so further to thisthe following needs to be told to Brady pick 25 and future first are off limits
You can trade pick 44,62, a future second, future 3rd and consider a split pick 2
that’s it
Gee, that reads a lot different to the Tom Morris tweet doesn't it...Kangaroos play waiting game

North Melbourne are waiting to see what eventuates with Gold Coast’s pick 13 and therefore their potential to be seriously involved in Dan Houston race before being in a position to make decisions on Caleb Daniel offer.
Western Bulldogs know something could come through pipeline for Daniel once resolution on pick 13.
The Magpies have had the inside running on pick 13 all along, but have yet to get it in their hands, with the onus on new list boss Justin Leppitsch to get that deal done.

Don’t go off our draft history. That’s why we are where we are. Our drafting has to be better or else we might as well shut up shop.Yep and the only pick of recent years we have in that range that at this stage can be considered a near definite success is Paul Curtis. The others either haven’t shown enough yet/too early to call or don’t look like being at AFL level.
It all comes down to how long we think Daniel will be in our side and improve it.
So F1 for pick 13 and then pick 13 for Daniel.
F1 for Daniel. Now that would be something!
Media reports are conflicting. Just wait until things actually happen.i can’t keep up with the pace of this thread today. Just tell me, should I be nervous? Should I be on the sack bradys train?
Both?
Nothing to worry about?
**** it.

So, on a ratio of one to Goatse, how disgusted are you feeling this morning?Disgusting
25 may become 30 but we’ll still have the 25th best AVAILABLE talent to pick. How don’t people understand this still lol.Nope, not outside the top few. Forgive me for taking the super-draft thing with a grain of salt. It's trotted out most years, so at a certain point I stop biting. Anyway, 25 becomes 30 or thereabouts after all the usual shenanigans
Out of the two I'd be more inclined to believe Tom Morris, he and Cal Twomey are the golden boys for the AFL they feed them all the ITK stuff.Gee, that reads a lot different to the Tom Morris tweet doesn't it...

Apologies hilly completely missed that.That was the joke.

Sure. But if all our posturing over the draft being compromised is worth anything at all, then surely having pick 25 and having to accommodate for other teams to swoop in and pick up their locked-in players is automatically less than ideal. Theoretically there could be eleven blokes in the top twenty tied to certain teams, and that would make the best 'available' talent look a bit sad, in comparison. Plus, it's all a dart-throwing exercise anyway. Maybe we'll pick someone good, maybe we won't. Right now, I don't think we have a shortage of young talent and do think we have a shortage of senior quality, and don't think that the next Sheezel, or young lynchpin, will be likely at all to be picked by us at pick 31 or whatever, but maybe that's just me25 may become 30 but we’ll still have the 25th best AVAILABLE talent to pick.

Gun key forwards and gun midfield beasts win grand finals. Small fwds and half back flankers get you into finals and then they get exposed when shit gets real.
Exhibit A hawthorn
Exhibit B Sydney
Exhibit C Port Tarpelaide
Diluting pick 2 and / or what will be pick 3-6 with 4-8 wins if ole mate Housten is racking up 30 on a back flank in 2025 is delusional short term Rubbish
Pick 2 is a generational club changing pick
Kelly
Petracca
Schache
Taranto
Bradshaw
Lukosius
Anderson
Tilthorpe
Darcy
Ashcroft
McKercher
Houston ain't at that level.
Norths Future First for Gold Coasts 13! That is crazy if true.View attachment 2140572![]()
In what shouldnt be a surprise or an individual response, I don't understand what we are trying to do and I am sickened by itSo, on a ratio of one to Goatse, how disgusted are you feeling this morning?
Was the “AVAILABLE” in all capitals not clear enough?You're not getting a chance to pick the 25th best player in the pool, you're only getting the 25h best in the available pool. So the pick itself is devalued, even if the group of players available to you doesn't change.
Eg - pick 1 wouldn't be as valuable if the best five players in the draft were all father sons.
If we aren't planning to us 25 in a really deep draft we are dumber than I think we are.I don't think we're planning on using 25. Bringing the F1 forward and splitting 2. Three picks inside 20 or two plus Houston.
River late pick or another project player.
