very very very ordinary

Don't want Motlop. Reminds me of Daniel, super talented but lazy and selfish and doesn't go when its his turn.

He is the LAST thing we need.

I'd back in our 'elite standards' to turn him around.

I almost typed that with a straight face.

Would go bootsma for a low pick/rookie...surprisingly good kick

I read the last word as starting with a d.

Still made sense.

Guys i'm new to footy. Who is better Fyfe or Danger? Bont or Cripps or Mills or Heeney?

Martin is not better than Danger.

Goldy had not structral damage hence no surgery. He just needs a least 3 weeks rest of which Bard refused to give to him. Cunners idk

You're a quick learner.....

 

[FastLife]

I don't mind Motlop. Has talent. However not worth anything more then a 3rd rounder.

 

[Donkey Chop]

So whatever we offer is irrelevant if we front load it over the next 2 years.

If it fails who cares? Weweren't winning the flag in 17 or 18 anyway. By the time our kids are ready we have a star on year 3 money which will be 50% of year 1 and 2.

I'd care. No one really knows wtf is going to happen with the players union & the AFL at odds with each other over the percentage the players will receive on future revenue. There's talk some clubs will have to offload players, while others believe clubs will be forced to overpay list cloggers.

Dont get me wrong, if North can pinch a star like Shiel or Heeney for a mill a year I'd be stoked. Not sure I'd want us throwing massive money (let alone years) at unproved talent.

 

[Dig Out Ya Soul]

It is a shame Ed Langdon resigned for Freo, he killed it on the wing for Peel Thunder in the WAFL grand final today. His run & speed is what we need.

 

[Rooboy 96]

All I have been hearing for the past month is how dare Scott not renew Boomers contract, yet apparently he is incapable of change and needs to grow some balls.

That group is a large part of the reason why we aren't a top quality team - slow and average/poor skills (Cunners handball excluded)

We can certainly improve inside. Whilst granted Scott appears incapable of change, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen.

If Scott doesn't grow some balls and change the setup in the middle - we are in a world of pain.

Spitta should be traded or playing reserves.
Jack should play forward.

Build the onball division around Cunners and froggy
