Booper was with Reid and Caddy (yes I know this two are close friends) last night. Was on his insta story last night.

Menaces, those three are going to rip up the clubs for years.Booper was with Reid and Caddy (yes I know this two are close friends) last night. Was on his insta story last night.
I can't see a deal happening as I am sure we will want to keep pick 2 to get Colby as well as getting Reid. ie we would be prepared to lose Duursma (our pick 3) but not Colby to get access to Reid.A nice well thought out post but you've made a core error in your assumption.
Curtin is our third choice, and not our need. McKercher is the alternate target supposedly, just being kept on the downlow.
Pick 3 doesn't help us get McKercher. The rest of the post sadly falls over.
3,15,17 and F2 sounds great, but really it doesn't fix our list.
If that was the case then why dont West Coast just say that " we are taking pick 1 to the draft and picking Reid" this would then stop all the back and forth of clubs offering to try to get pick 1. West Coast keep refusing offers because they are not good enough which to me sounds like " we are open to offers"..it just doesn't gel...We rate Reid, as does every other team as 1 on the available players, ROB has come out and said we are likely to keep 1 and take Reid when asked about it this week, Reid has also come out multiple times and said he is fine with being picked by eagles or north as he wants to be a part of taking a team from the bottom to the top, I don’t think north give up the currency for Reid and I don’t think it would be worth it
Men in the sanfl…let’s be clear on that a bunch of part time amateur footy players. I’d rate the Coates league higher!I hate the Judas as much as the next guy but he has all the attributes to be greater than Dangerfield.
HR has nothing on Judas.
Judas was ripping games apart against men as a 17 year old.
Once his tank improves he will be unstoppable.

The funny thing is that West Coast would also be stronger with the packages offered than Reid.Agreed. North are far stronger without 1 given what I think the premium will be.
We might only take 4 picks at the draft, depending on what strategy the club takes with DFA’s and players without contracts.That gives us 1,2,17,22
Not terrible but I would like 2/ or 3 and 15 or keep, leaving us with 1, 2/3, 17,18
All the options are good, we can’t lose
Hope they are better than that we just got one of your so called amateurs for our back line.Men in the sanfl…let’s be clear on that a bunch of part time amateur footy players. I’d rate the Coates league higher!
No, we traded it for pick 1, pick 40 and pick 43. What the **** is it with you campaigners and not being able to let this go. We. Weren't. Planning. To. Take. Cadman. At. 1.So we traded pick 1 in 2022 for pick 2, 40 and 43 essentially?
l still think if Sanders goes before Geelongs pick then we go after their pick by offer any two of 15,17, and 18 plus thrown in F3 for something else in return maybe their F3 on top of pick 8/9 to get it done...I can't see a deal happening as I am sure we will want to keep pick 2 to get Colby as well as getting Reid. ie we would be prepared to lose Duursma (our pick 3) but not Colby to get access to Reid.
If WC are effectively in the same boat - ie they will only trade down if they can be assured of getting Colby - then it appears we have reached an impasse so to speak.
This means WC will take Reid with 1 and we will take Colby then Duursma with 2 and 3.
Alternatively - once WC accept the position that there will be no deal with North then a deal with Melbourne could be their next best option - get 2 top 10's this year (including Curtin) and a F1.
Personally the best result for North is to use our 5 first rounders as they are now and nail (at least) 4 of these picks.
Maybe?Not sure if it made waves over there, but Reid went on SEN WA the day before and made clear he's happy to come to Perth and take the #9 guernsey. He also said McClure must not like him much for making stuff up about him.
The next day that happens.
It seems a bit pantomime to me.
Carlton picked up Durdin from the SANFL in the mid season draft! Not knocking the league, just saying I believe the Coates league sets higher standards of conditioning and preparation for an afl career as opposed to guys holding down day jobs and playing footy part time. Obviously there will be players in that league who are an exception and focussed on finding a way to the afl.Hope they are better than that we just got one of your so called amateurs for our back line.
I don't think that's an amazing offer. 2 & 15 from us beats it.WC should take the Melbourne offer. 6, 11 and a F1 is an amazing deal for one player, and hopefully more than we’d be prepared to cough up.
Purely my opinion only, l liked him leading up to the 2022 draft and would have been great if we picked him late as big raw ruckman to go along side X and Goldstein...as it stands we still only have 2 ruckman so the 2x WA boys is purely to fascinate a trade to get this No.1 along with the picks but we'd need another ruck option if we parted with Free.I’ll bite - why Barnett? He showed absolutely nothing in the WAFL last season. He’s a long long way off.
IF, he had a Sheez type year in 24 and decided to do a JHF, he's on 3 year contract and he'll be on the open market which we'll be 1 of 17 clubs chasing but as it stands, we are realistically the only club that WCE can only deal with.Just wait 12 months
Let the Eagles draft Reid at 1 then we take Curtain at 2 or 3 then after the 2024 season Reid will want to comeback to Victoria and Curtain May want to go back to WA .
But if for some reason Cutain wants to stay here we can still trade with the Eagles maybe our 1st pick next year and maybe a player or 2 thrown in.
Or we can suggest to them a straight swap for both players with draft picks thrown in.
As a club the NMFC we hold all the cards why risk doing something stupid by giving away a draft haul of picks which I still can’t believe the AFL has given us by putting all the eggs in 1 basket by selling the farm to get Reid.
We might even get lucky and the Eagles might call out Curtain name 1st.
Then Reid is all ours.
That's my take tooI think that WC should want to be in a position where they have McKercher and then the option to either draft 3+ more guys (Tholstrup, Edwards, ZZ, Collard) or combine picks to live trade up to Curtin on draft night if he slides to 7 or 8.
2 + 15 + 18 along with their 23 puts them in that position.
Knocking back the other deals shows only McKercher in a deal gets it done.I think that WC should want to be in a position where they have McKercher and then the option to either draft 3+ more guys (Tholstrup, Edwards, ZZ, Collard) or combine picks to live trade up to Curtin on draft night if he slides to 7 or 8.
2 + 15 + 18 along with their 23 puts them in that position.
Young seemed such a nice lad too.“Genuinely the worst team mate I’ve ever had through my career. Shocking bloke. The entire playing list wanted him gone”
