Joel Perry

With Thornton all but gone I think we should make a play for this guy. He has had limited opportunities with North and I would like him to be apart of our defence next year and beyond. I would like to have him and Polak at the club next year. Plus, if the Polak experiment doesn't work we can have Perry to back him up. Both of them recruited to the club, plus the Draft will really add depth to our playing list. Plus, there is always the other optio of getting Demon defender Ryan Ferguson who is also quite similar to Perry. Both are big KPP at 195 cm tall but a full uninterupted pre-season in the gym and they would be ready for the big time.
The only other question that needs to be answered is what could we offer to their respective clubs????

Thoughts????

2nd round pick for perry-key position player, can get a good pick out of you because you need a key pos player

Would pick 33 (if we get it) be sufficient for Perry?

I am reluctant to give that, and anything more than that is off the table IMO. We will not trade our early picks for him.

Our board has stated time and time again that we WILL NOT trade any of our 1st and 2nd round picks this year. We need to start rebuilding with kids, not taking on other clubs kids.

I see your point but this kid can seriously play and lacks opportunitity at North Melbourne.

Sounds like you would be willing to give whatever you got for Russell.........
