My understanding is that Langford didn’t interview well with us. Made VERY clear that he is a fanatical Tigers man and apparently always will be. That aside, if we are stuck with pick 2 and we opt for a mid, he would be well behind FOS, Draper, Smith and Smiley. All would suit us better than...

Gary Rohan. Seriously? I thought this was just a joke. But it’s an actual thing? Like he’s doing/done a medical at North? This is nightmarish. This list management is like going for a ride with a really drunk driver who just keeps driving faster every time you ask him to slow down.

Ok. I know in my heart there will come a time when I don’t weep uncontrollably after a North win but I’m not there yet. A few observations: 1. The total-lack-of-defensive-pressure has been turned around in the last month. It’s improved game to game and was very evident for the first 3 quarters...

Is this thread done?

I’ve been reading your posts for a few weeks and I've just read your latest effort It’s needlessly provocative and adversarial You taunt like a kindergartener I reckon your a troublemaker buddy and if I was a mod you wouldn’t be here.

It’s quite bizarre how the media continues to push this kind of ridiculous trade talk when Brady has already hosed it off publicly. It’s born of a media landscape devoid of any real news. They trot out the “North might trade all their picks for Reid” story every two seconds. It has no basis in...

He’s not referring to McKay. He can only be referring to Jack Ziebell. Easily the most hated man at North in decades. Not by supporters, mind you. They mostly revere Jack for his hardness and courage But for team mates and coaches, he is absolutely despised.

My maths aren’t great but this looks like 14,19 & 2 for 1 So we burn 2 top 20 picks to move up one spot This is completely insane. Let’s be realistic Reid needs to be the new Wayne Carey for this to make any sense 3 first round picks for one player. He ain’t a KPF as some have suggested. He is...

Quite right. They say this every year. So many generational players. And here I was, thinking that a generational player only pops up once in a generation.

So 4 1st rounders becomes 2. This is simply idiotic. No player can be worth such a cost. Especially a mid without pace or a huge tank(which I would have thought are non-negotiables for a top 5 mid in 2023) McKercher offers both those attributes and a deadly left foot. Watson is a small...

I’d also include Wardlaw here. An uninterrupted run for warlord would have a much more profound effect on our games than many understand. He is a game breaker in-waiting.

So no Clark. Bugger. I guess Chom will need to hang out with someone else in rehab next year. Ok. Moved on already Wasn’t hard

We don’t need Reid or Sanders. Or any player that involves decreasing a draft hand we worked hard to increase. I don’t know why we don’t just take picks 2, 3 & 16 to the draft.( it looks pretty clear we will get band one for McKay) If the weagles want Curtin instead of Reid, we shouldn’t have...

It’s actually from a movie called Jerimiah Johnson. Good film too Looking back it had a great name for a porno.

This is true Drafting for talent and recruiting for position only works if you actually recruit. Which we struggle to Sure, we got Corr and Logie and they are serviceable players But Barrass and Himmelburg they ain’t. It might be we can’t recruit stars or even just established guns until we...

Totally agree. I’m very confident that he’ll be the best player to come out of this draft and that will be very evident next year. Not drafting him would be insane The most successful teams in the last 10 years have all adopted the Swans system of drafting for talent and recruiting for...

I can’t tell you why, but I have been convinced that Watson will be an historically powerful player since I saw him playing in last years Nat champs. I know he is only 170cm and I don’t care. His pace and workrate are elite. His skills are freakish. He will be influencing games from the get go...

I was told by someone(whose club info has been reliable in the past) that North have no intention of taking Curtin No WA kid will be taken by North in the first round this year or any year. Apparently WA kids are seen by Brady & co as flight risks It’s the primary reason they didn’t draft Logan...

The Eagles beating the dogs makes things interesting

Our own Mr Ziebell got 40 touches as a 19 year old. Pretty sure it was a record at the time. I remember that 40 included 20 contested possessions. It might have been against the Doggies.

It's a pity we didn't spot the Bo Callaghan vibes that JHF wouldve been putting out this time last year. I wonder how many of JHF's Port teammates end up going to his 21st

Great idea. But GWS would fold within 3 years. It's a sacrifice I'd be prepared to make.

Please go ahead
