Stephens looks a little underwhelming- looks fragile
He'd be the best endurance runner in our club bar none, and otherwise his stats are basically analogous with Scott's, once you adjust the ToG.
(That's with less opportunity and continuity than Bailey has had, thanks to Gulden et al.)
Stephens would be fine.
 
Thought it was interesting the comments Twomey made at the end of the latest episode of Gettable.

He basically expressed the view that the top end of this draft is "very, very special", and it would make sense for clubs to trade their future firsts to get one of these at the expense of the top candidates from next year, because 2024 "doesn't have the same star power".

So some iteration of our F1 for GC 2023 first rounder: get it done, Euge.
 
My reservation was that I don't have any expertise on the 2024 talent coming through, I've only seen selected highlights footage of the top candidates.
I've just been waiting on a specialist to confirm my suspicions. :)
I just feel like we can tick off so many of our list issues this off season and want to see us having as many picks at the pointy end as possible
 
How does Stephens foot work compare to Sam Gibsons? This is what we should be basing all winger decisions on. Gino’s elite running kept us in games, but his finishing was his downside

Its okay.
He can manage a decent penetrating kick every now and then, but mostly its around Bailey Scott standard, with maybe a smidge less turnovers.
 
If you consider the BMac situation from the perspective of an acquiring club, you can either get him for a salary or a bit less salary and give up a pick. If you give up a pick it will have to be first round. The difference in salary between having to give a first round pick is maybe $200k for 2/3 years?

I'm not sure that any club wouldn't jump at getting a first round pick, even late, for a few hundred over a few years.

The bottom line is that if any club wants buckets, the only way it will make sense is through free agency at whatever salary is satisfactory.

Okay Gibson's 2km during the year he was drafted by us was 5.58 according to a BF poster way back here:


I haven't been able to find any record of what he had during his time with us after then.

RookieMe has Stephens' draft year 2km as 3 seconds slower, at a not-too-shabby 6.01:

 
We'd better be after at least one, if not both, of those lads. No brainers given our absurd lack of outside class
 

KANGAS KEEPING AN EYE ON DEFENDERS​


NORTH Melbourne is monitoring the key defensive market ahead of this year's trade and draft period, as the club continues to wait on a decision over the future of its star free agent Ben McKay.

As revealed on AFL.com.au's Gettable last month, Swans unrestricted free agent Lewis Melican looms as an option as North Melbourne scours the possible key defensive targets.

The interest in Melican comes as McKay continues to weigh up his future, and with fellow key defender Griffin Logue set to miss a significant portion of next season after rupturing his ACL earlier this year.

Speaking on Gettable last week, the club's list manager Brady Rawlings said the Kangaroos were keeping a watchful eye over the market regardless of McKay's decision and said he was confident they would add to that area of the field.

"We've been in that space in our scouting," Rawlings told Gettable.

"When you do have a free agent who hasn't signed, you need to prepare to keep him and prepare to lose him. We've certainly been looking in that space to give us some more depth in that area.

"Whether that's through draft or trade, we're confident we'll bolster that part of the ground in this off-season." – Riley Beveridge

Unrestricted, so can get him for nothing

With tassie potentially coming in the next few years, I feel like we need to front load picks too. Need to get these boys 2-3 years playing together to make it hard for them to leave, and reduce our reliance on high-picks when Tassie come and take 2-3-4 years worth of the top 10 talent. IMO, this draft is the most important North will have for a very long time, and getting it wrong now could have serious long term consequences.
