Who is North’s back six?
Turner (25) Mckay (23) Ziebell (30)
Hall (31) Corr (27) McDonald (26)
Short term or untried players
Walker - solid key defender but not long termer
Bonar - whilst playing some ok footy down back he just constantly gets injured
Flynn Perez - done 2 knees by his second season. Looked great in his few games last year and will get every chance to replace hall.
Pat walker, McGuinness, Hayden are all speculative rookies and probably wont make it.
So there’s not much there and clearly our weakest area of the ground, particularly with young players. The good news is that we have 3 guys aged around 26 that have 4-5 years of their best footy ahead of them. Plus Mckay who is the biggest piece of the puzzle.
You’d imagine a lot of our future draft capital will be spent in this area of the ground.
I would swap Bonar for Turner, but other than that this is our back 6 for mine.
Walker can be our third tall if we need one.
Big wraps on Perez, but will be against it after doing two ACL’s.
The rest are hopefuls at this stage.
