Possibly, but their percentage this year does sit in the worst 10 percentages of all time list.People thinking north will just be crap again in 2022 might be surprised.
Chances of a team winning 3 spoons in a row is almost unprecedented.
I can see them rise to about 14th or 15th.
They are stacked with young talent
We're in a great draft position except for the complete lack of first rounders for the next two drafts.Has anyone done the math on our 2023 pick values pre and post trade period based on current ladder position?
I have a hypothesis we have significantly improved our points in 23.

Walls didn’t want Acres. Not sure why but this was clear. The F3 as I’ve said at the beginning has a similar feel to Hogan trade which was also a third round pick (54 brought forward to be used at 50 on Brandon Walker). I would have liked us to upgrade pick 76 to 66 in addition to the F3.People expect the world on here tbh:
- Lobb is a 29 year KPF/ruck who’s hardly one of the best KPFs in the league. Might be closer to the best KPF/ruck bit there isn’t as much competition for that. Point is you only get a first rounder for a 29 year old if said player is an A Grader. Getting two second rounders is a very good result.
- Logue wasn’t in our best defensive 6/7 and has proven he’s a rubbish forward. Not sure many other players that meet this description have gone for what is likely to be pick 20-22 tbh.
- Tucker was finished here. Getting anything for him was a good result. Getting pick 40-ish next year is an amazing deal.
- Meek is a back up that doesn’t have much forward ability at all. I don’t care how good we thought he is. Back up rucks that can’t play KPF don’t hold much trade value.
- Acres was a poor result imo. He’s still young enough and is a best 22 winger. Carlton can get ****ed.
- For Jackson that’s simply what you pay for a guy who’s considered to be one of the best young talents in the league. People say he’s out of contract but honestly I think the trade price wouldve been even more if he was contracted tbh.
- For Corbett once again that’s the going rate for a player that’s outside their side’s best 22 these days when their club is actively trying to move them on.
- Very hard to measure the O’Meara trade for value imo. Guess you couldn’t expect Hawthorn to be much good next year so the F4 combined with North’s F3 and F4 could almost get us another pick in the mid-second round next year. Hard to measure the impact Hawthorn paying O’Meara has on the pick required.
Overall I think most of the trades we made were about par. I think the Acres and Corbett trades would be just about the only ones the relevant opposition fans wouldn’t think are garbage from their end.
Bread is bad for youAfter a few hours to process, my assessment of the trade period is as follows:
Biggest win: only losing players who are (if we're being honest) only fringe or, if better than that, total campaigners who we're happy to get out of our lives, whilst bringing in 3 players, ranging from could-be-a-goer through solid performer-with-scope-to-surprise to could-be-absolutely-anything, who — and this the important — actually want to be at Freo for reasons other than money / no one else wanted them.
Biggest regret: taking the time to type out and post some seriously impressive sandwich innovations in a thread which is so long and so quick to grow, and soon to be locked anyway, that hardly any one is going to read them.

Crispin Glover/George McFly = Rory Lobb .. Always seen it myself too.
You tickets on yourself. Good call I guess.I am never wrong.
Crispin Glover/George McFly = Rory Lobb .. Always seen it myself too.
Here's Rory when CYoung tells him he's got a Vic based club to take him out his heavily front loaded contract to Freo with a year to run..
Here's Rory when Walls says at the beginning of trade week: " I don't see a way in which we're trading Rory.”
Rory when he's told he's been traded in the last 5 minutes of trade period
Bye Rory... thanks for your service...
Reported.Bread is bad for you
Good thinking me man
I'll make the call I think O'Meara will be an absolute weapon for us and one of the best trades in the history of our club. It was only 2021 where he was averaging 26 possessions and looking like he was returning to his best. Last year he was played mostly at half forward but still did well when onball. No problems with anyone disagreeing in the slightest. Time will tell.Calmed down a bit now, melted a bit hard back there (don't we all though at some point?)
I'm happy to give it a chance. If O'Meara can bring something to us I'll be ecstatic, he's a good stop gap for the loss of Mundy.
If Corbett is anything more than depth we'll be well pleased.
Jackson will be one of the best players in the league down the line, can't complain about it.
Trivial really, if we finish similar to this year, and Norf are bottom few, we can expect to be 200ish or 10% points short of what we'd have with a full hand.Has anyone done the math on our 2023 pick values pre and post trade period based on current ladder position?

First player to welcome O'Meara on social media.... Caleb Serong. He is invested.
Corbett is in the best 22. He's better than Sturt, Banfield and the departed Logue up forward. We just shipped out two starting forwards, the imports have to fill those holes.
Our Talls will be Tabs, Amiss and Corbett. Corbett may start on bench to allow Jackson to start on the ground though, Jackson may be in the middle though!
I CANT WAIT FOR 2023
Fyfe will play forward, no way Corbett is a walk up start in best 22Corbett is in the best 22. He's better than Sturt, Banfield and the departed Logue up forward. We just shipped out two starting forwards, the imports have to fill those holes.

I think they are very keen to have early draft picks next year.That Hawks f4 actually softens the blow quite a bit
Hawks could finish last next year with their outs
Quite.View attachment 1535066
Nothing has changed since 2018.
Enjoy disappointing a 3rd clubs set of supporters Rory. May you be bullied in perpetuity.
We would be the dumbest bunch of sea words to give 11 for Lobb.
Quite.
JOM gf moved to Perth and they brought a house.I do find it hilarious how two days ago JOM was staying at Hawks, then suddenly GWS come in and he's at cogs wedding and he's a lock to go there - no one else was interested or even approached hawks about it. And then we come in last minute, and trade him.
GWS would be pissed off.
I don't think so, they want Corbett to lead up the wings and keep Tabs at FF. Jackson also isn't a lock to start in the forward line. Fyfe I suspect is going to be part of the midfield rotation as he and JOM provide the big bodies.Taberner, Jackson, and that bloke that wears number 7 will probably all be in the front 6 if fit for round 1 2023. Only one of Amiss/Corbett/Treacy plays round 1 IMO.
