North Melbourne also looms as a significant first-round trade story. With the Kangaroos set to take Oakleigh Chargers star Finn O’Sullivan with Pick 2, they’re eyeing a move back into the first round in the hope of securing a key-position player.
The clubs considered most likely to trade with North are Sydney (Picks 19 and 22) and Richmond (18, 20 and 23), who combined hold five of the final six selections in the first round.

The Kangaroos’ future first-round pick is known to be up for grabs, but a straight swap for one of those late first round picks wouldn’t be fair value; it’s likely the Roos would want another pick thrown into the deal.

North in recent weeks has done lots of work recently on several talls, including Sandringham Dragons key defender Luke Trainor - the grandson of Kangaroos and Cats goalkicking legend Doug Wade. Trainor isn’t one of the 20 prospects invited to Marvel Stadium on Wednesday night, but he’ll be one of 12 players linked up to Fox Footy’s broadcast via Zoom.

Our f1 is worth a pick 7-10 (live pick)

otherwise we better hold it

and look to trade our f2 instead

Surely we use future picks to get another rd 1 pick. Keep pick 2

My all-time favourite player is the expected Guernsey presenter for us tonight.

Yes, I'm that old, I didn't get to see him often as living in Canberra, the North games were only televised 4 or 5 times a year, but he was great to watch. The guy could literally walk on water.

What a player. Magnificent to watch. Looked like his stride was about twice as long as every one else when he ran. Unbelievable balance -always on his feet and a good leap as well. The complete footballer.

HS not ready to declare it a Superdraft lol

But oppo supporters have been in here for weeks saying that's why a top 5 pick next year is worth something like pick 42 this year?!

I don't think we'll get a trade offer for 2 that's what we want, so we'll have to move future picks.
Two key points I think are when we're on the clock at 2. Then when the Kako bid comes, do we trade them our F2?
If we do that then we likely can't move the F1 without getting back a F2.

Tigs pick 10 or 11 for our f1 I’d imagine would be the play

 

[Ashley B]

I suppose other clubs have to also weigh whether our future first will be a top 5 pick next yr. Would be great to trade out future first for a rd 1 pick this yr and then we have an unexpected rebound up the ladder.

and only for Tauru

A few tears ago he did some plumbing at my house with his son. Travesty that someone as decorated as him was still working into his 60s

The AFL should have a retirement fund for all those players from the 60 70 and 80s who basically played for nothing

I bumped into Kelvin Moore (ex star Hawthorn 1970s player) a number of years ago ( over 17 years ago) and he was doing electrical work around Seaford

Literally the first time I've seen this written anywhere in the media, and it's 100% correct.

Did you give him shit about the Ashes?

 

[cznsnowy91]

Feel like WCE should definitely be hanging onto their f1st (Same could be said for us I suppose but we have been stacking high picks for a long time). Seems like a great opportunity for clubs with picks in the teens to gamble, kind of wish we could get involved in WCE future first.

Curious to understand what highly respected career Ron would have had without football?

In read in his book, North bailed Barass out of a failing business venture with capital tied to a new contract - if I remember correctly.

No point living a lie mate!

Surely not. Who is running the joint over there?

 

[roo blitz]

Did you give him shit about the Ashes?

Haha, nah I didnt actually but I did ask him about the fact he is in a lot of photos involving some of the great marks of all time under Phil "the snake" Baker and Michael Roach. He was a good sport and said he has the Baker pic at home but turns it upside down so he is on top

Lol if we swap out our f1 for Richmond’s 18, 20 and 23; we’d have melts over here and over there.

Odds that no bid on Kako before #9 ? did the dodo have a hand in trading it away as a parting gesture, would be kind of hilarious if so.

Makes the insult from Barassi somewhat ironic in that case. Colour me surprised.
