Maybe he had to take personal leave due to trying to sort out TTs problems?

Oh dear, one of our biggest supporters, King, just suggested on SEN that Suns give up pick 5 for T Thomas. He can't help it as a North tragic
Maybe hollands and second round pick for TT
Sorry if I made you feel attacked, nothing to do with you or your point.
What do you mean, I’m sure Hawthorn have been instrumental to the development of Tew Jiath, a bloke they found out was eligible for their NGA 5-minutes ago, for example.
Exactly the same as the thousands of hours we have been working with Walter, Rogers, and Read since they were 12 in an effort to expand the draft pool so less VIC boys have to hop on a plane up here.

TT also on big money next year, something like 750k and North would be struggling to reach the cap so some form of pick purchase could be in order.
Can't imagine they're paying anyone huge guaranteed money (probably LDU and Larkey), but I think his value is currently a 2nd round pick.
He's had off-field issues and is still pretty inconsistent.

You gotta love this bloke. Despite being a twin he loves forging his own path and has never waivered once in his commitment to the club (publicly too). I would have never seen this coming when we drafted him. It's awesome.
People here gave him a lot of s**t after bye. Now we know he was not right. I thought he was very good before bye. He seems to love it here. Hopefully a full preseason under Buddy coming

If Buddy comes on in some kind of off field role, I’d love to see him work with Luko. Buddy played up the ground a lot and got involved, and knew how to hit a goal from outside the 50 paint. Might help Luko work on his natural game.People here gave him a lot of s**t after bye. Now we know he was not right. I thought he was very good before bye. He seems to love it here.

Luko has the potential to be our best ever player when its all said and done.
Start bagging 50+ goals a year for another 10 years

Great call.
Luko could follow Buddy’s lead and learn his running patterns. They have similar strengths and weaknesses; both have beautiful long kicks on the run and are not overly gifted pack marks for tall forwards.

Aslong as buddy don’t teach him how to kick.
Buddy’s swing around action was a shocked.
Yes he had it worked out. But Jesus.

Luko and Franklin similar except one guy is missing that explosive, powerful, fast twitch athletic profile and the huge self confidence that the other guy has..

It’s more the position of the ground. Buddy often played higher up the ground and on the wing even.
I think he has more in common with Luko’s position than Ben King’s, for example. But no, they are not similar players in terms of athletic profile.

So tell me again how do we trade up to 1 with WCE and get the 3 academy lads too.

We can't.
Incorrect I’ve seen one of those AFL.com nerds and posters on here explain pathways.

Mate unless we are trading out bonafide best 22 players to get more picks in, we arent getting Reid and all 3 academy kids.
Genius day for our club

Pick 4 and 2024 first enough? Probably not. West Coast would want to secure Curtin in a move out of 1 and at this stage could be pick 2. So maybe if north have pick 2 and 3 they would be up for what would then be pick 5 and Graham for pick 2. Pick 2 and 2024 1st for pick 1
As for the extra points trading hollands a start and Walter would only be pick 3 tops too which helps.
1- gc, reid
2- wc, Curtin
3 NM, mckercher
4 hawks, duursma
5 NM, Watson

Bringing in a 4th first round 18 year old isn’t going to fix jacksh*t. Give me a couple of experienced heads who aren’t total pea hearts and will actually fill an area of need on our list.
Do we need to get Reid at #1 or do we just need to get a good young player before the Walter bid comes?Pick 4 and 2024 first enough? Probably not.
