Mod notice after Mr Bob did a lot of annoying work in moving days of posts out of here. As we are heading into offseason, this thread is for 2023 list management only. Getting upset on previous trades can be taken to the vent thread. Lets keep this thread on track in the part of the year it's actually relevant

And incredibly the two teams they are almost definitely trading with are Sydney and Carlton...

I'll hold off really blowing up until I see the trades but the trades for Fisher and Stephens (both picks in the 30s at best) should be interesting given North's incentive to trade those two future late firsts.

doesn’t matter. They’ve been given three first round draft picks and Essendon are going to pay enough for that potato McKay to get them pick 3
 
Nah, we've tried kids with talent, work ethic and drive and that hasn't landed us a flag.

I want to Walls to just focus on dickheads for this draft. Kids who don't cover their mouth when coughing, park in disabled bays, talk loudly at the theatre etc

Which Of you draftees didn’t flush the toilet?

Mullet Boy: Me

Are you saving water

Mullet Boy: Nah just can’t be stuffed

Welcome to Fremantle

Mullet Boy: Ace

Ummmm that’s Pav’s grand final jumper you’re wiping your hands with

Mullet Boy: Calm your farm mate….I don’t trust the hand driers in the dunny

Well at least you washed your hands

Mullet Boy: Nah mate was just trying to hit the wall above the urinals and had some splash back

How’s a 3 year contract sound?

Main point being the AFL made it so we got a future 2nd and future 3rd - about right or unders. If those two future picks are traded to Sydney and Carlton they have made sure they get significant overs. Just potentially another example of #****freo
 
Lobb was 26 when we joined, had not kick 40 goals in his career.

I don't see why you would bring him in for a top 10 pick.

I don't recall us trading a top 10 pick for him, unless it was equivalent on points?

Not saying he was a good trade by any measure and can't argue we missed out on talent.

Pick 6 for Hogan though...

look…Hogan on the weekend was worth pick 6 and then some…

the fact he couldn’t do it here is another story

My issue is that any sort of "due diligence" would have probably come to the conclusion that his odds of doing it here were remote.

Hindsight bias and all that but it was a high price to pay just to roll the dice on him. Especially at the time when he plateauing after a good first season.
 
From 2015 North have played finals twice, and Fremantle twice.

here North have three years of draft and trade concessions
Any other premier comp in the world allocate arbitrary subjective concessions to individual clubs? North have had the same access to the draft and free agency as everyone else yet they are bailed out??? Joke of a competition. Fitzroy are still waiting for their concessions.

They want to make use of having a premiership coach

The AFL couldn't rid themselves of North Melbourne so they need to mow bail them out.

AFL corruption is huge. No different to allowing each gws free kick to be ignored in the last quarter as they want Collingwood in the grandfinal.
 
Take away Corbett and that's basically our key forward depth gone, there's nothing wrong with having guys on the list that can fill a role when it's needed who otherwise play reserves.
You are right, but if we retain Hamling both Cox and Jackson give us flexibility to cover some issues. And surely we retain Taberner.

Pick 6 for Hogan though...
  1. 6, F3 > 11, 23, 30, 49 (with Port)
  2. Neale, 30 > 6, 19, 55 (with Brisbane)
  3. Lobb, 14, 43, 47 >11, 19 (with GWS)
  4. 47, 49, 55 > 31 (with North)
No trade with Hogan and instead the following trade with GWS:
Lobb, 14, 43, 47 >11, 23

We go to draft:
6, 14, 19, 31

Even the deal as it was with Lobb was pick 41 on pts.

Re the “no dickheads” policy- someone clever nailed it earlier. We over corrected. That’s the one constant of the last 30 years: Freo realising they ****ed up and swinging too far the other way to correct. Too far and too late. So we end up with the opposite problem, which we over correct and so on.

We had a few too many of Ross’s “wrong side of the tracks” project players, of which precisely none came good, so by the time of the Brayshaw/Cerra draft we corrected by really favouring solid citizen/school prefect types.

Which is great, I love me some Geelong Grammar goodness, but when a Liam Henry type is looking around and he’s seeing Amon, Pickett and May types swimming in poontang and goodtimes and then he’s looking back and he’s seeing Brayshaw interviewing his chums about what makes their house a home and Serong neatening up his sneaker collection, I can tell which way the head is swivelling to settle.

We need to embrace diversity.

I think the policy started as a reaction to them
My criticism would be focused on the due diligence.

Hogan and McCarthy as players we seem to have tracked for years should have been no surprise. That's a due diligence failure.

Bennell issues were primarily injury issues, or at the least, his off field issues spiraled when we failed to turn them around. That's a due diligence failure.

Personally I give the Lobb trade a tick. I think he performed around what was expected, perhaps at the lower end.

Lobb was basically pick 6 for him and Sturt.

I think we split the puck before. Something like pick 6 for 11 and 19.

11 and 19 for lobb and 14 roughly.
