You haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary.Look mate, do you know how I stated earlier that there's only about 10 people on the draft board who are worth reading?
Well, unfortunately, you're not one of them.
You're just flat out wrong.
How different is he from Jack Mahony?
Now you’re having comprehension problems.Wrong again.
We won't be taking McDonald at pick 2.
Do you want to bet your account on it?
You realise that Andrews is only a year older? I don't want someone that approaches Andrews I want someone that will be the best. McKay looks like he'll actually play AFL but he's never going to be one of the best defenders in the competition.I'd like you to tell me a better younger KPD that approaches Andrews style as a defender. Weitering perhaps? Then who?
I repeat, We. Already. Have. One.

Anyway, something I mentioned on the draft board that relates to North.
Basically my view is, if McDonald is there at your first pick, draft him.
Phillips is not that far ahead of the likes of O’Driscoll, Bruhn, Macrae and Trew.
And with Hollands injury, we don’t know how it will affect his game yet. And there are a few similar players that will also be available around your “Melbourne” pick in, Perkins, Ford and Carroll.
And there’s also the possibility of one of Davis, Berry or Maher being on board at your second round pick.
Better athlete for a start.How different is he from Jack Mahony?
briztoon your services are not needed here. I already read the draft board I don't need someone else who reads it to tell me what they're saying.Better athlete for a start.
If Crows take Hollands, I think it is quite conceivable that we take McDonald.... I know you aren’t on board with this, but I believe North are serious about moving Brown on.Wrong again.

Yeah we will.We won't be taking McDonald at pick 2.
I think this is a correct read of the tea leaves. Hope it's not a disaster for us. Don't really see why we're doing it unless we're getting well compensated.If Crows take Hollands, I think it is quite conceivable that we take McDonald....

Wouldn't mind us having a crack at our own Harris Andrews one bit.
Yeah we will.
We'll take him over a guy that's done an ACL if we had the choice.
You haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary.
So far it’s been your opinion versus my opinion.
Now you’re having comprehension problems.

Brown will be seeking 4-5 years on big money. I don’t think it fits our list profile, our age demographic, or the build process to sign him to that deal. A bit of pain the next two years might be the result, but building a well structured team at the right age profile is (could be) worth the that pain.I think this is a correct read of the tea leaves.

I want someone who can on the field and statistically recreate what Andrews does for the Lions. Ben McKay does not do that as shown by your own statistics. He gets 66% of the one percenters, less than half as many rebounds, 40% as many contested marks and also falls over a lot. He's nothing like him.Yeah, and?
Say what?

It's not like we're full of guys who demand big money though. We'd have plenty of room in the kitty. If it's just to get his contract off the books I'm not convinced it's worth what it could do to us on and off field.Brown will be seeming 4-5 years on big money.

Not now we are not... correct.It's not like we're full of guys who demand big money though. We'd have plenty of room in the kitty. If it's just to get his contract off the books I'm not convinced it's worth what it could do to us on and off field.
Yeah, I get that. But the risk is that we lose more players after how we pushed out Brown and or make it to 2022 with Western Bulldogsesque key forward stocks. Could badly blow up in our faces and I think it's a bit too cute for where the club is at currently.Not now we are not... correct.
But... hear me out here.
We take 3 (or 4) first rounders this year.
2 more next year.
And hit FA hard in 2021-2022.
Add the cream to the list build with the money we saved on Brown.
All I'm saying is that we could look at another athletic defender for Ben McKay to play second fiddle to in future.He's played 14 games of football, the other bloke has played 111!
Experience wise, he's tracking more than well.
