Could quite easily see Higgins on the half forward flank, as good as he is on ball for North. But yes either way he takes a spot off someone potentially.

Brown wouldn't make a lot of sense. Would have to give up a decent pick and he's too similar to King. I can understand the attraction of a quality forward, but Brown and King both play from the goal square. Other clubs are more suited.
For a start
Dunstan
DMAC
Told to look elsewhere but contracted
Webster
Savage
Roberton
Joyce
Austinn
will be told to look elsewhere or delisted
Lonie will ask to be traded to the Bulldogs
Carlisle will go to Cats or Hawks
Cream, yes but my preference would be for a 'moneyball' (sorry to use the cliche but it's apt) pick up in this position seeing as the vacancy I'm referring to is only going to open up in 2022 (injuries permitting). It would be far from ideal to have one of Ryder, Marshall, King, Membrey, and (insert gun key forward recruit), playing reserves. It's also not feasible to have them all in the team at once.
My preference is to pick up 2 or 3 potential back-ups (e.g. Paddy McCartin), and let them fight it out in 2021 for the position in the VFL, then we'll be in a good place.
Wonder what we would get for Lonie and Carlisle. Must have a potential back coming in you would think, especially with us moving a few on.

Whilst Barrett is drawing a long bow.
we are looking at another tall forward option as a need.

I can see why we’d want another tall. Someone like Gunston would be a better fit. More versatile and can play as the first, second or third target in a forwardline. Is a lovely field kick and can get up the ground.
In the 70s North had never won a flag , then they went on a spending spree brought in Barrassi , Barry Cable , Doug Wade , John Rantall , Blight , Crosswell , Keenan , Dempsey
Forgot we’re playing finals I’m that ****ing excited for trade season baby!

To me we need some top end talent to go from a 4th to 10th type of team and become a regular finals threat team. If you could take Cameron and play him along with King you just have to get it done. This is an elite player. Getting Jack Watts instead of Wayne Carey doesn't do it for me, if you can get superstars in you get them in. Geelong could have looked past Danger or someone a bit cheaper but I doubt they regret it. We'd have some serious firepower. Melbourne and Collingwood would jizz themselves to have either him or King let alone both.

That Tom Brown said Higgins would most probably be on Abletts money and he said somewhere between 300k and 400k , on that he would be worth getting

If you can get Cameron you get him , he is a better target than Membery , I hate to say.
Yeah I wouldn't want to pay the required price for Gunston. Was more hypothetical about the style of forward that would suit us better. I'd like Cameron but hard to see it happening. I don't reckon we end up getting a KPF.

If we were to get a forward, I think it would be one that is dangerous on ground level as well as aerially (Gunston/Mihocek type). While I do like Brown and hope he flourishes in a new home, I don't think he's the answer for us.
I think this should be our shortlist:
- Viney
- Caldwell
- Gunston/Mihocek
- Talia

I think deep down the reason I am not keen on bringing in another tall forward is because that means we aren't getting Bing in the foreseeable future.

Sounds like J.Battle
Yeah I don't reckon we'll end up getting a KPF. King, Membrey, Battle and Marshall is plenty to work with.

Us not being publicly linked to most mids on the market but Caldwell tells me the club must be pretty confident on one Bytel or Byrnes coming on next year.
Of course I agree that Cameron makes our team a whole lot better, but list management is a zero sum game and my preference (in a perfect world) is for an elite midfielder plus King and Membrey rather than a GOP midfielder with King and Cameron.
That said, in an imperfect world where we cannot land anyone of note in our midfield, then yes by all means bring in Cameron.
