    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    As I said, our midfield depth is Jy, Colby, Powell and Parker. Just as Brisbane's midfield depth is Bailey, Rayner, Berry and Levi. If Lachie Neale is injured, they don't pull a kid out of the twos to play his role. As for your assessment of our running defenders, wtf? Colby is a mid and...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    When good players get injured, teams have to rearrange their players to cover for them, this is normal. Jy, Colby, Powell and Parker are better midfield depth than most teams have. FOS missed last week so Jy stepped in and did a good job. Basically, we have AFL standard back-up in the midfield...

    You only need 4 inside midfielders in your team; you also need 3 running defenders. In our best team we have eight inside mids and no running defenders or AFL standard tall defenders. Yet your 'Number 1 priority' is more midfielders? Are you Brady?

    Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty - re-signed until the end of 2028

    This is looking like a year where can bring in quite a few for minimal cost. We've already brought in Blamires, and will possibly bring in another rookie at the MSD, then we have 3 or 4 tied players we'll potentially bring in for stuff all, plus hopefully a decent FA or two. Seems like the...

    Player Watch #41: Jacob Konstanty - re-signed until the end of 2028

    Those numbers seem very low to me. The average player turnover across the AFL is 8-9 players per year. We had 8 last year - but this was low considering we lost two list spots. We are probably due for a slightly higher than average 9-11 this year, which would be timely for the last pre-Tassie...

    Player Watch #2: Finn 'The Finn-isher' O’Sullivan - broken jaw after GF game - 2-3 weeks out

    It is really only speculation that it was the Hayward bump that broke FOS's jaw. You can't suspend someone for a fair bump that may or may not have caused injury.

    He also looked ordinary before he got injured. Can't see him back in the seniors for at least a month.

    FOS and Wardlaw will be our two best mids and they have barely spent a full game together in there. I think they just need time and coaching.

    I find it bizarre that anyone could at our list and think that midfield depth is a big issue. And even if it was, it is a problem that can be fixed on the cheap. Why spend up on a gun mid to fix a depth issue, when we don't have any quality defenders?

    Obviously Butters would make us better. But it isn't a matter of that or whether or not our midfield is complete. It is whether or not another midfielder is the best place to invest. We currently have 7 or 8 capable or better mids (LDU, FOS, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Simpkin, Powell, Colby, Parker) and...

    Roast The AFL… incredibly irresponsible and selfish

    Considering the uncertainty of the situation, it would make sense for all the clubs to relocate to Melbourne and play the rest of the season here. It would be like a whole season of gather rounds.

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    Don't suppose you have a behind the goals vid of that goal? I reckon he was outside fifty when Curtis kicked that forward. He sprinted about 80m to get on the end of it.

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion II

    It's strange, but I get worried when Clarko is polite. The angrier Clarko is, the more comfortable I feel.

    Player Watch #26: Luke Parker

    He is already contracted for next season. We shouldn't even consider extending him until late next year. He is 33 now and can no longer keep up in the midfield. He has played two very good games in defense, but he could be completely cooked by the end of his current contract.
