Yep Boak would be huge for us with his training standards and still playing at a high level

Port are cooked also

The other names mentioned are cooked and shouldn’t be considered
Some might be cooked but would still walk into our best 22 and elevate training standards beyond belief.

We currently have blokes like Tarryn Thomas and Zurhaar strutting around training like they are Andrew Mcleod and Dustin Martin.

We are so so far behind every other club that any of the blokes mentioned would be massively beneficial
 
Angus Brayshaw is the perfect pickup. And if JHF wants to leave, send him to the club his father played for and get the other Brayshaw in return to play with his bro. This has a nice family theme to it.
 
Richmond are talking about trading Dusty Martin, Daniel Rioli and Liam Baker.
Far as I can see we could use all three of them.
Mega Richmond trade in the offing?

North Melbourne are in the market for an experienced and highly-respected veteran player at the tail-end of his career, in the manner of Hawthorn great Luke Hodge’s move to the Brisbane Lions.

The Kangaroos - recognising their relative lack of leaders and a need for senior players with significant authority to help the development of a young list - will be looking for a senior player who fits that bill, following the success of Hodge and four-time Hawks premiership teammate Grant Birchall at the Lions.

Sources familiar with North Melbourne’s thinking said the recruit had to be a player who would command respect from the moment they walked in the door, and they might be a player to whom their current club did not wish to offer a new contract - the situation that faced Hodge in 2017.

If North did recruit one or more accomplished senior players to support their young group - which has been without their best player, Ben Cunnington, and will probably lose Todd Goldstein at season’s end - they would also be emulating Greater Western Sydney in their infancy, when the Giants used James McDonald, Chad Cornes, and Luke Power to bolster their unusually inexperienced playing list.

There are a number of outstanding veteran leaders coming out of contract, including Richmond’s triple-premiership skipper Trent Cotchin and Geelong captain Joel Selwood, but it is unclear which players would be willing to take on that role at North, which could also offer a coaching deal to entice a veteran to join. Scott Pendlebury is one champion who has been mooted as an ideal candidate for North Melbourne, albeit Pendlebury already has a contract for 2023 with the Magpies.

Sydney’s Josh Kennedy is also coming out of contract this year, as is Hawthorn’s less-heralded but well-respected leader Liam Shiels.

North Melbourne have already indicated to the AFL that they will apply for a priority draft pick in due course, having a record over the past two seasons that is among the worst since the draft system was introduced.

Club sources said the review of the Kangaroos’ poor football performance would pose two key questions. One is on the state of the playing list and how that can be redressed. The second question is why some of their more talented players, such as Tarryn Thomas, were not performing at a level commensurate with their ability this year.

The review, which is being conducted by veteran administrator and ex-Collingwood and North Melbourne football boss Geoff Walsh, will focus on the football department and will not review chief executive Ben Amarfio or his administration, whose performance is overseen by the board.

While senior coach David Noble is under enormous pressure to retain his joband would be the obvious casualty, the review will encompass all facets of the football department. Walsh’s review is expected to be completed well before the season ends.

The AFL also expects North’s financial position - relatively strong over the pandemic period, when it has been buttressed by their Tasmanian games and reduced club spending on football - to take a hit this year, and that the club would likely seek additional funding.

The AFL has chosen to take a hands-off approach to North Melbourne’s on-field crisis, leaving the club to manage their own affairs, but is clearly concerned that the club’s on-field performances make a complete outlier in the competition this year, as West Coast becomes increasingly competitive following the return of senior players.

Wasnt mentioned in the article but Shannon Hurn could be an option.

Averaging 21 disposals and only 0.1 clangers pg in 2022 and with his big boot he could be a steadying influence down back.

Was captain at the Eagles and with over 300 games should command instant respect.
 
Selwood or Boak would be interesting. Seems insane to have one of them and Greenwood and Anderson on the list though but I'd still do it.

Pendlebury or Cotchin would be great too but they don't seem gettable.

Hurn is probably the perfect fit.

I would also look at Shiels, Callan Ward and Phil Davis
 
Travis Boak for me.

Imagine taking about recruiting in leadership when you have wasted spots on senior players like Greenwood and Polec though ...

🤮
 
Wonder if there would be any fringe players like an Ellis type that we could poach.
Multiple premierships under a good system with high training standards.
Brisbane really struck gold getting hodge and birchill in consecutive years.

Amon is one. The trouble is, he probably wouldn't come to us for all money right now.

Alas, the pendulum swings. As sure as night becomes day, the pendulum swings.
 
5 years to Angus Brayshaw as an inside and outside mid with premiership experience
4 years to Jake Lloyd as a defensive general and elite distributor
3 years to Dusty who would finish his career predominately as a forward and would command instant respect from his new team mates

Those would provide elite experience in all parts of the ground and would allow us to hit the minimum salary cap as a bonus.

2x PPs (pick 1 and 19) allow us to get Wardlaw, Busslinger, a KPF, and Cooper Harvey in the draft.

Throw in Clarko as the icing on the cake

C’mon AFL, that’s what a real intervention should be netting us.

We can just throw JHF at Port for Boak seeing JHF wants out, then we can throw pick 1 at Liam Shiel and PP2 at the Aints for Crouch.
I can see how the power point presentation went now, add in TT for a turd rounder with Cam as steak knives.
Then we get a late second for BMac and a late turd for Souva.

So bare with me.

Pick 1 PP
Pick 2
Pick 54
Pick 72
JHF
TT
ZUR
Souv
BMac

Turns into

Boak
Shiel
Crouch
Pick 34
Pick 37
Pick 58
Pick 69
Pick 70
And young Cooper

Lots of mid range picks to snag the next PoleCat or Mahoney or Will Walker or Liam Anthony.

Are we winning yet??

Not bad, not bad at all. But I reckon we could split Pick 2 and then get both Crouch boys.

Then we've won.
