Wow Robbie Young looks good.
Wasn't sure about the Parker pick but keen on Young and Hind
Wasn't sure about the Parker pick but keen on Young and Hind
Hi folks North Adelaide fan here so I've watched a fair bit of Robbie Young. He was a pretty crucial part of the premiership this year.
He is a lightning quick mainly pressure forward. Maybe doesn't find the ball and goal kicking opportunities as often as some of the better small forwards, but he doesn't miss often when he does get a shot at goals. He kicked some crucial goals in the finals this year - a check side from the boundary in the prelim sparked the comeback from about 8 goals down.
He is a brutal tackler and has the sort of nasty edge to his games that would make you hate him if he's on the other side, but is absolutely loved by team mates. Can be undisciplined and will be good for a game or 2 suspended in a year.
He can be a game breaker - you probably have seen the highlights of him kicking 6 against Norwood (who ended up in the grand final) this year. Has AFL attributes if you can harness them and get some consistency into his game.
Enjoy - I am happy for him but sad to see him go.

No nothing about Pickett but if no other club wanted him as well it cant be that much of a issue can it

Thought overall we did OK, King and Bytel are potential A graders, the other picks are more speculative but they look like they have some potential at least.
No one really knows how well clubs have done in a draft until at least a few years down the track anyway.

big picture stuff there are deals that go one behind the closed doors from trade week to drafts we may have an agreement with these tow clubs in regards to next year on when certain people nominate people we are into ... look at the way the WCE helped the Swans .... there are deals inside of deals that we wouldnt have a clue about ...
Gresh, JB and Kent will all be predominantly mids.

And sometimes we do very silly things
You really think we would give up apick in a trade if we thought Young would still be there at 75?
The good clubs just get the players they want.

Atu Bosenavulagi a pie. 
Can anyone tell me what picks we have for next year now? No second or third round?
A few of you blokes are going to end up on AFL Nuffies by the end of the day.
Yes, I do think we are stupid if we thought Young would be gone by 75

Dont worry, Ben Dixon will fix that
Jokes aside, he sounds perfect for us. Adds that pressure and excitement in the forward line while release Gresh to dominate the midfield.

Our football admin has been there for the best part of half a decade
That's what I make it, plus an extra 4th rounder. However I suspect we will end up with some picks coming our way from players being traded out, particularly forwards that are excess to requirements......

Hey, all’s fair in love and footy.
They would have known it was going to be a risky selection. You probably don’t get much more of a flight risk than picking an identical twin whose brother is playing at the club they both love.
They should just wear it and back themselves in to keep him and not waste any time or oxygen even taking any notice of a social media post.
At least Sandy will have a stacked forward line next year.
Seniors
HF: Billings, Marshall, Gresham
F: Long, Bruce, Membrey
Sandy
HF: Kent, Battle, Lonie
F: Parker, McCartin, King
Int: Young
Just hope Paddy doesn't launch collide with King and concuss himself on King's elbow

Ok. Maybe you should email the club and tell them to give you a job as you clearly know more than a team of full time recruiters?
