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

[Roos1991]

We've cooked ourselves for next years draft if we cant trade into it next year (which I hope we can due to the compromised 2027 draft). However, I reckon the pickups this year are on point and might just set us up beautifully.

Club listing him at both 185 and 184cm. Rookieme has him at 184. He doesn't look 190 in footage. Where is 190cm coming from?

Same junior club as Cam Z, as well, I believe. Melville JFC.

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

Or are just you just sooking?

Sooking. Lol.
A string of totally inept list management decisions has led us down the path to ongoing mediocrity.
And now we have basically coughed up what is, on all evidence, top three pick for Daniel, in the process severely compromising our ability to trade in the draft.
It's been a disaster class in recent years, and you're more worried about any critical analysis of it than the actual results
I hope we rise up ladder dramatically and I hope Whitlock becomes a star. I also hope Stevo Jr becomes a jet as we again failed to invest any capital in small forwards.
The second is quite possible, the first is highly improbable based in all current evidence to anyone dealing in reality.

i remember reading all of these posts when Archer was selected. Those aged like milk.

Then you've got harvey who's about to be delisted.

 

[krakouers]

Hmmm...unless they measure differently out west?

Hey, that boy is 3 + 2/9ths of a Dingo flour sack

Patrick Said = The Right Fred

St Kilda got their midfielder!

Pfft Melbourne fashion is weird

We can’t afford to waste a good dingo sack on clothing. And thread is in short supply.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Sounds a bit like SPP from the Tarps, how do the two compare?

Interesting comparison ToxicMegaPunts, on face value pretty good pickup there, quite similar, good call, not bad, not bad at all.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Oh no, another mid. We all know what that means...

PS. For the last time, LDU is not leaving.

Good call, no he's not.

We are North Melbourne, we are the only club to choose elephants.

Roos explain pick swap, praise O’Sullivan

North Melbourne’s Will Thursfield offers insight into his club’s trade with Richmond and explains why No.2 pick Finn O’Sullivan is one to watch for fans

[Danni_Benson]

That’s exactly what we need

More players bordering on arrogance

We’ve got Duursma, all good.

The other factor for next year's trading is the change to academy and father-son bid matching in which round 4 selections no longer carry points values and round 3 selections being worth considerably less points than the current values. That means teams with top-end academy and father-son prospects who want to trade out of the first round to avoid burning their pick completely will be eager to deal with teams holding second-round picks. That gives us an opportunity to get back into the first round.

Dilf chomp chomp chomp

Thanks Tony.

 

[The Talent Scout]

So do we end up resisting pink tomorrow?

Lets put it this way hellas_johnny, Nostra may well have a very bad episode tomorrow and end up in a medical centre, now I really hope that doesn't happen but I can't predict the future!

 

[The Nostradamus]

So do we end up resisting pink tomorrow?

if we are smart we do

or we can waste a spot on him only to delist him again next year for good

 

[the big lebowski]

Those 2 F2’s are likely to be swapped for a mid to late 1st

TTS your man Armstrong slid a fair bit. Any intel?

 

[scottywiper]

Been working all day, just finished. Are we still angry?

I see we have another Urquhart. May this one reach the lofty heights that we only dreamed Gavin would.

When I voted for Gav I meant Luke

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

So as a hypothetical guys….
If we secure Aleer next year with the Richmond F2, is it still considered a loss to have Matlock and Aleer for F1?

We took two small forwards this trading/draft.
