No, just their earning capacity.

I called the club to congratulate them on a great trade week so far, but got the answering machine message:
"Sorry we can't take your call right now due to the large number of calls congratulating us on our brilliant trading. Be assured we are not letting this go to our head. Please call back later on the new number 23151718"
 
I like how nuffies who only follow the "top first round" phantom drafts assume that there are no players of worth after that...
It’s more the percentages. Players in the top are more likely to play 100, 200 games etc

The argument isn’t that you can’t find gems or good players with late picks but the success rate is much less.

In our position now we need more higher probability picks.

And it's not just the phantom draft, there is talk on multiple mediums that this is a very shallow draft and now talking less than 50 taken.... so even saying as low as 40 which is further highlighted by multiple clubs trying to get out of the 2nd rd not just those that need the points.

We are in a pretty unique position right now and on the cusp of something massive if we can get that GWS deal done.

If the GWS deal is in the works, I can actually see us ending up with 4 x top 10 picks.

Something like:

15 for Haynes & 7

17, 18, F2 (North) for 8 + F2 (Geelong)



2,3,7,8.

McKercher, Duursma/Watson, O'Sullivan, Caddy.
If that eventuates, then there are no excuses over the next decade to not be in contention.

Phil Davis had interesting comments yesterday - based on the GWS experience - about the pressure on a bunch of high draft picks when it’s assumed they will achieve success based on their junior careers. I think he was responding to a caller saying North should ditch all its older players and put its faith in these and recent draftees.

We absolutely should not do that.

These new pieces need to compliment what we’ve already got (which is a solid group).

If we’re not in flag contention by 2027, shit has gone south.
 
They aren't going to take 5 into the draft. Two or 3. At least 2 of 15,17,18 will change hands

Who would you pick at 15,17,18 as there would only be Murphy left at that stage and he is a long way of it

three of Schoenmaker, Leake, Roberts, Edwards, Reid (A) Freijah, Philofax etc etc.

It’s really disgusting what WC want to put Reid through. Absolutely disgusting…

He's absolutely right. When you're younger it's amazing what having an experienced hand around does for you. We actually probably need one more Shiels type player to come in.

"West Coast have rejected North Melbourne’s offer for the Eagles’ prized pick one, with the Kangaroos refusing to part ways with either of their top two picks."
