Traded North Melbourne trade #8 to Melbourne for #26, #50 & 2020 1st Round Pick

[old55]

Melbourne paid overs for pick 8 in isolation

Then freo helped them out and payed overs for it also so that in the end the net result was a fair trade for melbourne. They gained a first and lost a first

However we won big and got 3 picks for 1

Looking at trades in isolation is pointless. Our overall trade and draft period is basically this:
Langdon for Frost
Tomlinson for free
Jackson for 3
Pickett for 2020 1st
Rivers for 22

I'm fine with this overall. Only fools judge the draft straight away. Give it 3 years.

Your overall period is meh

Like I said you broke even overall after freo came in to pay overs

North got on top from this trade and maintained position
To the point where we have 2 first rounders and a second rounder next year

Coupled with our 3 second rounders this year

6 picks inside first 2 rounds and lost no players gained Bonar and Josh Walker

2 extra 2nd rounders! Wowee, be still my racing heart!

Bonar and Walker? I'd rather have Brown and Bennell and I didn't bother to mention them.

Yep overall we got 2 extra second rounders

Win for us

Nil result for you

The Dees couldn't move back because there were no takers.

Port wanted to keep 12 and 18 to keep their selections ahead a Mead bid.

Melbourne were into Weightman until Taylor got sucked into burning a 1st rounder on Pickett.

So you bought in a couple of blokes not in there sides best 22 and you have effectively a slew of mid to late second round picks?

Wow. Got to love mediocrity

Tomlinson for free. Jackson and Pickett already in MFC jumpers.

 

[Andy_Mac]

the Ziebull given all of the positivity that surrounds north, what do you think will make the difference between being ordinary once again and a version of relevances (in North Melbourne terms of course).

 

[Heaps of fun]

A side that has improved year on year every year for 5 of the last 6 years.

This time last year we were equal second favourites to win the flag. We had a terrible year, but there were some pretty good reasons why. I wish your death riding well, but you’re in for a nasty surprise if you expect a pick better than 15 odd after bids etc.

Here’s a fun fact. I was trying to find a way to articulate the hight of Norths irrelevance, and I found this little gem. This century North have only played in front of a crowed greater than 55k 10 times, that’s like 2% of games. No wonder you can’t attract anyone from the expansion clubs, it’s just another version of the same.

I'm sure weel get croweds of that hight in time.

The fear in Melbourne fans and admin is strong

The desperation to get Brown and Bennell after paying overs for this draft to get Pickett

You guys would know about desperation, you will land your big fish one day.

 

[TheBoss]

The big fish might be Petracca!

Could be! And what a whooper!

Ollie wines would also be massive for North too.

I thought the idea of the comp was to win flags not to see who has the biggest crowds ?
But as you haven't seen a flag in your lifetime I can see how meaningless fun facts become meaningful for you

Scotty Clayton North's new head of list management. There goes your 2 1st rounders next year on 187cm 59kg half-back Bob Murphy wannabees.

Cool story bro!
Do you realise you just likened Melbourne to a Shetland pony?

Yes Charlie Spargo's trusty steed.

This sums up your club perfectly!!!!

17th, 17th, 13th, 11th and 9th in 5 of the last 6 years and this is a good thing???

Happy to be irrelevant than being relevant for being pathetic.

Am the only neutral fan here who would take North's list over the Dees going forwards.
Melbourne just don't seem to have a potential game breaking future star who can win games off his own boot like Tarryn Thomas or one of my non Blues favourites, Cam Zuhaar ?

The Dees seem to have a hard working, very honest team of goers, don't seem to have a type of player who can take a game by the scruff of the neck and become a decisive figure (Petracca could be that guy one day, potentially)

They seem like a refreshed and happy lot there after Brad Scott left.

If footy clubs were stock, I would be buying into the Kangas, they have more talent and youth on their list than many assume (the fact the muppets in the media never talk about them is a factor i suppose)

The tears of the baby Jesus at Christmas time! I wouldn't swap Oliver for both Thomas and Zurhaar.

 

[billnats]

I wouldn't swap Oliver for both Thomas and Zurhaar.

All banter aside, Thomas will be an absolute star. Top 10 player in the league kind of talents in 4-5 years.

 

[The Warlord]

I'm tipping you'll get bucked off your Shetland pony in R1, get your foot caught in the stirrup and spend the rest of the season eating dust.

I'm tipping we belt the Saints Round 1. Physically and on the scoreboard.

Neither would we.

That's going to be a really interesting game.

We have WCE in Perth. An acid test to get things underway. R2 is GWS at MCG.

The problem is that we have played the Demons to many times in this period to attract crowds.

Yeah nah. We help your numbers...
