should exchange him for a player or player and pick combo from the pies.
One of Ben Kennedy, Jamie Elliott or Nathan Brown
I'll say it every time it comes up. Hell will freeze over before the Pies trade Jamie Elliott. He singlehandedly held their forward line together for most of this year and is on the rise.
Nathan Brown barely played last year and has had injury troubles for several years. I don't think that would work for North.
Ben Kennedy is an interesting one. High draft pick but is always on the edge of the senior side, and they are over quota on short-arsed midfielders who can also sneak goals.
I'm just not sure that politically they will be keen to lose any more players in whom they have any investment. Too much has walked or been pushed out, which is why they want to start building with what they have and Levi. I'd expect either a pick for Levi, or some kind of deal involving another club.
Please, no-one say Merrett again.
