Just remember the ball can travel from one end of the ground to the other quicker than usain bolt can run it. (With good foot skills)

Like I said I understand he's strengths, but North need an outright midfielder.
LDU,Dow,cerra. Flip a coin for Rayner/Stephenson.

Gee it's disheartening when you compare our draft position to Fremantles. They could secure Rayner and Stephenson on draft day.

We need to get more creative with our list management. Excuses like "he doesn't want to leave", "he's contracted" and "he's a top 5 player" aren't excuses that I'm willing to accept.

If we do, then we are looking at 4 years of bottom 4 finishes absolute minimum.

And they also lost one of their brightest prospects in Weller.

We very rarely get good players wanting to leave, which is probably why we don't end up with high draft picks every year.

Not really that jealous of a club that lost one of their best young talents after giving him three years of development. Good place to start again but it's still starting again.

Cerra is a good solid player to begin the rebuild with.

I don't think he's Scott Pendlebury, more like Dom Tyson with a good peg.

Hoping we take a bit of a risk with the second rounder though. We need to get some real athletes onto the list, either pace/power/size what ever (still decent players though), no Majak's.

I'd almost be reaching for Kelly at the second rounder.

Think he's going to be a jet mature ager.
Yeah i really rate Kelly.....looks qual

So people have told whom they'd like us to pick, but who do people think our club will actually choose?

I have a feeling it might be Stephenson.

As for who I would like....havent seen the top 5-6 really play much to form an opinion. Just want it to be a good ball user. I have no time for guys that are poor by foot and hand. They say Stephenson isnt great but could just be a tall lanky co-ordination issue that comes with not being fully grown and matured body.

We can still pick up someone like Worpel with our second pick.

Was there a Rayner one last year or are they already out this year?
Mmm it had the animation hero things in that video....you can't watch the video yet?

Rayner was the Bull. I found it pretty funny with the breathing coming out of his nose.
