is lynch being out currently a good thing? it might be forcing us to actually find targets and the forwards to present more.
based on last night game, that was obviously the best our forward half has functioned with bloody kosi as a centre piece as no one was bombing it to him expecting a miracle pack mark.
Lynch in he gets #1 Def.
 
Feel free to bookmark but their strategy will still pay off in the next few years. North will turn soon up the ladder, just hopefully not this year.
Yes agree. You can’t have that money top 10 picks and not become competitive. It’s whether you only get to Carlton level and never contend or to Melbourne level. Both those teams were terrible and people questioned if they would even play finals and then it turned.
 
Im not only talking about the weekend, he seems to be playing a bit different in recent times even in our losses. obviously don't notice as much when we get pumped but is using the handball in the midfield better then going forward a bit more because for some reason he's a good kick on goal and a decent mark

With our senior boys I think they run around at 80-90% effort. They know we suck, so human nature is the coast.

Compare most of Vlas/hopper/prestia/tt/broad games this year to the games against gws (vs old club) and gc (vs dimma) where they all found another level of performance because it meant something.
 
Taranto now into the top 20 for coaches votes

10 Tim Taranto RICH
8 Jacob Hopper RICH
5 Nick Vlastuin RICH
3 Harley Reid WCE
2 Jack Ross RICH
1 Toby Nankervis RICH
1 Rhyan Mansell RICH

Both coaches agreed on the top 2. Assume Mini gave Harley 3 (Yze 0), and Yze gave Ross 2 (Reid 0).

Imagine just how bad we'd be without Taranto and Hopper. Yes things havent gone to plan since we recruited them but I sure am glad we have them now.

It's also not just coasting. You simply can't play at your best if you don't have the players around you. How can you run and break lines if there's no one to give it off to? How can you break out of the midfield to stream forward if all you see is defenders waiting to intercept you?

They are on a road to nowhere. Adelaide drafted a lot of good talls who took longer to come on, but they’ve flown past. North have drafted midfielders and still have some huge list holes.

Looking at the 2022 draft that Taranto trade definitely doesn't look to be hindering our rebuild, only player that stood out to me was Josh Weddle and it's not like we're struggling for 3rd talls/half back flankers. Giants used one of those picks in the JHF trade and got Aaron Cadman out of it which we couldn't have done anyway.
Hopper trade less so, given Nate Caddy and Logan Morris (who went in the second round) were available at our first round pick in 2023 (that the Giants traded to the Crows), but given we now have Armstrong, Faull and Sims we've potentially not lost out there either anyway.
And all that is without mentioning how helpful it is to the team having the two of them in the midfield leading the way.

North have built their list around midfielders rather than balance. North need another KPF. If they find a good one in the draft, he will take three years to develop. They only picked up Sharmon last year. They also need a KPD. They could trade for a KPD but North is not a destination club so they will probably have to go to the draft. Again, it's probably three years of development. So, for the next few years North will not have a list that is capable of a sustained move up the ladder IMO.

Imagine how bad we would have gone without Lynch? Oh, that's right he didn't play and Faul stepped up. What would have happened if we didn't have Prestia in the midfield to curb the influence of Harley Reid? Oh, that's right we did have Prestia in there and Reid was beating Taranto, Hopper and Prestia, it was Ross that reduced Ried's influence. In reality. we are in development phase and last weekend showed that the more we expose the kids the faster they develop. Its good to have the top three players on that list but I would prefer that the kids were showing their development by getting the votes. Also, I actually though Nank was beaten on the day. He also spent a fair amount of time off the ground, I was wondering if he is carrying an injury.

The Pies have Moore, Maynard and Howe as their key defenders. We’ll need Balta to take Moore, Kozzie to take one of the others. Pies defence is big and strong. They’ll monster the kids.
If we can keep it to under 50 points i’ll think we have done well.
Balta to def go forward, not sure we need kozi too , he didn’t do much

I think the smart money was advocating for TT and hop 12m ago knowing we would be Barron in their absence

Lol. You looked at that and game and came to that conclusion.

What it showed was that our veterans were the difference. They laid the structure for the kids to play smaller roles and show their talent.
