Years ago North put together an extensive group of inside kids that hit the hard the contest hard - we called it the meat grinder.
It turned out that having too much of the same type in the midfield - slowish contested types - wasn’t the right mix to win a premiership.
Last year we smashed a few teams on the back of ferocious attack on the footy and the man. It looks like V2 of the Meat Grinder Strategy. Rather than fill the inside mid role with these types, we bring this type of player for all roles across each section of the ground. Blokes who will pummel the opposition.
With all the delisting that have gone on this year, I don’t think we’ve lost any of the players I would describe as aggressive or hard hitting. I reckon this should be the core and the theme we build on at North.
We need to bring in I think 9 players if Higgins and Brown leave.
Your challenge is to use this draft and trade to bolster our hard arse count.
Who do we get to build the new and improved meat grinder V2?
