North in 96 had a very workmanlike midfield. Schwass, Rock, Freeborn, Stevens, Simpson. Not bad players by any means but not the top of the line players. Great bookends though and pretty much no passengers in that team.

Easy to do when you know you have priority access to bunch of academy kids anyway. I mean give us a spell

To be honest not gonna complain about Collingwood or Geelong mortgaging their future for one more flag just before Tassie comes in. Pies would come out of it better than the Cats though.

Be like watching the Gretsky brothers in action on the rink.

I'd definitely say Heeney. But same dif...

I agree with the sentiment, but I’d still rather push a Oscar back than be forced to play the likes of Aiden Corr there ala North if we have no one else, and have a plethora of capable forwards.

If swapping pick 4 or 5 nets us a KPD with 9 (who is worth that pick) and a decent mid with 10 we will hopefully do it in a heartbeat. A lot will depend on how the year plays out for the potential draftees.

I'd imagine a lot of that has to do with them offering an extra year?

Sorry to intrude. Yeo is very wealthy. Comes from a wealthy family and has made shrewd business decisions. I think it would be more the years than $, but there would also be a bit of 'respect' in terms of being offered a fair figure. I'd be very surprised if the $ offered by a rival interest...

Sounds like a 19 year old alright. I doubt he is too unhappy just hanging with his mates as a teenager.
