Daz has said that he has inside info North want Trainor.

Inside info?

His family are intergenerational North members, its been well-documented.

The question is whether we'll still use a first rounder on him after all the concussions.

My preferences would be almost identical.

 

[Orange Peanut]

I think we are failing to appreciate that we are not the only ones who see great value in acquiring pick 6 this year. Every other club would be happy to have pick 6 this year including the club that currently holds pick 6 this year.

If they refuse to trade their pick with you, they aren't really your friends.

 

[ferball]

We arent going to take a small forward other then Stevens this year. Next year our stocks are Curtis, Konstatnty, Stevens and RHJ.

Our first priority has to be a KPF unless we view Will Dawson as a KPF. Tauru is going to be viewed as a future foorward due to his assets but is the least prove of all the available ones. Armstrong, Shanahan, Jitlock, Faul all have more runs on the board but in my opinion lower ceilings. Part of why this draft is so tough.

Ill still call it we are taking 2 to the draft. FOS is far safer then anyone at 6 (which at least would need to be involved). I think we trade our F1 for another throw at the stumps though. Not sure what that looks like though. Tigers obvious trading partners because they will want to trade some picks to next year. The issue will be the value.

Payne has been playing as a small forward since we drafted him.

 

[ferball]

We’ll be taking Stevens - it’s what our club does

We should.

Of all the recent (ish) potential F/S's we could have had in different circumstances only Crocker, probably Cooper and one Brayshaw have been failures. Six would be considered successful and Arch will probably make that seven. The odds favour River being a decent player.

 

[RHLK]

Have a look at River Stevens' physique - huge room for 'improvement'.

Not sure he has the frame to put on much weight, albeit I have only seen him play once two years ago

Yes I’m on the river- boat.
At his slender frame - he’s still having an impact on games.

Do you know Trainor has had 3 concussions in 9 years or something. Tin foil hat on here, but…….could this be a bit of a beat up by another club so he slides?

Don’t see the Ziebell or Fyfe comparisons with Langford. Without watching him live and just on highlights I get Jordan Lewis

Or us

I like it. He will bust arse for North. Great kid.

I'm hoping its not a big issue, but only the clubs will know with the medical info.
I think it might only be a chance if we split pick 2 though.

 

[The Talent Scout]

This guy keeps on giving us trainor in these vids. Even when we had 2, he was still giving us trainor there. He just wont let it go.

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

I'm starting to come to terms with the idea we won't be splitting pick 2.
Richmond was the possibility but it just doesn't fit.
6+11 is too much and 6+18 is not enough.
I guess we take FOS or Lalor and hope we can trade F1 or F2 into this year to chase a key position talent.

 

[DuckYeah]

****ing finally someone agrees with me. I just got called an old campaigner on our board

Take your pre world war 2 views and ship off Breadwinner

The concussions are great concern.

 

[austinnn]

The only way this would work for us is in a live trade on draft night when it gets to pick 10 or 11 and if either Tauru or Armstrong is still available. Most likely, Richmond would prefer to take either one (or possibly both), but if they have other plans, then I'd consider offering F1, ideally with something else coming back. Same goes for StKilda's picks at 7 and 8. I wouldn't offer F1 ahead of time, but on the night, we could make a play if our target is still on the board.

Just so you know, Saints are not going to be trading away 7 & 8, especially not for future picks. SOS loves this draft and wants in, not out. He has other plans next year. Lyon and Misson have been consistently on message in this regard publicly. We might possibly split 8 for later stuff depending but we'll only part with 7 for an earlier pick.

Came in peace, but just letting you know now to prevent you wasting your time thinking of viable trade options.

By the way, I don't think any other clubs want to trade out of this draft that haven't already, but those that want to will have queues of suitors.

Wait wasn’t Dawson a first rounder?

"Impact midfielder" is code for "doesn't get enough of the ball"

I do enjoy the certainty surrounding what clubs will and won't do posted on internet chat forums.

It is comforting.
