2021 Wooden Spoon

[The Warlord]

Edwards looks good, Comben looks alright. Can't rely on those two tho, need a genuine CHF or FF (depending on if you want Larkey at FF/CHF) to help him and be his genuine A Grade partner for the next decade +.

He's played one game ffs.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

We do? Larkey is tracking perfectly and we debuted the kid who we plan to have as his partner up forward in Comben last night.

Got Edwards in the mid season draft too.

As i said, can't rely on just 3, Hawthorn have 4. At a higher standard aswell (Larkey great!!) But Comben has played 1 game, seen him in the VFL (been injured a fair bit) and shown some good signs but has been given a game so quickly because you have no 2nd key forward. Edwards is a big development project.

 

[Instincts]

Alright, I guess this has become the North list management thread, let's look.

Not sure who we're gonna bring in through trades and free agency. But let's assume our draft picks stay the same. I personally would draft like this

First Round: Horne
Second Round: KPF, should be one there for our taking
Third and fourth round: Livewire forward (Papley or C. Cameron) and a KPD
Fifth+: Rebounding defender and if we can mould an intercept marking player as well that would be nice.

Given he’s played 1 vfl game, where he was named as Norths best player, you couldn’t have seen too much of him.

 

[WillHayward]

Done and dusted but gee whizz North have improved the last half of the year.
David Noble impressive.
A lot to feel hopeful about the future.

I've seen a bit of him prior to that.

There's not alot of KPF. Relying on landing a livewire elite fwd or fwd in general + a KPD at third/fourths unless you're hawthorn is not a reliable solution. Beyond that is just haha

In the vfl? He literally hasn’t played game in the vfl before that.

Didn't say in the VFL haha, saw some highlights of him as a junior

Well you’re clearly an expert on him then

Nah just watch juniors. (Sometimes)

Or North.

Larkey (Pick 73), Zurhaar (Rookie), Ford (50+)

We seem to pick up a decent late pick every draft especially when you factor in Ben Brown was one as well.

Ford can't be put in the convo yet, larkey and camZ good. But like, hawks have been doing it for the last decade haha

The two livewire players I mentioned were both rookie picks

Can't rely on it.

Can't rely on it.

Ok? But it's the best way to go

Maybe, it's worth a shot. Not putting the house on it or even my bottle of water for it to work.

Dreaming if you think you’re going to nail everyone of those picks.

Honestly north don’t feel like a 18th ranked team
Feels weird

To be honest I don’t think any of the bottom 10 sides are that bad this year.

Could just be because I’m comparing them to Adelaide last year though…

If they beat Adelaide, which they're a decent chance to, they'll have more points than any other Wooden spooner since 1976 when Collingwood won it

 

[WillHayward]

Long shot but I can see Collingwood having an absolute shocker.

Jeez I was close here.
