the old boy goes alright, well done

Go get ‘em mate

Good post. Interesting to apply the 2015 timeline for Weitering-McKay-Curnow to our own draft of Will Dawson-Goad last year - took Cartlon 7 years to see that trio take them to a final in 2023. We've put more into mids, and last year presumably won't be the last of our KP drafting, but still...

I'd be interested to know whether Jaidyn's athletic testing recovered from the bicycle-induced hip injury

we can agree on that :thumbsu:

true; dunno about getting off the bench, but running onto the ground for the warm up according to the commentators

Hard not to think it's not headed that way

I don't think you'll find much in my posting history that indicates I'm a conspiracy theorist - couldn't agree more that our problems are indeed of our own making, beginning imo when the Board allowed Scott at the end of 2016 another attempt at 'renewing from the top' following the partly...

Yeah, not so sure. I think we need to separate a few things - first, it's true that North were always taking Edwards (and this was the largely unanimous view as to pick 1), and yes, that was a bust for the ages; but second, North taking Edwards doesn't rule out Newcombe and Hawthorn were in...

so he's not gone?

and again

me too

Finbar (again)

well said

Sellers looking likely every time it goes near him

Finbar will debut this year

Good list management; takes him beyond his free agency status next year, and avoids the 'will he sign, will he leave' saga despite the nay sayers here, if Xerri went to free agency, he would have suitors

he requested a trade prior to his existing contract

Put the crack pipe down bro, you’re embarrassing yourself

he's earnt his spot in the 2s, and the selection policy thus far has been to give debutants or marginal players a few games to settle (Pink, Nyuon, Drury etc) Make of that what you will

Drury has held up his end of the bargain, but yes, he'd make a good sub - energetic, good user

Can the statisticians among us - notably the immortal Marstermind - cast any light on when North Melbourne (or indeed any other AFL side, barring the expansion teams) last played 5 teenagers in the best 22? Might help to make expectations a bit more realistic

that's true, you do. Ad infinitum

cough up on Mrs Bertie's pasta recipe and I'll have a look at Dan Murphys for the Shiraz

Following the might Glenn Freeborn, Riley the second to bring premiership glory to #17

Greenwood the travelling emergency you would think Wynd an understandable omission with Sellers dropping back, but did plenty to have him back at the next opportunity

Wardlaw's missed a game, but otherwise 4 of the 23 this season have been teenagers, and with Hardeman on Saturday, it will be 5. Glad to hear the acid is being put on seniors behind closed doors, but there's no point in either yelling at the group like Noble in Brisbane, or bagging blokes at...

DeClase has attributes but is too slow for the modern game; Melbourne let him go for a reason

I guess a cynical interpretation is possible, but I thought the context was that Zurhaar's done his time "to get to free agency", and at that point he's got a decision to make, like everyone else who gets to that stage. I didn't hear it as any kind of escape clause, but maybe that's just me...

Like most of us, I appreciate your draft watching - in which regard, your thoughts on the depth of this draft relative to a weak VFL side (coburg) beating the academy?
