I absolutely love that gif. Makes me smile every time.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Need the darling replacement next which should be ludowyke tonight if we are smart

I reckon Aidan McCartney will be penciled in as the Darling replacement next year.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Ever since I saw his name, I wondered if he's related someone from my mum's year whose paths probably never crossed.

Him playing for Blacky.
She, formerly of Donny and Healesville.

Anywho.

I reckon he’s going to the swans

And even still no harm having both so that we don’t rely on a msd pick in Trembath

Dovaston - Darling - Duursma
Trembath - Larkey - Curtis
I: Zurhaar
Let’s kick some winning scores in 2026.

Our no.2 goal scorer is on the bench and there is no spot for the recently acquired Spargo & Banch? Not to mention the other handful of ‘generally short in stature’ forwards (don’t want call them small forwards) we have on the list. Not knocking Dovaston, but the list management is a hot mess.

I’m pretty sure our recruiters just went best available talent.

What's Trembath being a msd have anything to do with it?

He's shown huge potential id say more then any other kpf in this draft.

Maybe but still raw and 3 games in

Point is we need more KPF

 

[Waynesworld]

Lachy Dovaston = The Velvet Dove?

There's no doubting you giantroo

 

[remfan101]

Thanks for that Dani..

She’s the last good coach we’ve had, club should give her a call

(1 call only )

 

[Ashley B]

Just left the Crown or slept in his North top. Go Lachy

Get the kpf at our third pick. Thredgold is what we need in defence.

 

[Chadwiko]

Just left the Crown or slept in his North top.

I really, really, really hope the Intrepid and Chiq logos are smaller on the real on-field guernseys because this is so ugly;

 

[speedy]

Brady will probably say “we had him ranked in the top 10 and couldn’t pass him up”.

 

[KillaKanga]

I'd give him the #1 or #29!

I'd auction off it off every single time it's ripped or torn off him. He get 50% of the auction. This'll spur him on to pick fights, be a pest, over celebrate in oppo faces.

Lean into it. Young boys unsure of what team to follow will be forces to see reels on insta/TikTok of him.

Oppo will be taking his head off every time he gets the ball = free shots at goal. Celly in their faces and hope for an immediate free in front = 2 quick goals. Roos are on a roll.

! He takes one on, he takes TWO on – he’s stepping, he’s weaving, he’s barging through bodies like a bowling ball with legs! And he sends it SKYWARD! A 60-metre HAIL MARY to the top of the square!


Zurhaar! ZURHAAR! UP HE GOES! CRASHES THE PACK LIKE A HUMAN WRECKING BALL! Ball spills! Who’s at the fall? The debutant… Dovaston! The kid! The first-gamer! He twinkles, he dances, he snaps… GOAL! THE ROO FANS ERUPT!


And hang on – he’s been DECAPITATED after the kick! Free kick paid! The crowd can’t believe it – the kid gets a second look! Comes in… and BANG! TWO IN A MINUTE FOR THE NEW KANGAROO! The Arden Street faithful are losing their collective minds!


If this is what North Melbourne are bringing in 2026 – LOOK OUT! The Roos are coming, they’re young, they’re hungry, and THEY. ARE. A TEAM TO WATCH!”

Comes across as a complete flog.

Thats fine, we have had nice people play for us for 25 years and its got us nowhere.

Other teams fans will hate him, fantastic. We need a player like that.

[DuckYeah]

To be fair most people under the age of 25 are complete twats

I don’t feel we’ve drafted many of this lately

FOS
