Yes I agree it will be North, which makes Ben Buckley's comment when they hired Noble as coach that they expect a flag within 3 years even more idiotic. Hard to see them not still being bottom 4 material in 3 years time.

Bizarre that they didnt take a KPF last year given pick 1 this year will be an outstanding mid.
Its one thing to hype for the members, another thing to start believing it.

They should have a good enough midfield to be out of the bottom 4 in 3 years time

Nice deflection. Your opinion looks shaky now and you know it. As for adding to the discussion should I just put North and Essendon as bottom 2? That worthy enough for you?. It's round 1 who really knows at this stage.

Won’t be a bad year to ‘win’ the spoon. Imagine Zac Merrett leaves (via Free Agency) and we receive 1 and compensation pick 2?

Not a lot of pride with essendon supporters.

Round 1 throws up all sorts of odd results (my mob's win as an eg), however the North result was on par with expectation. The reported crowd of just 13K underscored the result, their favouritism for the spoon and arguments to continue about a move to Tas throughout the season.

Deflection? From what?
I put down my thoughts, you countered them on the back of a round 1 victory against a likely bottom 4 side.
There's a long way to go yet.
Now as opposed to after the result last night...when I posted it?
If that's what you feel the bottom 2 will be, then sure. Why would I or anyone else stop you from doing that?
You know you're posting in a prediction thread, right?
Yes, just like the Crows imagined they would be getting Pick 2 for Crouch......

We'll, they did get band 1 for Danniher.
It’s not really bizarre at all, all the best premiership sides still contain star studded midfields.
We’ve had plenty of good key position players over the last 20 years. Means **** all if you can’t win the middle.

Surely you aren’t comparing Merrett to Crouch.
Merrett is band 1 every day of the week.

I absolutely don’t want to win the spoon but it appears that it is a very real chance.
I do worry about our forward line being able to kick enough goals to stay competitive throughout the whole year.
I hope we can get Cunnington back soon, will really help our young midfield out.

Brutal outfit Port won the game yes but lost the 1st and last quarter to a side that more then likely will finish last but knowing North we will beat one side in the 8 or challenging for the 8 in the 2nd half of the season and avoid the spoon unlike a Dark blue club with a white CFC on its jumper or a Red V and Dark blue jumper club as we won’t lay down as blatantly cheat to get priority picks or the 1st pick .
As for your club you will be there at the end of the season someone has to slaughtered by Richmond come Grand Final day.

Probably is band 1, although Crouch probably was band 1 at the start of last year. If you win the spoon though, it may knock some of the value off
I hope it's us, Draft looks really good this year nice Chonky mids
Dodo will want a few flankers to replace SAAD
Essendon won't finish bottom, 15th or 16th is more likely.
Freo are also looking at a very long season, doubt they win a game for the first month or so.
North has 2 hands firmly on the spoon. Some fans are actually relieved it was 'only' a 50 point loss yesterday, it's that sort of season.

I think they are broadly similar. Merrett has been more durable over his career but their output has been pretty much the same.
Merrett does play for a big Melbourne club though so that is in his favour in terms of profile.
I don’t think either are in the top tier with the likes of Martin, Fyfe, Pendles, Dangerfield, Neale though.
