I’ll be disappointed if tZ doesn’t apply
 
Was going to post this a few weeks ago, but didn't get around to it. However have revisited it since these resignations and so many calls that our list is completely stuffed, will take a decade to recover, etc, etc.

I've taken a look at our current list profile and then projected forward the age and experience for two and five years respectively.

The "Now" column below just demonstrates what we all already know. We have just 12 players that are aged over 25 and/or have played more than 100 games. Generally those players are either past it, not up to it or unavailable. Added to that, there are just five other players that have played over 50 games, leaving the club with a dearth of quality age and experience, and that is having an obvious massive impact on current on-field performance.

But fast forward just two years to the 2024 finals and we will likely have about nine players who have played more than 100 games, but most of those players will be in their prime. Then there will be about a dozen or more players that have played over 50 games. The quality of those players is more mixed and some won't be here at all by then. Nevertheless, looking at that list profile I think that is a list that can at least challenge for finals. Even if they don't actually make it, it's still not a list that looks anchored to the bottom of the ladder.

Then fast forward another three years to 2027 finals. That's where the colour coding comes in. By my count, we already have 12 players (the ones in green) on the list that are pretty much a lock in terms of quality and by 2027 will be in their prime with over 100 games experience, with seven of those players having over 150 games experience. In addition to that, there's over a dozen players that are in the "maybe" category (the ones in orange) with the jury still out, but hopefully at least of a handful of them can make the grade (or maintain the grade, in McDonald's case). To me, this is a strong basis of a list that can challenge for a premiership. Are there still holes at the moment? Of course. Is there still a lot of work to do to get there? Hell yeah. But there are still five years worth of drafting, trading and free agency acquisition periods to come before we get into that 2027, which is ample opportunity to improve the list.

Despite what's happened in the last few weeks with stories of Noble being to "shouty", recruiting team "resignations" etc, none of that changes the above. The coaches, player development, recruitment staff etc will probably all change in the coming years, before we taste premiership success again, but that doesn't change the position our list is currently in, which is at least a very solid basis for building towards a premiership, in my opinion anyway.
Great work RR - and I know you will fill out that list with some nice trades as well!

Good call

We definitely wouldn’t have the likes of Mahony and Polec on the list

Or reached for the likes of Neilson, will walker, qld lads etc
Turners? Surely he'd be on the way out. has grafted 111 games averaging 8.3 effective disposals a game. .3 contested marks, so roughly 5 per year.
3.3 tackles for a back forward pressure specialist that isn't flash.
 
Great post. Highlights some positivity on a tough week.

Really, this shows that the blokes highlighted Yellow need to show they can reach the blokes who are highlighted Green. I have faith in Scott and Taylor being able to do this.

We need a serious focus on development from here on. Players are stagnating too frequently.
Yeah I'm quite confident on Taylor too, as well as Ford. Then there's Bonar and Comben if they can get their bodies right. At least one of Xerri and CCJ, but hopefully both. And some of the younger guys like Goater and Edwards that have a high ceiling. Whether six of these guys end up making the grade or none of them will make a big difference to how much talent we need to bring in over the next five trade / free agency / draft periods and ultimately how good we end up becoming.

I'm still not sure if the likes of Scott, Mahony and Young will end up making best 22 in a premiership side, but if they continue to improve and we get to top 4 with guys like that ranked 25-30 on our list then we will at least have very good depth.

You make some good points but please please PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEE stop thinking that BONAR will ever be a good player.

He will be delisted as soon as his contract is up.

The softest and most uninspiring player that shows absolutely no desperation when the ball is in dispute.

Has absolutely no peripheral vision.

If he had any honour he’d quit and apologise to North supporters for masquerading as an AFL footballer these last 3 years.

This is harsh

I’m not convinced he will make it but still

That’s quite a long list - not sure Bonar is at the top

Nah, Bonar can play. Injury the only thing holding him back. Happily took on Harry McKay too.
 
Good call

We definetly wouldn’t have the likes of Mahony and Polec on the list

Yeah but we’e have every delisted rookie for the last 10 years form every other team playing for us..

We will never know, but I’d luv to hear WTF we thought Will Brodie and Pick 19 for free was a shit deal.
 
Are you reading what posters are saying on here regarding Greenwood?

Brodie would be nothing more than another whipping boy and another strike against the list management team.
Or he would be averaging 28 possessions a game playing in his preferred position with his new club. Maybe he was ready to break out irrespective of club.

It's not like he relies on other players to get his ball for him.

Absolutely shiteful from the club if true...

Yeah of course, but greenwood didn’t come with also pick 19. Seems a complete stuff up to me. As I said, we will never know. Easy in hindsight, of course, but I’d luv to know. Think Will grew up with Jy too.

We needed to give them our second rounder this year and we spent that on CCJ.
But yes looking at tit now would have been a better addition than Greenwood, on the flipside Freo have their shit together and we don't, he could have spudded it up in our team too.

Good reply, but I'm not sure what you looking at tit had anything to do with it. Just wanting to brag, I assume. 🙂

Was that the trade benbanjo ? So we would‘ve got Brodie and pick 19, for our 2022 second rounder? I didnt think our second rounder was involved. Not as great a deal then, so that makes more sense why we didn’t do it.
I literally thought it was a salary dump by GC

we would have traded our 2nd rounder back as part of the deal
