Carlton will offer more than their initial offer. You refused to give up pick 8 on Saad until you did. Carlton love shiny new toys to cover up their drafting inadequacies.

I’m not suggesting we are. I just find a comment that we will ‘never’ be Brisbane after what they were 8-10 years ago staggering. I mean why are you even here, if you have no hope?

I’m not advocating we go after him this year, but we do run the risk of competing with a bunch of other clubs next year. We also get a type we desperately need a year earlier and can help us improve.
Much rather give up a F1 for Balta over Houston.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mckercher spends more time at half back than people think. His run and kicking would be so elite coming off half back as he continues to mature, similar to Whitfield. More than likely we bring in another mid with pick 2, which stacks our young midfield even more.
We...
If you can’t understand how pivotal Parker was tonight, then you have no idea about football. He sacrificed his own game to take out Alir and that is exactly what our club needs.

They’re a lot younger than what they were a couple of years ago when they won it. Geelong hitting a wall is a myth.

I think both GWS and GC recruited a similar amount of mature players. GC targeted players between 25 and 30 with players like Ablett, Boch, Harbrow, etc. Where as GWS went after younger types like Ward, Davis, Scully, etc and then added some experience with older types like McDonald, Cornes...
I do. Who have they ‘blown’ in recent times? Phillips?? Who else?…
Simpkin
McKay
LDU
Thomas (could have been anything)
Powell
JHF
Sheezel
Wardlaw
Mckercher
Duursma
Seems like a solid list to me champion.

That’s the role he played this year. You’re judging far too early, just like a lot of people did with Daicos and Sheezel in their first year. Expecting the full product of a player in their first year is ridiculous.
Again, who would you take ahead of him in this years draft? Which player is...
Mckercher was pick 2 less than a year ago and had a very impressive first season. Opinions like this make high picks so overrated and undervalue recently drafted players.
Who would you pick over Mckercher in the upcoming draft?

The evidence is that they had to give away a top 10 pick along with a decent player to relieve the pressure.
Lukosius is gone and they need him gone. What the club says means nothing.

The fact that they did that trade, suggests to me the state of their cap was pretty bad and very unlikely to be rectified in one offseason.
The fact that they have to get Lukosius off the books just proves my point further. He is a good player and should be retained. They can’t because they...
GC’s cap is so stretched they had to give away a quality player with a top 10 pick in desperation to free up space. The problem with GC is that they have several players on big money and a lot of their middle tier players are being overpaid.

You have no idea what McDonald would have netted us if he was traded from North this year. Their careers would have been completely different, playing for completely different teams. As I said previously, McDonald has played in a top team with quality forward entries and North has had half the...
Lol we didn’t have access to the first 2 key forwards. Why bother posting that?
Campbell is the same height as Phillips and hasn’t been any better.
DGB has been horrid.
That leaves us with McDonald who has hardly set the world on fire. He averages what 10 disposals and 1 goal a game in a...
Not much chance our players will leave for Tassie. Possibly Mckercher, but even that I doubt. We will be entering our window around that time. Who would want to go through a rebuild and then go start another rebuild at another club? Money talks, but North will be able to lock players down long...
North have already stated they won’t be requesting for priority picks this year.
Even when North don’t get priority picks, people are sooking about North getting priority picks. A lot of short memories in this thread.

You can’t pick them all, especially in peak covid. We have had far less busts in the first round than Carlton. Dow and SPS is just the start of a long list.
