Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Welcome FOS, M.Whitlock, L.Urquhart & River Stevens

[FootySmartSimpson]

Anyone got any insight on how the next 10-15 picks transpire?

Or our chances of landing with Jack or another decent KPF?

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

Duurs and Curtis (+Parker) the only above average-elite contested marks in that group.

I am hoping for better ball movement next season. Then we can just hit them on the chest

 

[Shermanator]

Come on man you're going way too far in the other direction now.

Oh so it's ok for the ''experts'' to throw rocks at EVERY ****in trade/draft we do but as soon they get called out I'm going too far haha give me a spell..

 

[Ashley B]

Surely we will be on the improve next yr surely with the players we have accumulated. And stop calling me Shirley. I am hoping that’s why most teams were not interested in our future first even they think it’s a possibility. Let’s hope

 

[ohmygewd]

With our gun mids streaming forward passing to a forwardline of Larks, Bull, Darling, Durs, Curtis, Parker and Simpkin, I think there is sufficient firepower to do damage.

F@#k the firepower...just have the capacity to defend it coming out and lock in our half rather than the whooshka defensive mentality they've been employing the last 5 years!!

 

[Rooboy53]

I suppose your point about perception is correct. We now know no other club would have used one of the first 27 picks on him, maybe more. So it would have still been a big overpay, but it at least would have been hidden from the public.

Your statement is not correct, only 5 clubs other than North had selections from 18 onwards.

No club that had a pick in that range chose to pick him. I would say if you looked at draft boards most would have him inside selection 27. The variances of 5 clubs lists & who they prioritized is the factor.

 

[chickenonachain]

Imagine if Richmond trade the next pick for a pair of f3 just saying after what we gave them

 

[Chewy Chewman]

Trade doesn’t actually look too bad now. Appears multiple clubs are willing to part with their F1 without anything going back for that first pick tonight. Lucky we got in early

Which part is incorrect? No other club used or acquired one of the first 26 picks to draft him. List needs and which clubs held which picks are just elements of the market that determined he was worth no more than pick 27. Draft boards are irrelevant.

 

[choppy]

When was the last time North went against the grain list-wise and it paid off in spades?

When every club overlooked Larkey

More likely Melbs F1 that Essendon hold.....that's if the tigers don't go Dodson then it's the Doggies turn.

 

[buttox]

The trade was a bit of a shock but I'm happy to move on.
Let's hope he's a good player

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

I've had a day to process this trade.

I'm just gonna back our Boys in to rise further than anyone expects.

 

[Skarrz]

Pre draft FOS Whitlock + Richmond F2 for 2 F1 would have been fine

If it was the same but Tauru/Armstrong would anyone feel different? Don’t worry so much about the number

 

[Heaps of fun]

When every club overlooked Larkey

We must be due the then.

 

[apollo_creed]

So you know Whitlock will be a bust? And you know our F1 will be top 3?

Or are just you just sooking?

Hahaha. And here is the 1# Rawlings apologist here to defend another one of his **** ups.

Tell us how good the CCJ trade was Warlord.

 

[Jimmac31]

There is a rule against trading too many future picks isnt there?

Surely with the amount of top end draft picks we have taken in recent years, we'd get a pass on that trade.

 

[Karanicolas]

I am hoping for better ball movement next season. Then we can just hit them on the chest

We won’t need a forward line. They will be putting them through as they cross the 50!

 

[rickety]

Who the heck are you calling a passionfruit?!

I thought he said passionfruit brunch ....

 

[Makeshift Park]

Why North Melbourne’s shock draft night trade might be justifiable

“Maybe they're sending a message that the time is now.”

Where is the ****up? Caleb Daniel for 28 is a good trade. We'd be unlikely to get as good a player at that pick tonight.
And now we have a key forward as well. The price is high but given it may be pick 8 or 9, not perhaps as high as some fear.
Without the Daniel trade we would have FOS, Whitlock (our second pick) and future first.
With the trade we have FOS, Whitlock, and Daniels, no future first but another future second.
Not as bad as many critics are making out.

Except the fact we look to be giving away a top 5 pick compared to a pick in the teens so it ain’t the same the trade was horrific.

Is Benny Barrett available to us under the dickhead ex-supporter father-son rule?

Yet we magically got one at 27?

So you’re saying essentially Caleb Daniel for our future 1st is a good trade.

Barman I’ll have what this bloke is having
