Once bitten I would think. JHF slept in the North Melbourne guernsey. Nobody would’ve thought it would've gone that way. I think North don’t go for Draper

Characters are very very different.

Once bitten I would think. JHF slept in the North Melbourne guernsey. Nobody would’ve thought it would've gone that way. I think North don’t go for Draper

At the time that seemed so immature and cringey.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

If north take Draper they are idiots, they used pick 1 on JHF and he left after 1 year, not saying Draper is of the same character as horney but I don’t think they’ll take the risk again with other home grown quality players to take instead.

I also think Draper might struggle to get into their midfield

Wardlaw Sheezel LDU Mckercher

I don’t see him better than any of those

 

[Jeffcrowe]

why not now with our future first?

Wouldn’t get it done

 

[GreyCrow]

Don should have gone with the '' you dont know what goes on inside the 4 walls ''

 

[Danger in Texas]

I also think Draper might struggle to get into their midfield

Wardlaw Sheezel LDU Mckercher

I don’t see him better than any of those

He’d get spot minutes, if Parker and Draper share the ‘5th rotation mid’ time (McKercher could get wing minutes, too)

Certainly once Parker retires (LDU could yet leave after next year, too)

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

I also think Draper might struggle to get into their midfield

Wardlaw Sheezel LDU Mckercher

I don’t see him better than any of those

A very good chance they lose LDU next year though if they can’t get out of the bottom 4

 

[Vader]

Yep that was also mentioned a couple of months ago too , he’s a medium forward that goes ok

Not sure we he fits in if we take Welsh re list spots

We won't have any list spots if we take Welsh.

I can only assume then that we're looking at him for our SANFL team, with a view to the MSD next year (maybe)?

 

[Drewie11]

Characters are very very different.

They might be but JHF sounded and acted like he was going to be a 10 year player for North. With Sid being a Crows supporter I don’t think North go for him when they can go for a Vic lad. They might posture at it and hope we jump and try and trade up but I don’t think they draft him.

Port knew JHF was coming back before he was even drafted.

Sid is a far more grounded and mature kid, he'll stay the course.

Interesting to see what Port squeezed out

to Port is a done deal

 

[Magma]

looks like that mega trade did happen, i assume port must've kept their f1 for it to go ahead.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I’m guessing Port got to keep 39 and 58?

 

[GreyCrow]

Twomey reporting Rory Atkins to Port is a done deal

 

[Geoffa32]

Davies playing the long game with his future employer Collingwood?

 

[relapse]

looks like that mega trade did happen, i assume port must've kept their f1 for it to go ahead.

I hope not!!!

Hoping it's some movement with later picks.

[Jeffcrowe]

Certainly once Parker retires (LDU could yet leave after next year, too)

He’d definitely get minutes but I reckon they’re better off drafting a different player given it’s pick 2 , you want it to be a difference maker to your team not a 4th rotation mid

 

[Magma]

it's like the exact same and port just get pick 50

 

[Scorpus]

So Port rejected the first deal to look tough, then went back and accepted the exact same trade with pick 50 thrown their way from Gold Coast

LOL

 

[relapse]

So what was the difference between that and the one from yesterday?

 

[George Kramer]

Is the only change 58 to 50?

 

[Magma]

port board standing strong for pick 50. salute.

 

[crow2crow]

what's different from last night?
