Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

[DunderHead]

I don’t want to alarm anyone but I am 99.9% certain that this didn’t happen.

I tried but, unfortunately, I’m alarmed.

 

[The Lone Latic]

Well at least I know to have 0 hope if actually getting the assistance we need. It's the hope that kills you. Expect the worst and if something decent happens take it as a win. Rubbish mentality though

 

[The acurate one]

I purposely haven’t posted here so far but I’ve been at some local football over the last 2 weekends and ran into 2 guys I know well who are in recruiting in the VFL after previously being in the AFL system. Take this for what it’s worth but this is what they are hearing around the traps -

1. Eagles still very very keen on Curtin at pick 1 - North still well in the frame to get Reid even with pick 2.
2. McKay gone to Sydney for pick 3 compo.
3. North will get Sanders as a pre list.
4. North really keen on Duursma if they get Reid at 2. However may take a tall or wait to the Port pick for a tall. Tall might be Sullivan from the Bushrangers if he’s still available.

That’s all I have for now but will be interesting times especially if we need to trade for guys like Stephens and possibly Melican from Sydney so we don’t dilute the McKay compo pick.

So you’ve been reading this thread before posting. Come on man FFS

Carey is gay and rejects Kelly's offer.

Ross Glendenning does not start the '78 G.F. on Moncreiff.

Kingy kicks that goal at the end of the 1st q.v * in 2001. We win by 5 points.

Icke doesn’t miss the 78 GF to a hamstring. Still kicked five in the Magoo that day. Didn’t leave the goal square.

Well Sanders has said he wants to play for us and McKercher sounds like he can't wait to get out of there! I don't think either of them would be an issue with holding on to if they came to us.

If you were in their shoes and you had the intention of going back, what would you say in media interviews?

 

[Mordecai]

north should have made it public, showing that we are clrealt worse of than Gold Coast was (here’s the evidence), the afl want an even comp (here are the quotes), last years assistance was like Gold Coasts first assistance (here’s gills quotes).

Need to be aggressive for once

I would be amazed if this isn't what we did. What's our recourse after this though?

[domiroo]

What changed? AFL decision or sanders decision?

It’s probably just the media as useless as they are and negative towards anyone or anything North Melbourne.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Let's just say nothing was shot down but only because it has only ever gotten to the stage of a proposal. The difference is though where the media was saying it was possible they are now saying it is unlikely. From our angle we should just expect nothing so as not to be disappointed.

If they don't give us anything half decent I'd just tell them to shove it up there arse and go **** themselves. We'll do it on our own.

Are you saying that opposition clubs don’t use large amounts of administrative opportunity writing letters to AFL house about things speculated in afternoon radio slots?

 

[shinboner magic]

round and round we go!

I’m dizzy

 

[The Dingrel]

Looks like we won’t be getting sanders . That’s the goss

fk it, take Mckercher at 2 and Sanders at 3......best KPD with Ports pick, and use the rest and whatever crumbs the afl throws our way on trades and list needs.

They're probably the 2 most likely after (including?) Reid and Walters, so why not?

Of course u say that
And likely say things differently when TAS come in
Just our luck that top part of draft has 2 TAS on eve of entry to AFL and 1 WA kid
We are jinxed

Something about meeting triumph and disaster and treating them the same cos they're imposters...

Only if WC take Reid with pick 1. If they trade it then take Curtin and McKersher.

Clarkson threatening to bid on Walter Read and Rodgers at pick 2 - get a dog up you AFL

“Guesstimate”. Yawn.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

The real joke will be when WC get pick 1 as a priority pick next year

Trade out of the ‘24 draft. It won’t matter so much when WC inevitably get looked after.

 

[King Corey]

“Guesstimate”. Yawn.

"Awarded".

Like awarding a victim of crime a free happy meal upgrade.

For those of us without a HS subscription what’s the article say?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Don't mind us firing a few shots back at AFL house. Can't just keep copping it lying down. Give us pick 4 Gold Coast or we'll **** your draft this year and next.
