I reckon North would be better off trading JZ to GC for a couple of their second round picks. Trade 22 for Tyson, go to the draft with the others and draft modern footballers.
The game has gone past JZ unfortunately, always liked him.
Will Melbourne regret giving away so many first round picks?

I'm not fully convinced by Melbourne's trading but the reality is we've got Hogan, Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Lever, Weideman etc. If it all goes wrong the issue isn't lack of first round picks spend on first round talents.
The concern is the depth of the rebuild particularly in outside runners and maybe being short at least one classy small-mid forward.
That said, we've traded out of the 2nd round lately for various reasons - improving top end talent, mature players, doing a 3 for 1 deal for extra players, and now we might end up with 3 picks in the 2nd round this year and that's about the range to take some swings at finding running players.

Id be more worried about your mob spending picks and bulk cash on KNOWN flakes like motlop,watts and rockliff

I dont think so as the second poster said theyve cooked that many early picks its not funny so theyve gone a mix of picking talent and in recent times recruiting it. Levers a good pick up but they are paying through the nose both money wise and picks but theyre taking a risk and going for broke. Personally i think theyll be very competitive next year and who knows if the dogs and tiges can win it perhaps the dees and saints are next?

Demons have the best young core in the game imo. So no, no they wont. Theyll play free agency from here on end and push for the flag.

Strange comparison. Not even slightly similar
I reckon melbs will be around 4-6 ish this year - watch them all crying about not having a first rounder.

Yeah I could see us finishing 4-6 while WC are in the bottom 4.
Id say top half of the bottom 8 - anywhere from about 7-12 is where i see us realistically.
A lot depends on our rucks getting back up - namely lycett - not expecting too much from nn.

I think so, whilst I rate Melbourne and think they're a great side I also think lever isn't the missing key to the puzzle. Two firsts huge overs.
