Corey all the way back in 96 should have got a Norm Smith, he was the difference, how did Cox go a decade ago?

But neither of these questions answer my initial question.

My answer is the next flags will likely be won by sides who come up with innovative game plans rather than copying others. I also doubt they will be built around a ruckman because of how football has evolved and what qualities are required by successful sides.

Yours was a bit of a loaded question though, as it is suggesting that I am saying that teams will just copy the Bulldogs and thus not want to trade for a ruckman. That's not what I am saying at all.

McKernan was effectively a ruck rover, and Cox was surrounded by one of the most dynamic midfields of the modern era. Both were revolutionaries in terms of how they played as a ruckman.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Hansen to Brisbane is on the cards.

would like to see Darcy Gardiner in return for Hansen, young KPD out of contract who will likely seek a trade

 

[buttsauce]

The AFL should let north melbourne know what the compo for Wells is going to be because it could decide whether we keep him or not. If its only a 3rd rounder we might as well give him 3 years

 

[G0ther00s]

Hansen to Brisbane is on the cards.

Pick 11 for rockliff
Pick 29 and Hansen for Hanley

Premiership mode

 

[ArchKing Carey]

What's everyone's thoughts and trading for more 1st Round picks? Especially if the draft is as deep as it supposedly is.

NMFC -> GWS 11 & 30 & BMac (or Hansen)
GWS -> NMFC 15, 16 & 32

So we go to the draft with 15, 16, 32, (Wells Compo Pick, possibly 33) and 66

 

[giantroo]

So Lions could get pick 8 for Hanley

 

[Harris 10]

We should get involved in the Rocky firesale.

I like your answer, the fact you and most doubt it will be built around a ruckman, could be the prefect reason to try that.

yes it was a tad loaded, but then what fun would we have without that.

I agree with McKernan effectively being a ruck rover, do you look at Goldie and think at his best he too is a fourth midfielder? I doubt he will ever be traded as we will always value him higher then anyone is prepared to trade for, why would anyone trade the best in their role (arguably) for 1 lottery ticket?

The fact that Goldy spreads better from a contested situation than any of our current mids qualifies him as an extra mid in my opinion.

 

[King Corey]

Isn't captaincy voted in the pre-season? Perhaps Swallow announcing he is standing down?

There is no chance in hell we get a first rounder for Hansen or BMac. Third at most.

Also, if they're not best 22 at North, how are they going to play a game at GWS? Especially when they have to reduce their list size this year.

Doubt GWS would go anywhere near either BMac or Hansen but I like your thinking re downgrading 11

 

[tiltraise]

We should get involved in the Rocky firesale.

I would describe Rockliff as a combination of ebola, zika and cancer.

 

[tiltraise]

We should be one of the clubs pushing for Brisbane's pick 2. no if's no but's no maybe's. just bloody do something bold. we must get a great young player to the club.

We could package up Wood, Clarke, 11 + 30.

One I don't even think we have the currency to get into this, we don't have multiple high picks to swap, we also don't have the player currency to package with 11 to get it done.
Also trading out 11 and if we had the currency in players, pick 2 doesn't guarentee you a great player, development still needs to happen.
If you think having pick 2 then allows us to try and get an existing player in, they stil have to want to come to us..

 

[75-77-96-99]

We could package up Wood, Clarke, 11 + 30.

OMG - Seriousely!!!!!!

 

[Brufen]

I would describe Rockliff as a combination of ebola, zika and cancer.

Certainly got that stink about him!!
