I reckon we should reward someone from Northern. Keep promoting from within and make our 2s a place good footballers want to play.

You mean the speculative picks at 66 & 70 amongst other luninaries such as Robbie Young, Jake Tarca, Joel Croker, Caleb Graham, Brayden Ham, Riley Grundy, Oscar Brownless, Toby Bedford, Boyd Woodcock, Atu Bosenavulagi and Will Hayes. Those were the players taken immediately after Finbar. Not too many household names there.
Sometimes perspective is an important thing.
Not sure Northern is from within anymore, but I get the gist of what you're saying. Although our most recent attempt at this (O'Shea) didn't pan out too well.

I keep referring to the 2s as Northern. My mistake. Recruit from our own reserves!
What makes you think he is dogs bound
Someone who has elevated during the first half of the season. Surely there will be plenty of prospects around with so many missing the opportunity to shine last season. List needs are a priority if they are an even bunch, however if real quality is on show, and obtainable, you grab it.
Major list needs are as indicated by many Key Position, preferably defender and developing/back up ruckman. I do not want to take a short termer though.
I can't place any proven journeymen rucks on the horizon, so it needs to be a young(ish) state leaguer or a kid showing real potential. The future is more
important than the now.
Short to medium term requirements are a KPD, depending on Charlie Curnow's (and Kemp's) progress by mid season a KPF, and ideally a developing ruckman.
Even better is the ruck has solid forward credentials.
We need to nail the pick to fill a hole before the national draft, to lessen the urgency with our draft collateral. From my limited knowledge the only known quality KPP overager not picked up last year was Tassie boy Callow now playing SANFL. Talented kid, but athleticism not his strong point, so may not be suitable. Ruck/forward probably the logical position to fill unless father/son McKay, or perhaps Zavier Maher stand out.
Zavier Maher? signed to our ressies team

There was some talk that he had been offered a spot, but did it actually happen?
Can't find confirmation of that anywhere.

Thanks. I have no idea what the difference is between the primary and development lists. Does it say anything about that in the article?

Is OOC Sam Flanders worth us chasing for ?
Though quite the contingent have moved across including BSOS & Finbar as the latest recruits.
Josh Fraser along with Ben Hart in the coaches box.
Z.Maher is playing NAB League as well (then will get a gig with us during the hiatus they have this year).
They used to be U19’s but maybe that’s changed to +1yr now

The pick swap with Kemp / Philp from 2019 draft.
Played on Sat as the medical sub but didn’t do much. Was highly rated at draft time but slid and should get a guernsey with all their injuries to see what he’s got at AFL level.
If we do get to fill a spot then a versatile tall would get my vote.
We went into the year with just 2 rucks and Charlie under a massive cloud, we were always going to struggle with KPP depth.
OMAC is looking like a shrewd get now.

I take the claim of nepotism to mean that SOS picked his son (although he excused himself from all family discussions) and Finbar deliberately above others with better credentials. Which of the list that were taken after these picks makes that case?

Any of those would have been a better pick than Finbar.
At least BSOS had AFL traits. Why pick his mate too?

So if BSOS was an acceptable pick but the Finbar pick was the one that concerned you then it is clearly not nepotism, just a bad speculative pick?
Yep.
It's not just the players taken after, it's the ones taken in the 10-15 picks before when you take into account the way late picks are live-traded.
