    Recommitted Jy Simpkin [UFA 2029] - staying at North Melbourne

    I don’t think you can underestimate the effect the Webster hit had on Jy. I don’t think he ever took a short step before that.

    Delisted Tarryn Thomas

    While not terrible some of his off season returns weren’t great either. Can’t imagine he will be in tip top shape if he did come back. Add to this the fact he never really hit his full potential in 4 seasons at North and it’s a massive risk even before you add the off field stuff.

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

    Out of the blue opinion. In NFL which has the premier draft in world sport, teams pick for need not for best available talent. Success is judged by games played over the career. Build the bones of your team in the draft add the muscle later through trades. First pick this year Trainor or...

    Recommitted Christian Petracca [UFA 2029]

    I’m loving the thought of him coming to North. But as much as I hate saying this, wouldn’t Hawthorn or Essendon be a better fit for him?

    Maybe I’m a idiot, but every time I watch Cam play and think about the future I see Stewie Dew in 2008

    Club Focus Richmond 2024

    If you end up doing a North and blowing apart your list letting Baltasound walk as a free agent may not be a bad idea. If you got tier one compo you are looking at 2 pick in top 4 at worst, similar to the Mc Kay situation we had

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 18 - Swans v North Sat July 13th 1:45pm AEST (SCG)

    Strangely enough I think the SCG might work in our favour. Still swans by 20 to 30 points

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread

    Jake Riccardi would be the perfect KPF for us to target. Just at the right age, possible go home factor, no sure thing at his current club. If we start putting the groundwork into him now it could really pay off when his contract finishes in 2 years.

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin - [The Age] Jy's mgmt have sounded clubs out about their interest in Jy as he wants more midfield time

    I wonder if he could be remodelled into a pressure forward. He’s centre square time is only going to get less and less as our young guys mature.

    Player Watch #20: Nick 'Souva' Larkey - 2026 NM Captain

    Might be a good move to start further up the ground next week, give him the chance to expand his leading zone by 180 degrees. Have Teakle and/or Pink play closer to goal to create a contest. May bring help is form and possibly catch GC of guard

    Resource North Melbourne AFL & AFLW Player Contracts

    I believe we have to delist 3 players at the end of the year (or not renew). I’m guessing Sields, Marley, Hansen and Sellers are the prime candidates. Ford Phillips and Archer you would like to see signed sooner than later. Greenwood retirement? Zuhaar? I think Lazzaro is a slow build and may be...

    Recommitted Luke Davies-Uniacke [Signed until 2032]

    Wins are probably more important now than at any other time in our rebuild. Wins are what will help us hang onto LDU, Powell and Zuhaar. I believe we can win 3-5 between now and the end year which will be enormous for us. Another point I’d like to make is that we have never seen a list rebuild...

    Club Focus North Melbourne 2024

    Caleb Daniel would be a awesome fit. A hard running pressure forward would be great and is something we should be looking to draft at the end of the year.

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - '24 SBM - re-signed until the end of 2032 [7 year deal]

    TPP goes up 10% next year, I’d park my contract talks to if I was his manager. Despite not being a top 5 player in the league he has the potential to be top 5 paid for a year or to at least!

    Pick 1 2023 Trade value - What would it take?

    Nobody wants out of the top 8 picks except maybe Geelong. Can’t imagine north trading up to 8 and offering a combo of 2,8&15 would appeal to either club

    Pick 1 2023 Trade value - What would it take?

    Don’t think this deal can be done without the involvement of another club or future picks. I would say Melbourne have a better shot then we do at the moment . Don’t think pick 2&3 are getting packaged up.

    Traded North Melbourne trade their 1st 2024 EoR1 pick to Gold Coast for #18

    All about maxing there draft points, ideally they’d love pick 32 all the way back to 50

    Club Focus North Melbourne 2023 - end of 1st round priority picks, extra rookie spots

    Can’t wait to see the day on this platform when the AFL pulls the pin on priority picks. The team that’s bottom then will explode!!! Are they waiting for the year when the winner of the spoon has 5 wins. Someone will be bleating. But not us this year😉😉

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    Imagine in 2025 if the AFL just decided to clear the boards. Wooden spoon got Pick 1, no swaps, no NGA, no father sons! The draw also would have to be cleared up. 17 rounds playing every team once, alternating each year for home and away. Home being your own ground not Cairns, Hobart or...

    Can PP pick be part of a pick swap? If not what if a low level steak knives player was part of the deal?

    Traded Jacob Hopper [Trade with #53, #63 to Richmond for #31 and F1]

    I’ve posted on here before in regards to this subject, but if Norrth want to split pick 1 (and I hope they do) it’s in a 3 way trade where it will most likely get done. Running my amateur list manager eye over possible trade I like the chances on this one.

    Traded Griffin Logue [Traded with Darcy Tucker, F3 to North for F2 PP, F3 PP and F4]

    I think and hope North play hardball with Freo on this one. Future 2nd trade with Richmond last year sits bitter in the mouth of most fans.

    Club Focus Fremantle 2022 - Corbett, Jackson, O'Meara, Davies, Emmett, Knobel, Reidy

    With the Brodie/GC cap dump, Serong resigning and Jackson coming I’m guessing Freo is preparing is cap for next 3 years. Shedding depth some depth is the cost I guess.

    Player Watch #38: Tristan Xerri - signed thru 2031 - 2024 All Australian squad member - runner up '24 SBM & joint '25 SBM winner

    Ageing veteran ruck resigned, 2 early 20,s understudy’s in first year of a contract. Young project player with possible big upside coming. Close the ruck threads down this year boys.

    Traded Callum Coleman-Jones [Traded to North Melbourne with 42, 47 and a future 4th for Tarrant, 40 and a future 2nd]

    This we win you lose back and forth is getting silly. CCJ will be judged in 5 years time and it looks like pick 20 will go through 2 or 3 clubs hands before it’s used. The winner in this is the CCJ trade thread on big footy.

    List Mgmt. 2022 Trade & List Management Thread

    Ccj and Xerri are both at the start of new contracts and will gain trade capital in a few more years, as the post Goldy ruck pecking order sorts it’s self out. I’m looking at ways Rankzines move back to Adelaide can possibly help us turn Pick 1 into 5 & 7?
