The idea that they need any more/less support than other interstate players is a misnomer imo. Yes I’d like stats to suggest that they ‘move back’ at a rate any rate then other players.
It possibly was the case historically, but with the support Aboriginal players get nowadays, with our club and Aunty Katrina appearing to be a standout, it’s probably a little less likely to be a reason I would think.
Doesn’t mean it can’t happen though. In NASs case, we all hope not.

Give the man 10 years, I say!

Allan and Armstrong our picks.

Giants make out like ****ing bandits.

Picks 1-7 were always the cream

Nothing has happened in the last few weeks to change my thoughts

We need to find a way to trade up, not down.

Only way your doing that is with Melbourne or Richmond.

7 and F1 -> 5 or 6.

Heavy price to pay
 
So Bo Allan is giving off vibes of finishing top 5 in the Saints best and fairest in his third season?

Then being struck down by injury repeatedly and traded to another club for way under value?

Then is best 22 at that new club until he is injured again and cannot get back in?

If Bo Allan is giving off Coffield vibes and is not injury-prone, then we should pick him lol.

Coffield traded way under value? 😂
The fact he’s hardly had a kick at Footscray probably says that he wasn’t worth very much at all.
 
I get the feeling something big will happen with our picks on draft night. Pick 8 is a seller’s market. Our guys were quite aggressive during the draft last year with far less to offer. There is potential for a crazy offer for 8. I think we’ll be significantly pleased with the players taken with 7/8 if we hold them. It’s going to be good fun come draft night/s.

If the mids all get taken then we get Tauru who looks amazing. Then there's a heap of other very promising mids.

Twomeys phantom next Monday will reveal a lot. Until then it's all scuttlebutt.

We need someone to go early on

No way he makes it to our picks if this happens. Happy to take one for the team if admin can sort it 🍻
 
We missed out on the Essendon trade if we had pick 9 already it would be great.
Does anyone know if we offered a similar trade to Melbourne and they just chose to deal with them?
They gave up a ton for that pick. Future first as well as 28, 40, F3, 54, 65.

I'd prefer us to look at getting ridiculous overs for our pick if someone else is desperate.
 
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but our worst case scenario appears to be we actually use picks 7 and 8 in a highly rated draft year. Is that right? Like for real life?

I don’t actually care what we do from here, if we do end up splitting 8 or whatever on the night etc.

WHAT A BLOODY FANTASTIC POSITION TO BE IN HEADING TO THE DRAFT.

The fact you highlight all the extra support indigenous boys get kind of proves the point I was making earlier.

Which is why I said historically, but I think Ads734 was making the point that it doesn’t appear to happen any more now than any other player wishing to go home.
