Like the krakouer brothersImagine the forward chemistry twins are telepathic
As the winner of this years Fothergill-Round-Mitchell medal for most promising young VFL talent, 21 year old Sam Davidson is an inheritor of a strong tradition with the last 17 winners going on to make it onto an AFL list. An outside leaning flanker or winger, Davidson is a powerful runner, solid overhead mark and an excellent competitor on the field, a mix of traits that should prove attractive enough for him to get picked up in the upcoming national draft.
Any reason for this?Generally I'm against picking up delisted players in the list spot we’re currently in but I wouldn’t be against Culley as a rookie selection subject to a sound medical. Need to probably sign a mature ruckman as well.
I’m torn. I want Lalor at 1 because I think he can compliment our other draftee more.
If we get 2 without giving up too much then fos and Lalor seems a good option. But Langford or Smillie with Lalor at 6 works for me as well.
I see Lalor as more unique than the others so easier to get a pairing with. If he plays 75% forward/ 25% midfield then whoever else we pick switches with him it’d be a damaging combo.
Hotton crumbing. Pick up a KPF later (key forwards are more miss than hit I feel) and Geryn late seems a must. He’ll be getting experience until Nank is coming to an end
I don’t know who the fast winger/back flanks are but we need a couple of them too. I think our backs are ok if gibcus can stay on the park with balta
wouldve had bennell too if dusty didnt call him a loose campaignerThat’s because we stole the suns good first round drafted players and won the flag with them

Can’t wait for Tassie to enter the comp so we can go on a pillage run againwouldve had bennell too if dusty didnt call him a loose campaigner
You made us fight for it. North will be hurting, missing out on the spoon two years in a row. I’m sure your players will be not training hard over the summer, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to find 1% less.It’s not a “barb”
You’ve traded out 1/3 of your best 22, which was already a spoon winning team.
You’re winning the spoon next year.
Is that controversial?
If that's what we trade them then we've got to take a tall at 10/11.Yeah I'm not trading for their F1. I reckon GWS is their best shot.
6 and 18 is not bad for them. Tauru and a Whitlock.
So?If that's what we trade them then we've got to take a tall at 10/11.
Talls are rated around:
Tauru 5-10
Armstrong 5-13
Trainor 8-16
Shanahan 12-20
Whitlock x2 16-24
Faull 18-26
Dodson 18-26
Gerryn 20-28
Sims 22-30
So not taking a tall with 1,2,10,11 leaves us likely only choosing from Shanahan, a Whitlock, Faull, Dodson, Gerryn, Sims.
I just want to see some more campaigner in him. No more timid midfielders, especially one of his size.Yep. I’m sold on keeping 1 and 6. Didn’t realise how good Smilie was. I understand this is a highlights package, but seems a fantastic kick, good ball handling, sharp hands and obviously strength.
Back the recruiters in to get the Lalor/FOS choice at one right and pair them with any of Smilie / Langford / Jagga and we’re golden IMO. A mix of Lindsay / Reid / Hotton with 10 & 11 and that’s our midfield rebuild kickstarted nicely. Reckon all of those names would be capable to play senior footy in 2025 too
Entirely depends on if we end up with 2, imo.Don't think he's going top 4 so wouldn't say no chance.
I feel like Essington are known shit.Trade it to Essington for Melbourne's F1 and it's a top-6 pick.
you don't have much leverage now. I think we will stick fat on 6 + 18 or we will watch you blow 2 on Tauru and we'll take what drops through to 6......Can only see north doing that for 6/10/11
If you can watch the last quarter of national championship final. There’s a reason why Smillie was the most influential kid on the ground in the last quarter and was in the guts at every stoppage in the last 10 mins. He was also carrying a niggling injury for the whole champs which slowed his 4 quarter production.Is it just me but I don’t see the hype around Smillie.
From some of the highlights I’ve seen of him he’s only good by foot with the basic hit ups to uncontested players in space.
Whenever there was heat there was a few turnovers or wobblers out to space that missed targets by a good 10m +.
Edit: he does seem excellent with hand balling in traffic
He won’t be afforded as much space at AFL level so that does appear to be a concern from what I could see.
Happy to take on board those who’ve watched far more U18s footy this year and clarify.
Tell me about it.You made us fight for it. North will be hurting, missing out on the spoon two years in a row. I’m sure your players will be not training hard over the summer, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to find 1% less.
Still don't think he goes top 4. He probably would have if not for Matty Clarke crapping the bed.Entirely depends on if we end up with 2, imo.
