more than happy to trade up for Curtin. But not for O’Sullivan.

North fans confident Clarko will get his way and take Curtin now. Which would throw the top 6 into a bit of chaos. Suddenly Hawks would go Mckercher and Riley Sanders/Watson slide.

 

[StonesThrow]

He's drafted 3, he said so in 5aa yesterday

On SM-F926B using BigFooty.com mobile app

He's drafted around 65 players since 2012.

That means he drafts a Tasmanian 4.6% of the time.

I think there are around 800 current players and 24 Tasmanians so that makes around 3% of the afl.

Sounds about right. Another one debunked

I’d love to be able to have a crack at Mckercher

He’s the perfect game changing mid that we desire

But no chance unfort

 

[Thunderstruck]

Cal normally doesn't get many wrong in the top 10 but this year seems quite a challenge to get it right given how many sides may trade up or down. I think I've seen Curtin linked to almost every club in the top 10.

He would be a dream and I am 90% confident we trade up but who for I'm not sure. Most likely for O'Sullivan.

Forgot to mention, seems shocking that roos don't bid on Walter unless Cal knows of some gentleman's agreement...

 

[Dangerousfield]

If Norf don't bid on Walter at pick 2 then they are showing they haven't got any better at this since they let Daicos slip to pick 4.
Took JHF because he had a desire to be the number one pick - idiots.

Norf however are still a basket case, only good at being the begging bowl of the AFL.

Any talk of our F1 being involved this year needs to understand it may only be a mid to late teens pick. Robbed of finals this year, big ladder jumpers in 2024

 

[Crow till I die]

Praying and hoping Saints don’t takybee Wilson the pick before us lol

Yep, it’s irresponsible to draft ‘scared’

Need to back in the club culture

Maybe if wilson was still on the board we trade up with them using 14 and 20 and maybe get a later pick back

 

[Danger in Texas]

Best chance would be trading with Sydney, they could probably still get Will Green at 14 and it gets us ahead of the Saints

Croft is awfully low there, I thought most projections had him around 10-13?

I was expecting Essendon to bid on him at 11.

 

[Crowman32]

Just a question on Connor O'Sullivan. He's obviously a very good mark, good kick but what's his spoiling the ball in defence like? He doesn't seem to be a powerful spoiler of the ball to me.

I am hoping we get Welsh, Draper and Petty next off season. No flight risks amongst that group either.

Lets hope these fxxkheads are miles off.

leake and goad with our first two picks..

a halfback from tassie, of which we have shitloads on our list already, and a ruck prospect.

cant think of anything less inspiring.

Hugh Greenwood and Jack Osborn were technically drafted as well on top of the other 3

Kind of beautiful, the meltdown on here would be on another Doedee level. lol.

 

[1990crow]

Curtin would be very good but you'd bet West Coast would be into him every minute he would be here.

 

[CrowinNT]

Good chat with Connor O'Sullivan who could be our guy...

He has some personality vibes about him that I link with Knarlin Ned
Xx
Totally different player though

[ams4crows]

I'm happy with that, not moving any picks and landing O'Sullivan C.Edwards and Goad, perfect draft in my book and wish I could lock it in now!

Picking Edwards over Wilson...?

Swap Edwards for Wilson and I'm happy.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Swap Edwards for Wilson and I'm happy.

Why ? .....apart from the board group think

Edwards is a MID ....Wilson is a WING / HF

Edwards is 191 cm .....do we no longer need a big bodied mid ??

I'm happy whichever way we go .....just no Caddy and De Mattia, or whatever his name is

 

[Brett Cummings]

Please anyone but o'sullivan. I'd rake wilson, leake, windsor and obviously curtin.

I reckon twomey is trippin balls this year. No way curtin slips to geelong.

 

[latinoheat]

I don’t profess to know anything about the Roos list, but wouldn’t you grab a key defender with one of your later picks?

Pick 2 – North Melbourne – Colby McKercher
Pick 4 – North Melbourne – Zane Duursma

Pick 20 – North Melbourne – Darcy Wilson
Pick 22 – North Melbourne – Riley Hardeman

Pick 23 – North Melbourne – Mitchell Edwards

Does Edwards become an A grade midfielder?
I'm not a full time draft watcher so can only go on highlights, but I'd be surprised if he did.

Wilson could be an A grade winger.
Next year we should be targeting an experienced A grade midfielder to complement Rachele, Pedlar, Dawson and Soligo.
Another 18 year to this mix only means the development curve gets dragged back.

I honestly don't know .....hopefully the recruiters do

Jeffcrowe , Danger in Texas what's your thoughts on Edwards upside ?

 

[Crows I Am]

Curtin would be very good but you'd bet West Coast would be into him every minute he would be here.

I am more comfortable with our player retention these days. I'm sure Rachele was getting a lot of offers to go back to Vic but he decided to stay on a long term deal. Our young kids seem to have a really good culture and they all look to be enjoying their time at the club.

If we can somehow manage to get Curtin then there is no way we would pass him up due to being from WA. You take the best talent available and back ourselves to keep him long term.
