We need to poach someone from Melbourne. Heard multiple times through media pieces that their presos to prospective recruits blow them away.
It’s intrigued me how Melbourne seemingly always landed their man.

We're damaged, aren't we.Kidding yourself if you don't think Brodie would have had 15 and kicked 0.1 in Round 1 for us before being dropped to the VFL for Bonar, then suffering a niggling quad injury for 6 weeks
This is what worries me re a priority pick.....AFL will say we caused the current damage our list is in.We are one Larkey injury away from playing a 1 gamer as our #1 forward.
We are one McKay injury from playing a bloke who's been delisted twice as our chief KPD.
They have absolutely torched our list. We turfed out experienced, key players, to the point they left on bad terms after years of great service, and didn't replace them with a remotely like for like replacement.
Yep. It's inexcusable imo.We are one Larkey injury away from playing a 1 gamer as our #1 forward.

Definitely the stuff dreams are made of.North should genuinely consider trading their first round pick this year (assuming it's top 5~) for an established player.
I said it last year before we solidified the #1 pick and that meant JHF, but I would love NMFC to make a genuine push to bring Harry McKay over to North from Carlton to play with his twin Ben.
Harry up forward as our #1 KPF.
Ben down back as our #1 KPD.
Stuff dreams are made of.
Assuming its top 5? I guarantee its number one!North should genuinely consider trading their first round pick this year (assuming it's top 5~) for an established player.

Give me one good reason why Harry would consider the switch?
Freo did. We need to be able to do that.Some extraordinary revisionist history going on with Brodie here. Nobody rated him last year. Nobody could have predicted he'd become a player.

Isn’t it him that is Jy’s mate? I think he’s been mentioned by others as a trade target over the years.Some extraordinary revisionist history going on with Brodie here. Nobody rated him last year. Nobody could have predicted he'd become a player.
Wardlaw, the projected number one, meant to be an Oliver clone......You don’t pass that up.We have to trade pick 1. I don’t care if it’s a gamble! We need key position players, not mids.

We didn't say no, I thought they offered us Darcy Macpherson, but forgot to ask him first.I don't get the whole "you [internet pundit] didn't predict that [X player] would be a star, so you can't criticise our list management team" stuff. I really don't.
Besides the fact that a couple of posters here (not me) literally did predict Brodie's potential, it is not our job to predict these things. The good clubs do it - they see something in players that others don't.
You could easily say "no one could have predicted that Richard Tambling would be a dud and Franklin would be the best forward of his generation." You could just as easily say "no one could predict both Scully and Trengove" would be flops.
The simple fact is the Gold Coast offered to pay us to take a bloke who has launched himself into the status of one of the best midfielders in the game. Our staff, paid to do this type of thing, did not see it. Fremantle's did. We had first dibs and said no.
You don't build a good football club out of identifying talent that any ol' forum commentator could see. We keep missing and we will not make it.
Someone earlier in the thread said that Brodie was offered as an alternative to Darcy. Freo ended up taking the salary dump deal that we had lined up before McPherson said no.We didn't say no, I thought they offered us Darcy Macpherson, but forgot to ask him first.
Supercoach scores.Cut too deep. Without managing to find a way to collect extra pics to help rebuild.
That's where a guy like Goldy could have been useful. Too late now. Should have got more for Brown.
The lack of small forwards and tall defensive cover is damning.
If list managers couldn't see that relying on Walker was playing with fire, I'm not sure what they were watching.
