If you changed that question to we get JHF and North get our 1st this year and 1st next year would you do the deal?I think North would win the trade as they'd almost certainly be able to draft a few decent players from 5 attempts
However for us I think it would be borderline as to which haul is better

Massive oversight ... only 21 and has the attributes we lack as a big bodied mid with penetrating kick who can go forward and hit the scoreboard .Wow, for all the incessant whinging that goes on in these threads, and this issue gets NO traction.
I am well and truly pissed off we didn't get this bloke.
Did you his father Wayne was a pretty handy footballer as junior too, Captained the St Patrick's College first Vlll in the late 70's...Wow, for all the incessant whinging that goes on in these threads, and this issue gets NO traction.

If he turns out a good player and Turner not, what will you say about Hamish's decision? Or will it be hindsight is a wonderful thing?Did you his father Wayne was a pretty handy footballer as junior too, Captained the St Patrick's College first Vlll in the late 70's...
Let's not get too carried away just yet though.

Hamish wouldn't have had a lot to do with Tuirner or Carmichael, that would be down to our SANFL scouts. Hamish is Victoria based. I don't know who our SANFL head scout is, Steve McCrystal used to do our VFL mature age scouting. But hey bring Hamish into everything as you do if it makes you feel good.If he turns out a good player and Turner not, what will you say about Hamish's decision?

He is the head recruiter and if he isnt across the ONE selection we made in the mid season draft then I would be shocked. Then he takes recommendations but still has the final say.Hamish wouldn't have had a lot to do with Tuirner or Carmichael, that would be down to our SANFL scouts. Hamish is Victoria based.

Oh I agree, given we were the only club to talk to Turner compared to the multiple clubs who spoke to Carmichael says it all. In the end though we could have had both.Turner had 1 VERY good game against us, but a younger Carmichael was consistently good in the SANFL, and that same consistency has transferred to VFL.
Watch him play this weekend, I have no doubt we've royally fu(ked this one up.
Younger, higher ceiling, big bodied like we've been looking for and can score goals.

Did Turner and or Carmichael nominate terms greater than 6 months? If so, could that have been a factor in why we only took 1 player with an eye to the main draft and list places?That's the ridiculous part of it all, we could have selected Carmichael first and then got Turner, no one was picking Turner.
He's the head recruiter. Criticism is warranted here.Hamish wouldn't have had a lot to do with Tuirner or Carmichael, that would be down to our SANFL scouts. Hamish is Victoria based.

I would have thought our head recruiter would have had a pretty big say in the 1 player we selected in the mid season draft. Surely he is watching every SANFL game via video and can have some input into who we select?Hamish wouldn't have had a lot to do with Tuirner or Carmichael, that would be down to our SANFL scouts.

Carmichael's stats vs Richmond VFL last week 25 Disposals 18 kicks 7 handballs 4 tackles 5 marks 0.3 taken from the VFL app (3rd VFL game)He is the head recruiter and if he isnt across the ONE selection we made in the mid season draft then I would be shocked. Then he takes recommendations but still has the final say.
That has to be the weakest defence of Hamish I have seen.
Mutineer what are you actually disagreeing about, that the head recruiter isnt responsible for who we draft or its not the weakest excuse? If its the latter, do you have another example?
Should we wait to see how they turn out before criticising? Just a thoughtHe's the head recruiter. Criticism is warranted here.
You know and I know Nicks and Godden would have had major input in Turner coming to us....both were at the game when he played so well against us.I would have thought our head recruiter would have had a pretty big say in the 1 player we selected in the mid season draft.

Agree I’d go for Dow for Sholl every day of the weekJack Carroll but you'd likely need more than a swap for Sholl.
Liam Stocker no doubt would be of interest and Paddy Dow perhaps though no doubt the Boards resident "spud" marker would be upset re Dow if we had interest.
Dow IMO would be great value if it was a level swap.
I’d say we would be wanting to stockpile a pick to help match Michaelanny bidProbably looking at pick 50 or a 3rd round pick upgrade
That and a list weakness for mids that can play also play small forwardYou know and I know Nicks and Godden would have had major input in Turner coming to us....both were at the game when he played so well against us.
These are not players Hamish would have been tracking closely the last couple of years.
Turner's 89% disposal efficiency at SANFL in 2022, pretty decent DE for a midfielder and likely a reason why we were attracted to him.?
I agree that Nick's and Godden most likely would have been pushing for us to select him, but Hamish would have still had to have reviewed hours of footage of each of our main targets as he would be the one making the final call on who we decided to select.You know and I know Nicks and Godden would have had major input in Turner coming to us....both were at the game when he played so well against us.

2 early 1st round picks will be enough if he sees out his contract first IMO ( stays at north next year )Struggle to see how his value has gone up after his season to date.
What about Will Hayward ?Jeez we missed out big time passing on
