Game Day 2024 AFL Draft Live discussion Rd1, 2-4 and Rookie Draft

[My Tilly]

Fair.

They got the mids and ruck.
Decent tall forward .

Brought in helmet and parker .

They have not shown much improvement even in their losses. Take Adelaide for example, they finished bottom four but had a style which tested a lot of teams. Even West Coast showed a lot more than North Melbourne and they have considerably less talent on the park.

North Melbourne will do well just to get to 8 wins and that may still only be good enough for a bottom six finish.

I can't see any dramatic spike like we saw from Hawthorn. Hawthorn are a proven commodity and know how to get it right. North are an embarrassment to the competition.

 

[Footy Smarts]

This trade is going to be very funny in 12 months when they've traded pick 5 for pick 27 and a pick in the 30s

Can't believe how many hands this trade would have had to go through, yet no one stopped it.

It feels like Clarko demanded it and nobody wanted to risk their job by saying no.

 

[year of the cat]

Only a few players left I’d be prepared to trade for now. Shanahan, Gerreyn and Clarke. But I’m very circumspect. I’m not sure a FF without something decent coming back is now to be entertained.

 

[Two Planks]

Offer the bulldogs a future 1st and pick 42 for picks 29 and 31.

Draft Dodson and either of Shanahan or Whitlock

 

[Tony Barber]

I thank god every day that people like you arent involved with the club.

oh, im so hurt.

Actually, I'm probably more hurt that there's still people that think the way you obviously do.
Give kids a chance. Take a leap. And see what happens.

You dont think that the GFC hasn't done that?

FWIW I said that we shouldn't trade out F1.
But nth probably needed to fill something.

Please no more fomo, the way clubs are treating next year, it must be the worst projected draft pool. Time for us to load up

No, i dont think our club would trade a pick likely to be in the top 10 for pick 27.

Please stop posting it's getting embarrassing.

Holy shit they need to stop this first round going for 5 billion years

I love the trade by North. They need key position talls not mids and they will probably if there are quality key position early in next years pool. They saw Whitlock as a swing who can play both ends and by getting Richmond's 2nd rounder enables them to trade there own for next year and they may trade in early tomorrow to get another one.

Seems like the coaches can't get thought to the players at north and cows.

 

[Footy Smarts]

The way this is going do we trade out 42 for a future 1st?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Yep.
Draft night one.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

North Melbourne are a club run by genuine morons. Trading their pick 1 next year (probably top 10) for pick 27...That is terrible.

Wow

North gave up the 2nd pick tomorrow for Caleb Daniel

Upgrading from pick 29 to 27.

Whitlock is such a long term prospect that they could have waited a year and picked their KPP next year with their first pick

 

[OzeSparky]

I can't believe there are people on here supporting the absolute shit trade that North did. Was it for a Standout player? NO.

A delayed gratification experiment

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I didn't tune in because tonight is irrelevant for us but man, how would you be as a North fan

 

[Tony Barber]

No, i dont think our club would trade a pick likely to be in the top 10 for pick 27.

Please stop posting it's getting embarrassing.

A pick is coming back.
Nth need to accelerate.

Dont compare us to them.

 

[SkittleCats]

There is only 2 ways in which the North trade doesn't look like a total stuff up: either the kid ends up being a generational talent, in which case who cares what you gave up? Or they have more or less confirmed LDU is gone as a FA next year so will get a good pick back that way.

 

[PeasFC]

I can't believe there are people on here supporting the absolute shit trade that North did. Was it for a Standout player? NO.

If you have Shanahan who many rated in the top 15, you might feel ok about it.
But Matt Whitlock was widely expected to start his range from about where they got him. Hardly a slider.

 

[Tony Barber]

Yeah the Caleb Daniel trade was stupid. He looks toast.

I can understand them wanting to accelerate, pulling a Cortez and burning the boats.

The problem is they're still on the boat, in the middle of the Atlantic

 

[BORIS332]

Offer the bulldogs a future 1st and pick 42 for picks 29 and 31.

Draft Dodson and either of Shanahan or Whitlock

Doubt Dogs would agree to that. Our future first could be pick 28 (as we saw tonight).

 

[SkittleCats]

A pick is coming back.
Nth need to accelerate.

Dont compare us to them.

How do you "accelerate" by taking a kid at pick 27?
