Funny thing is, there is a very good chance that North winning certain matches in 2026 will be in our best interest.I just think it’s great that this thread is still going

I hope we don't rush our pick, just so all the North supporters can look at the available talent on the board and have a little cry.So who would Norf take if they had pick 4? CDT, Robey, Taylor, geez they’d all be good options for them.
They'd offer it to whoever drafted Whitlock last year.So who would Norf take if they had pick 4?
We should trade back to 7 and 8 and then offer north pick 8 for their 26 F1.They'd offer it to whoever drafted Whitlock last year.
I would just take #7 + Melb F1We should trade back to 7 and 8 and then offer north pick 8 for their 26 F1.
North gave 25 + 46 + 2026 F2 for pick 11 + 54I’ve lost track of the draft maths but did norf actually gain anything back from that Carlton trade? The deathride equation won’t simply be grlj vs Whitlock and dovaston
They also gave up pick 25 with F2 for Dovaston, pick 25 was Adam SweidI think the comparison can only be made by looking what each club gave up and who they would have chosen.
North last year ponied up their early second which would have secured Whitlock for Caleb Daniel. If they didn’t trade for Caleb I don’t think we’d have had the trade.
They got…
Caleb Daniel, Thredgold, Whitlock and Dovaston and given away a F2.
Not trading would have netted them…
X Taylor (you’d assume this would have been their pick this year), Whitlock and Dovaston and given away an F2.
I like the latter option but it’s not terrible if Thredgold makes it.
For us we were all over Alger. Assuming we still would have picked Sims, we would have gone picked Jasper with that next pick.
So our eventual result looked like…
Alger, Grjl and traded a 25F4 (unused) to GC.
But could have looked like….
Alger, Sam Allen (probably the pick that was left), 25 4th rounder (which we probably wouldn’t have used).
I think the result for North was ok but not optimal, and for us was outstanding.
