Jed's an interesting one moving forward.
He's a heart and soul player, definitely great depth to have, but you can just see him being forced out by sheer weight of numbers in the midfield in the next few years.
Would be great if Noble could re-purpose him like he has with Turner and Ziebell, as I can't see a spot for him in the center with the emergence of Thomas, Powell and Phillips as center square options that need game time there. That's also excluding our top pick this year.
I agree with this.
I think what will hurt Jed the most is his inability to hit a target by foot. A fundamental of the game plan is to bite off an aggressive 45 degree kick into the middle whenever you get a chance in order to open up the field. Jed doesn’t have that ability.
As you mentioned thats probably a couple years away. He could spend more time forward when the kids push him outJed's an interesting one moving forward.

I don't know, a lot of players who previous fitted the same bill - or who I think do.I agree with this.

Ziebell, Walker, Hall, Turner etc have really improved their accuracy and I wonder if it has to do with Noble's game plan. Shorter kicks being hit by players making space and presenting.
It would be interesting to see how he goes with this free flowing footy rather than the congested stuff of the past 4 years.
I don't know about that.I agree with this.

I don't know about that.
In a few of his early games he was kicking some really nice ones at 45 degree angles. Only thing is, he was aiming straight.
Jed will just end up playing the forward pressure role that Mahony does but at least Jed will do more than just thatJed's an interesting one moving forward.

Are you just doing it for reactions now?Jed will just end up playing the forward pressure role that Mahony does but at least Jed will do more than just that

Well he’ll be kicking more than 30m at goal for a startYeah Jed a much better kick into f50 than Jack
I cannot think of a worse way to use Jed and Mahony than that. Jed's fundamentally an inside mid, at times last year he was carrying the onball brigade. Tackling machine and a great contested ball winner, but with less skill in his entire body than TT has in his little finger. Couldn't hit an elephant at 5 yards. The amount of times he butchered that last kick inside 50 last season is actually incredibleJed will just end up playing the forward pressure role that Mahony does but at least Jed will do more than just that
NORTH MELBOURNEAnyone with a subscription willing to paste the north section?
Interesting that Atu is not listed. That would mean he's contracted for next year.
Edit: Confirmed by MM that Young and Atu are contracted for 2022.
At least half of that 16 won't be on the list next year - either delisted/traded/fa.NORTH MELBOURNE
Out of contract (16): Shaun Atley (UFA), Tom Campbell (UFA), Trent Dumont (UFA), Jacob Edwards, Taylor Garner (UFA), Aaron Hall, Charlie Ham, Kyron Hayden (UFA), Matt McGuinness, Connor Menadue (UFA), Robbie Tarrant (UFA), Dom Tyson, Josh Walker (UFA), Patrick Walker, Will Walker (UFA), Jack Ziebell (UFA)
Aiden Bonar’s encouraging progress earned him a two-year deal. Mid-season draftees Edwards and Ham are also set for extensions, including up to three years for the former. Negotiations for Ziebell and Atley are on pause, but they are expected to each receive at least one more year. Josh Walker is on track for a 2022 deal, and the Roos want Tarrant to play on. Dumont is keen to be an onballer and could explore his free agency options, while Hall’s been prolific down back and preliminary discussions are underway. Garner faces a long wait but offers upside, while Tyson has played only six games in three seasons. McGuinness could get a third year as a category B rookie, and Patrick Walker is going well.

Remember when the media was running with it being a fact that we had negotiated a 4 year deal for Edwards prior to picking him up in the mid season draft? And then how he consistently denied it every time he was asked after being drafted? And how now, months down the track, they're saying he's "set" for an extension of up to 3 year?
Nah, couldn’t have, Caro would have somehow blasted us for itI reckon we wrote it on a piece of paper and put it in the same drawer at AFL House where Kelly's 8yr deal is.
