    Strategy 2025 Flex Spot Discussion & Strategy

    As long as it's a decent reliable scorer it does not matter. The big benefit is dropping the 22nd best scorer. It's better than any loop. Bont would be fine he is reliable. There is no disadvantage playing a great player there. But if you play a rookie and they score 20 you probably won't...

    Strategy 2025 Flex Spot Discussion & Strategy

    The 31st player will probably be a rookie I agree. But it's best to look at that as separate thing from the decision we need to make on who goes into flex. Flex on its own does not effect cash gen whatsoever. Flex is all about maximising points.

    Strategy 2025 Flex Spot Discussion & Strategy

    Ok so let's assume we have 5 rookies on field. We can loop a few of them to begin with and get a second look. Or we can play one flex and hope they score more than our 22nd best. Other option is to play 6 rookies on field and guarantee your 22nd best drops out with a decent flex. You don't get...

    Best guess. Oliver and Coleman the weakest link. I might turn them into a d3

    I'm taking 3 rucks one as flex not set on who yet. Being able to play 2 set and forget and someone like Flynn as well has some attraction. Flynn being too expensive for the bench is no longer a factor

    Nope it replaces your worst score from your 22 Best not think of it like a normal loop. You want a quality player there to replace your worst score It would be a bit crap to have a 40 replace a 25

    List Mgmt. Best side for start of 2025

    We are finally on the mend. I expect a big jump in wins. Top 8 is a chance. I love draft picks they have been good to us. But I agree with the team experience is the most important thing. I can't wait for round 1

    Don't do a rookie. Say you have 7 on field and you play a rookie your flex ends up sub your stuffed. If you put a premo in you are guaranteed to remove your lowest score and add a good one.

    At first thought. Gawn x and tdk If I can find a playing f/r Should make captain choice easier. One of those 3 should have a spud ruck each week.

    Forwards seem easy and pretty cheap so taking a top priced guy or 2 maybe easy. Defence I'm struggling with the most. After sheezal not many auto picks

    Discussion 2025 Pre-Season Planning Discussion

    Good question. I don't have the answer. Pros he improved through the year and went big in the back half. Cons Unsustainable tackle numbers and high frees against. I'm taking him but I could be convinced either way.

    Kerch mid. Fos hbf Fisher wing or small forward All guesswork though nothing much from the club yet. Kerch is training with the mids. Daniel is training hbf.

    Player Watch #14: Luke 'Gav' Urquhart - selected with Pick 57 in the ND - Welcome to North Melbourne

    Not super surprising. I've never seen a year with so many variations in rankings.

    Position 2025 Rookies

    Yep just a watch for now like everyone is. Low possessions was only last year with injury interruptions. His under-age year was good numbers. Wait and see. I'm not really planning on taking any of the high priced guys. Wait and see.

    Position 2025 Rookies

    Bit of both. Kerch is flying and will get mid time. Fish would be an upgrade on our small forwards. Club hasn't said anything yet but it feels pretty likely. Clarko has had a bit of success the last few years with this move. Educated guess.

    Position 2025 Rookies

    Depends on role. Draper the most ready. Fos probably the best role

    Position 2025 Midfielders

    They have tried him forward before. It's just with like 5 or 6 guys expected to improve they will have to get the points from somewhere. It's really common when teams turn from shit to moderately decent the 110 average mids drop back a bit. I reckon he's a dangerous pick.
  20. buttox

    Position 2025 Midfielders

    Mid at a guess Fos and Daniel hbf, Fisher small forward but guesswork at this stage.
  21. buttox

    Position 2025 Midfielders

    Further to my previous post. North mids likely to improve include Sheez, wardlaw, Powell, simpkin, Parker, kerch. All could take points from ldu. Way too many variables. Wait for preseason games.
  22. buttox

    Position 2025 Midfielders

    My major worry is that he got lots of points the last 5years as we have been shit. I expect improvement this year which means he shares more points. Wait for preseason and check his role.
  23. buttox

    Position 2025 Defenders

    I think you are misunderstanding. Sheez is a lock. But he's a defender only as far as our starting team goes. The dpp might happen but it's definitely not a certainty. 1/4 of the year will be over before he gets it and he already has defence which is better than mid.
  24. buttox

    Position 2025 Defenders

    For sure but he won't get it until r6 at the earliest. That misses a bunch of byes.
  25. buttox

    Position 2025 Midfielders

    Our mids will be in a state of flux with Parker coming in and kerch likely to get more mid time. Watch list at best mate.

    Position 2025 Defenders

    Yep probably. But d/m is pretty rare. It's not super valuable because of this. M/f would be better. It's useful but not really a deal breaker if they haven't even got it yet.

    Position 2025 Defenders

    He will stay in defence all year for me. Mid dpp only really useful for trades
