[shinboner magic]

I think despite hawks leaking to the media, Merrett will stupidly want to still go to them to chase a flag

But bring caddy home

Pies might get on the Merrett chase as well

 

[The Nostradamus]

What bombers should do is just trade Merrett to whoever offers the best capital

Otherwise hold him to contract

Merrett shouldn’t be able to dictate where he goes if he’s contracted

 

[Flawed Genius]

People are seriously convincing themselves that we don't need Merrett?

 

[DuckYeah]

No. More defensive liabilities? He’s exactly what we need. Sheezel, Kerch and Wardlaw are and should be the starting midfield. Dont need that squib at all

Oh for sure man

 

[The Nostradamus]

at the very least I appreciate Merrett for embarrassing brad Scott and that joke of a football club

but he can

 

[Mr north man]

Harry Lemmey from Carlton delisted, A key forward who played some nice games in the second half of the year, West Adelaide boy who to me was a strange delisting, thought he was taking over from Charlie Curnow, still don't think he's developed fully as tall players do take time, quite interesting that the Blues pulled the plug, list spots becoming very valuable at the moment.

So his coming next week to the club on a 5 year X 800k

 

[chubbspeterson]

Jeez if only we were smart enough to draft watson and newcombe...

I never thought Watson was a North player. Fits in right where he is with the arrogant Hawks.
And I ain't about those witches/wizards hats. I think I'd be physically ill seeing North fans wearing Wizard hats.

I’d like to see us select more arrogant players and less nice introverted guys

 

[chubbspeterson]

Clearly it's nothing about winning, he just wants out of the club.

We should be all in.

Nah. I'm not going all in for a 30 year old. We aren't good enough to make this kind of move yet imo.

 

[roopdog]

Pies might get on the Merrett chase as well

Every club would be in contact with his manager

 

[chubbspeterson]

Yeah, it's not a secret:

AFL Draft Pick Value Comparison - All Time - Draftguru

www.draftguru.com.au

Yep well aware. Just haven't really seen it mapped out with percentages.
I wonder what qualifies as somebody becoming a "star" as well.

They also kinda mentioned in that article about getting as many top 25 picks on the dartboard because recruiters aren't going to nail every pick. So interesting decision this year in that regard in terms of either trading up for a potential star player or taking two shots on the dartboard in the top 25 (non club-tied). I'm happy either way.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Agree. But they also have to fit the North culture. Like a Darcy Wilmot Vic Country kid would've suited us imo.

 

[Makeshift Park]

The problem would be the cost of two first rounders for a player you could probably only be confident of three good years from. Doesn’t exactly fit out timeline.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I just wouldn't go all in on someone who is 30 years old and will cost lots of draft capital to get them.
I don't think we've build the team yet to contend. Still a lot of work to do down back and with the depth.
He's going to leave for a Cats or Hawks anyway if he's after success, so it's pure hypothetical.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Spending two first rounders, when you could probably only be confident of three good years from him, doesn’t exactly fit out timeline.

Exactly. Zac Butters would be the type you'd go all out for given he's 25 and will give you 5-8 years imo.
But highly unlikely any of those types of players choose us.

 

[Makeshift Park]

List of midfielders I'd be prepared to spend two first rounders on, given where we're at:

Matt Rowell (24)
Nick Daicos (22)
Zak Butters (25)
Finn Callaghan (22)
Harley Reid (20)
Tom Green (24)
Max Holmes (23)
Noah Anderson (24)

The list of KPFs would be longer.

Absolutely, Butters is someone we could use. Merrit is not

Given we don't have a first rounder this year, that would require us future trading our 1st of 26 and 27, meaning we wouldn't have taken a 1st rounder in 3 years. Is that even possible??

Otherwise we would have to give up a LDU type to get back into the 1st round.

It was intended as a position of valuation rather than a serious trading strategy mate.

 

[Johnny99]

Amazingly they didn't overpay for any of them. Convincing someone to join is only the first step

Potential recruits are happy to accept a pay cut if it means being able to live in the city of your choice. Another advantage they have.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Again, I don’t think nice/not nice - introverted/extroverted are mutually exclusive.

The greatest player of the last decade - Martin was a complete introvert. Didn’t stop him being a stone-cold killer on field.

Just bring in players who can win and lead.

Dusty was introverted

But he’s got mongrel and that quiet arrogance

That’s the type of player I want
Players who are confident and want to take the game on

 

[40porpoise]

Lol what? We would be fleecing Adelaide with a straight swap

Just jumping in.

Could be a win win. Powell is obviously very talented but I'm not 100% sure he would help fix our midfield, and I havent watched him as close as North fans would have, but I can confirm Butts is a fantastic player.

A Daniel Talia replica. Has struggled with his body a bit but as a pure lockdown tall defender he is brilliant, and as a crows fan I would actually prefer we keep him and play him ahead of Murray.
