Honestly would probably avoid him anyways. Has barely participated in match sim all summer and I can see Caldwell, Durham and Tsatas going past him this year.

Apparently was attending a wedding along with a few others.

Obviously we are rooting against them but I hope they stink it up whilst Trac is able to get through a full year. A joy to watch at his peak and hopefully this isn’t too serious.

Martin surpasses Merrett as our best player. Jones emerges ahead of Wright and Draper as the second key forward next to Caddy. Archie Perkins kicks 30+ goals playing predominantly forward. Zach Reid plays an AFL game.

Zach Reid Jordan Ridley Nate Caddy

All of them.

Goz foaming at the mouth writing this one.

Twomey’s final Phantom has them bidding on both so it’s more than possible, if not likely.

We’ve spent enough recent draft capital on tall defenders recently. I know Trainor is more of a Ridley than a genuine key, but I think they are more pressing areas even at that range.

Per Tom Morris we’re playing Gold Coast on the Saturday of opening round.

Yeah that philosophy is also pretty evident in the Setterfield and Stringer calls.

He will train with us over pre-season to compete for an SSP spot.

Nah even if we finish bottom 4, which is quite possible, it would take something drastic for him to be sacked. We have gone through a merry-go-round of coaches over the last 10 years and it seems like him, Barham, Vozzo and Rosa are all pretty aligned on their vision so they will almost...

Who is Jake’s direct matchup when we play the Giants? Ridley? Redman?

Still much more balanced than what we were going with to end this year. HF: Gresham - Caddy - Menzie F: Langford - Draper - Stringer

Based on the approach this off-season they are gearing towards a rebuild rather than chasing the sugar hit of a finals win by topping up with experience. I would be relatively surprised if we aren’t in the bottom 7-8 teams next year as I think the main focus will be to give opportunities to the...

Don’t disagree but looks like it could be happening.

You’re in for a surprise.

Baker and Owies to West Coast is done apparently. Blues could be trading up to 3.

Surely North’s offer for Houston was better and you work out Richards and Lukosius separately if you’re Port? Great deal for the Suns and Pies.

Dogs should take that and run.

Pretty decent hall in the end.

There is also still the possibility of us live trading back into the first round if there is a player on the board we rate from 10-20.

The article implies that they would - "In the worst-case scenario, North Melbourne would retain two top-10 picks in a strong draft under this outcome."

Very tempting. Even if North acquire Houston that is still a likely top 4 pick.

This is a bit unfair as we wouldn't have had access to Kako if the top 40 requirement for NGA players wasn't removed midway through the year.

I know Jake has his shortcomings but Johno is having a laugh if he thinks Riccardi is getting picked ahead of him.

Or we proactively trade up to get in front of a potential bid and take a selection this year. But I do agree that the best call is to keep our pick for the time being as the best offers will likely come on draft night.

If Shiel or Stone are not involved then I would say so.

Early crack at how we will line up next year: B: McGrath – McKay – Ridley HB: Redman – Reid – Merrett C: Duursma – Parish – Roberts HF: Gresham – Caddy – Martin F: Guelfi – Wright – Langford R: Draper – Caldwell – Durham I/C: Tsatas – Perkins – El-Hawli - Kako Sub: Cox EMG: Jones - Hobbs - Bryan
