It will be a case of other clubs trying to pry him away from us. I believe Bailey has always had north firmly in his sights.

Believe? Based on a hunch or something more? Liked what ive seen of him, fits our needs too.

IMO- I believe in your belief

First time I have watched a Thomas game live and saw "it" with him. Has plenty to work on but had a great second half on Saturday.

Bailey Scott had a very strong first half and was impressive.

A fella I know in talent I.D believes his had north in his sights for a long time.

Obviously things change but I’m very confident Scott will end up at north

TT definitely turned it on in the second half.

T.Thomas, Bailey Scott and a top 10 draft pick is my bare minimum expectation for draft season. If we exceed that I'll be very happy, but that's just me tempering expectations a little.

I hope somehow we get creative and get
Some more picks inside the top 30. We really need to hit this draft hard.

I said the same thing last year. If we had of got a couple more picks inside 30. We could’ve added a couple of guys like Constable, Kelly, Spargo, H.Brayshaw or Joel Garner. All those mentioned would’ve played a considerable amount of game time this year.

My memory's a bit shoddy but we traded a few draft picks last year in favor of this year with the highest being Round 2 I believe. Looking at how Freo did it last year, that's how I hope it'll be with some smart trades netting us higher picks. As much as it might hurt, we can afford to trade out someone like Atley and Goldstein.

We're lucky to have F/S's and a top tier Academy player this year otherwise I'd be scratching my head as to how we get more than 2 top 30 picks.

We swapped our third rounder this year for west coast and st kildas third rounder this year.

I kinda want us to try and move up our second pick to before Thomas/Scott territory. So maybe something like

Pick 3

Pick 12

Thomas matches bids

Scott matched bids

Maybe Crocker if possible

Might take some creativity but I'm sure it's possible

Yeah ditto. I had honestly been a bit meh on the video highlights I'd seen. Live and in the context of a whole game he looked really good.

 

[MaddAdam]

Give our run of games after this week, I'm very confident we'll getting a top five pick, probably top three.

 

[Jesslc]

Look forward to checking him out live with the North VFL soon.

 

[King Corey]

Look forward to checking him out live with the North VFL soon.

He'll either blitz it and burn our top pick or average sub 5 possessions leading to self-assured calls of "the club clearly has him laying low".

Joel would also come in handy for a friendly game of cricket.

Tarryn Thomas impressed with his ability to play on the inside and outside, finishing with 14 disposals (10 contested possessions), three tackles and two goals.

Does Baker's Anglo-Saxon heritage qualify him for any kind of NGA eligibility?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Does Baker's Anglo-Saxon heritage qualify him for any kind of NGA eligibility?

Only if in Swans or Geelong zones.

Only in Sydney

Gotta mate who reckons he is this bloke reincarnated.... just watch the first goal on this vid (1992 goal of the year)

 

[shinboner magic]

TT should be tanking. Get Scotts to talk to him Pronto. :stern look

Talking his sports science crap will do his head in

 

[Pykie]

I'll be interested to see how he goes for the Allies and Tasmania.

I want to see a few 25+ touch games in the champs, even off half forward or half back.


We can't afford to spend big on another high impact 15 possession type.

McDonald to an extent, Garner, Atley, Wood and even Simpkin (I think he will buck the others trend) at the moment are great, but you can't build a side around them, they are the cream and even then, they are a liability some of the time as 15-20 touches a game usually indicates inconsistency.

Some of our busts that looked decent have suffered from a fair bit of the same problems; Harper, McKenzie, Urquhart, Riggio etc just couldn't get their hands on the ball, as well as quite a few other deficiencies.

There's not many top 100 players in the competition apart from key forwards that average 15-20 touches a game.

The few like Rioli etc are even jeered at most of the time for being overrated because of it.


We need high possession winners.

He doesn't seem an accumulator at all to me

I’d go as far as getting a ball pig even with iffy skills- just need to get the ball in our hands more often

You don't think he'd be the best player available with our 2nd pick?

Because effectively that's what he will be this draft. Our 2nd pick
